My own Ode to Joy. Those who say sunshine brings happiness have never danced in the rain. Friday, July 20, 2012. 1 There was a wonderfully awful thunder storm at 3 this morning. The power blink woke me up, and I stayed up to watch as lightning flashed across the sky. Oh it was beautiful! 2 It is now raining. It started this morning at 3. We got poured on for about 30 minutes and now it has slowed down to a steady drizzle that may last for days. 4 I like the rain. 12 Mr O and Peaches are both growing.

First we walked down history lane where the foundations of Egypt started.

My own Ode to Joy. Those who say sunshine brings happiness have never danced in the rain. Friday, February 17, 2012. So right before Christmas one of the kids (I don't remember which one) asked if I was going to learn now that they were both on the team. Wouldn't I get bored during practice with nothing to do? So I said, sure, I'll give it a try. So it began. Last month, when we came back to school after Christmas break, I took the challenge. Oh my word it is really hard! I'm gonna make the team!
