Last night it rained quite a bit, and we woke this morning to green grass. Oh, it’s just down-right refreshing! I never realized how much I enjoy grass – especially when it’s green. Today has been rather cloudy. But one day it will be warm and the sun will shine! I love being around people, and the past couple weeks have been quite busy with “people gatherings.”
Mom and I have created a blog all about homeschooling in Indiana. Mom sends out an email for the hoemschoolers in our area, and sometimes the links and such can be quite overwhelming. So in setting up this site, we have lots of links on the sidebars. We decided to name it “Right Here In Indiana” after much thought and many suggestions. We didn’t get too creative with the title, but it’s kinda cute. We will post different articles about homeschooling, and now and then have a guest writer. We’ve been working on it for a couple weeks now, and we’ve finally got it all set up. The template has been quite a bit of fun designing. We are keeping the graphics at a minimum, so that viewers with dial-up won’t have any trouble in loading the page. We’d like to know what you think, and maybe even a few suggestions on different post topics or links that should be on the sidebar. You can visit the new blog here.
What do you think of my new signature? I had quite a bit of fun designing it. First I wrote my name on a piece of paper, scanned the paper, and then put that image in Adobe Illustrator, and drew it. Then I changed the color, drug it over to Adobe Photoshop, and saved it as a png, deleting the white background. They’re quite fun to design.
My uncle Chris is in need of your prayers. On Easter he noticed that his leg was beginning to swell around his knee. He went to the doctor last Tuesday and the doctor wanted him to go to the hospital, but Chris convinced him to just prescribe him some medication. The swelling went down just a tad, he went to his second appointment, and the doctor told him that he needed to be admitted into the hospital. Since Thursday Chris has been in the hospital. The swelling in his leg grew to about 2 times larger than normal, and spread into his upper thigh. They did surgery on his leg on Saturday to see if there was a foreign object causing the problem, but all that was found was a lot of infection. They want to perform another surgery on his leg tomorrow. Please pray that God would give the doctors wisdom, and that He would heal Chris’s leg. Maggie will probably continue to update you all on about Chris. Thank you so much for the prayers!
Blessings!
