Learning By The Way

Margary loves to climb stairs, and loves to be with her big brother Samuel. Hence, she didn’t miss the chance to “help” him wash windows this morning.

I love the way that God has worked through the people of Shepherd’s Crook to help bring orphans into a home. We’ve supported them in their mission as we’ve been able, and so I was pleased to find that I can support them everyday in a small way- by using the search engine GoodSearch. When you go to GoodSearch, you can enter Shepherd’s Crook into the “Who do you GoodSearch for?” box, and they will get a penny every time you search. This can really add up!

Is GoodSearch as good a search engine as Google? No way. But I find that about 85% of the time it pulls up exactly what I need on the first page. If I really can’t find what I need, I go to Google. But with GoodSearch as my default search engine, I can help out a cause I believe in. This I like.

If you were hoping from the title for a post about knitting and rockets, you will be disappointed. I just wanted to tell y’all that I’ve been doing some writing about knitting. I’m the editor of the knitting pages at Garden and Hearth. I didn’t mention it right away, because it was a secret- I used the startup bonus money toward James’ birthday present. But now I can tell you. “Hey, I’m famous! Visit my webpage!”

After years of wishing she could, Moriah is finally getting to take riding lessons. She had her first lesson today, riding western style at Rocking C Stables. She is taking lessons with her friend Mailys, and their horses names were Cricket and Freckles. They had a wonderful time.

And I got to sit and chat and knit at a picnic table by the horse arena. It was a beautiful afternoon with gentle breezes and a blue sky. Not a dream come true perhaps, just a lovely vignette in my beautiful life.
