Nine Ingredients for Salad

The more colors in the vegetables you eat, the more diverse the nutrients you are ingesting. Good for you!

I have this list on my refrigerator which reminds me to get as many vegetables into our salads as possible. I check the list constantly while making our salads. My house is loaded with finicky eaters, so everyone gets one custom made.

"Sugar Pie" Pumpkin Muffins

I found a recipe that uses honey and whole wheat flour for these muffins. The "Sugar Pie" pumpkins in the background are from our garden. They are the perfect size to cut in half and cook in the steamer.

Horseback Riding on Texas Bess

We have incorporated horseback riding into our school lessons. My son let me ride for about five minutes. The photo is of me on the horse that lives in our pasture. We finally learned how to ride her when my sister-in-law came for a visit. She loves horses and has six of them, so she is quite the expert. Thank you Lorrie.

Cute Little Recipe Books

Most of the recipes I use or are collecting I copied onto index cards either from the internet or from my cookbooks.

I used a Rollabind hole puncher and discs so I can move the recipes around or add to them.

"Selective Bible reading involves using the right bait when you troll the Scriptures." Howard Hendricks

On these index cards are six 'lures' that you can use with any text, six questions to ask any passage of Scripture from Howard Hendricks' Living by the Book.

I have a copy of these in my Bible. As we are going through the book of Matthew in our study of the Life of Christ, I ask these questions and write them down in our journal. The next day before we read the next section, we review by seeing if we remember the answers. If not, we look them up.

I have it printed on an index card and you can download a copy of it here.

We are on chapter 17 and it is the sixth week of school.

Bible Study is our favorite subject.

Living by the Book by Howard G. Hendricks and William D. Hendricks. Moody Press, Chicago, 1991.
