Good Things

We just got back yesterday from family church camp. We had a good time. It was nice to have a little escape to be with other ladies . We did cardmaking and it was fun to have the chance to be creative. We used scrapbooking supplies but I enjoy rubber stamping,too. I am thinking of selling Stampin' Up supplies even if it is for nothing more than a personal discount. They have some really cute things.
I wore my headcoverings the whole time and I got some wondering looks but no one said anything.After a couple of days, I think everybody got used to it. I am looking forward to ordering some new ones from Garlands of Grace in a couple of weeks. The style that I prefer is the "Cecily".I also am now wearing skirts/dresses only. The headcoverings are in obedience and submission but the skirts/dresses are really just a personal preference in femininity.
Pre-teen DD "E" celebrated her 12th birthday on Friday. We took her to Target and let her pick out some things.She also enjoyed kayaking on the lake.
Unfortunately, the other day, big-boy "T" had low blood sugar and it took quite a few minutes to get his blood sugar number up to where it was normal again. It was a bit of a scare. Please pray for "T". He has been on the low side lately mostly because he is more active this summer.
Today, my dh had some good things happen: He sold four jars of his BBQ sauce which we hope to have at the farmer's market by next year at least.He also was chosen for a bull moose hunting permit which he will be able to use this Fall. He also is eligible for a $15,000 housing grant. We are still waiting for the approval for the USDA rural development loan eligibility. We should know within a week. Please pray about this if you feel so led to. We really would like to move into a house before it gets too cold. It actually starts snowing here in September.
It is like 90 degrees here today and I am in the mood to bake. Why am I always in a baking mood when it is hot?(Maybe it's a Christmas in July thing. I always seem to think about Christmas this time of year,too.) I think I will forego it though because we don't have A/C and we don't need to heat up the house anymore than it already is. Maybe it will be cooler by the end of the week and I can make some chocolate chip/M&M cookies. Chocolate chip cookies and frosted soft sugar cookies are my favorite. What are your favorite cookies?
One final good moment to end this post on: Today baby boy"K" had a first. He laughed...a precious little giggle. Isn't being a parent wonderful as we can delight in such a simple and wonderful thing as a child's laughter? ahhh....
