Laytonology: Marnie's First Report
http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2014/01/marnies-first-report.html
Monday, January 13, 2014. Marnie was still five years old when she started school. There was no kindergarten class for her; she went straight to Grade One. Her teacher was Mrs. Ellensburg. Mrs. Ellensburg was old. She had gray hair and wore glasses. She could sometimes be mean, but most of the time was nice. Marnie did not mind staying home because she could lay in bed or on the couch and read lots of books! Mrs Ellensburg announced that all the children would be writing a report. The report was abou...

Laytonology: February 2015
http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2015. Our home teacher, George, is about 85 years old, give or take a year. He is a quiet and humble man, but when he tells a story, it is a good idea to listen, because it is going to be good. So he got on the horse and rode around some, further out, but no sign of the cow. So, sitting on the horse, again he prayed, "Heavenly Father, thank you for the horse. But now, I don't know where to look for the cow. Can you help me with that? I would not want to have to clean that up! This is...

Laytonology: Another Family Gathering
http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2015/08/another-family-gathering.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Michelle with Rachael, me trying to get Leon to look at the camera, Alice giving Michael big hugs, and Matthew actually looking at the camera- Michael's friend Jamie was taking the picture. Matthew, Alice and I taking selfies while waiting for their mom. Since I am not good at selfies, the result is about what you would expect. I wanted to get a good picture of Michael and Alice, but I missed the best shot and ended up with something very blurry! Josie takes a turn juggling Leon.

Laytonology: November 2014
http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. So, viola congress. I love the moist sea-level air! I love the beauty and the cobblestone, and the feeling of being in a place with a long history. I am staying at the seminario, the Catholic seminary, and our congress events take place in a monastery! That serves the upper levels. I am just pleased with myself for being quite comfortable about finding my way around, and walking to and from the monastery, even in the dark. It is a lovely city. Saturday, November 8, 2014. Just f...

Laytonology: Marnie and the Bully (part two)
http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2014/02/marnie-and-bully-part-two.html
Saturday, February 15, 2014. Marnie and the Bully (part two). On the way home that night, almost everyone on the bus asked Marnie about her head. That big white bandage wrapped around like a turban drew lots of attention. When Marnie, Arwen, Collette and Brian got off the bus and started down the driveway, they could see Mommy looking out the kitchen window, an anxious look on her face. She met them at the door. “Marnie! 8221; she fussed, “Nurse Gamble phoned about your head. What happened? She did not e...

http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2015/07/question-16-part-1-elementary-school.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Question 16 (Part 1: Elementary School): What were your favorite subjects in school? Somy favorite subjects in school.well, in Grade One, I think I liked to learn everything. Just learning was so interesting! I wrote in one of my fictionalized accounts, Marnie's First Report. Always wanting to copy my work. I remember learning about the planets in Grade Two- probably because of that near miss with the strap that I already wrote about- but I remember recess better than school. W...

Thursday, July 30, 2015. Canada 2015: July 26 and 27. Then LeRon asked if we would mind if he played the organ- it is his habit to give himself an organ recital on Sunday mornings. OF COURSE nobody minded- we WANTED him to do it! And I decided to snap some pictures while he was playing. Here you can see the beautiful music room. Coffered ceiling designed and built by Craig and inspired by the ceiling in the PIVA room. Craig is holding his house plan; Rosie, Josie and David. My Hmm was an actual Hmm.

Laytonology: How does your garden grow?
http://myrnalayton.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-does-your-garden-grow.html
Saturday, August 15, 2015. How does your garden grow? Pretty good this year.and also pretty bad. All depends on which plant you are talking about. All eight tomato plants have fruit and are growing strong and healthy. Here you can see the whole row. The leaves of the yellow rose are getting chewed up pretty badly again this year, but it is otherwise healthy. We had lots of volunteer portulaca, and it is doing great! My pepper plants are doing great! I do not know. This year, instead of watering via spray...
