President's Day

Here is the how I spent the best part of my day off! Playing with paper, drinking tea, eating Girl Scout Cookies (I love this time of year).
As you may know, or maybe not, I have given up reading fiction for Lent. On days like today when I am home alone all day it is very difficult to stick to no novels. I made it through another day though! I spent some time reading "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" and worked a bit on my lesson for Sunday's JYF. I practiced my violin twice (I needed that) and I made art!

Be the Change this Season

Just a reminder of why I don't watch TV

I just happened to have the TV on earlier this morning to see what the weather would grace us with today...it got left on and I just now walked past. This is what I heard...."Oh, Martha, I just have to say how much I adore you! You are just like the big sister in my head!!" Spoken with all the emotion of a screaming rock star fan. Pu-lease. I won't go into what I think of Martha, but I'm thinking my decision to avoid TV and particularly daytime TV was a wise one. Just sayin'.
