Foto Friday Challenge: Squares

Posted in Photography

Once again, we took to nature to find our challenge for this week ~ squares.  For the most part, I tried to find things that were a bit different than last week.  Other than the first photo, we found these items while we were out in the desert working on Munchkin’s dirt bike skills.  She does a few lessons, and then we look for things for the photo challenge.  It’s a lot of fun. For more Foto Friday Challenge, head over to Renaissance. Check out some of my past Foto Friday Challenges.

The Joy of Friendship

Posted in Family, and Military Life

I’ve written before that we have been blessed by good neighbors, good friends at this duty station. I was reminded again today how grateful I am for these good friendships as Munchkin happily ran around with her friend while we stood and talked with her mom, our neighbor. Munchkin does her school work quickly and efficiently (most days), so she has time to get her chores done before her friends come over to play.  She has multiple girl friends here which has never happened in the past.  Most of her friends are Christians and homeschoolers.  Once again, that isn’t something…
