Tackle It Tuesday #155
I went on a decluttering spree this week of my bedroom bookcases. I’m now less bundles of homeschooling magazines and oodles of books. What a great tackle! Normally it’s very difficult for me to part with books I own but not that day. I was on a mission and very single minded about it. Here are just a few of the books that I cleared from my shelves. If you or someone you know would be interested, please contact me at timbuck2mom@yahoo.com. All prices include shipping. The Philosophy of the Christian Curriculum by Rousas John Rushdoony – This book has some highlighting and underlining the first 16 pages, otherwise in very good…

This Age Thing Can Be Trying
I always used to look younger than my actual age. People would tell me that I would like that when I got older but I was so sure that I just wanted to look my age – not older – but just my age. Apparently, my wish has come true and maybe even more than what I wished for. I was purchasing a children’s cowboy belt the other day when the cashier said, "Is this for your son or grandson?" Okay, lady. Do I look like some marshmallow that you can say anything to? Of course, I would never say any such thing so I took my second option and just smiled sweetly. When…

The Farm is Down by Half
We are now less a steer, lamb and pig on our little farm since 4-H EXPO was just this past Wednesday – Saturday. I love EXPO which is where all the 4-H’ers and FFA members bring the animals they’ve raised to show them in classes for confirmation and showmanship. On Saturday there is a big auction and all animals are sold. It’s really a fun and exciting time. This year was a great year for us. Seth won Grand Champion Steer for confirmation as well as Reserve Grand Champion Showman. This was Seth’s last year in 4-H; he’s been in it for 10 years. This year he named his steer…

Our 20 Year Wedding Anniversary
20 years ago Russell and I tied the knot. But it was a double knot tied that day for my sister was married also. She was 25 and I had just turned 20. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago and in others it seems only a few years. Dad bore it all quite well. He was dealing with quite a bit. Marrying off two daughters and having a wife (my mom) having a mastectomy just 3 weeks prior. Looking back I think I was so young and naive. Thankfully, God was directing my footsteps and gave me a wonderful man to share my life with. My dear husband has helped…

The Wedding is Over
The wedding that saw so much preparation is over and I have to say it was probably the nicest wedding I have been to (at least that I can remember). But let me show some pictures of the days leading up to the event and then I’ll throw in a few of the wedding. The rehearsal dinner was held at our place. Much preparation went into getting everything ship-shape. But then the day of – it started snowing and it was quite chilly. This picture shows the snow coming down. (if you look real hard) I knew I could not seat 70 people inside my house but I figured we would…
