Friday File 55
It's been four weeks since I put a "Friday File" up. Between my sickness, the children's sickness, and rural internet not working March was just not a good month for my blog. I'm hoping now that we are all better to get back into the swing of things because I have so many things I …
Hidden Art – Music
I'm really enjoying rereading The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer. This week I read the first chapter that gets into the nitty-gritty of how we can add beauty to our everyday life.

Library Time 84
