The Moon From Our Place

Because of all the smoke and dust in the air this is what the moon looked like a couple of evenings ago when it was low in the sky.  I've been trying out some of the different settings on my camera so thought I would try a night shot.

Sober-Minded

Allow me to revisit this subject again.  For anyone who is serious about following the Lord and developing a Scriptural outlook on life I would recommend reading the following article.  It was written by Matthew Henry many years ago but is still quite relevant today.  Just click on the following link:

And here is a good one for sober minded woman or those who desire to be: "In Pursuit of Virtue":

Refinishing Project

When we came here five years ago we bought a little used table and chairs for the boys.  It was in rough shape and the boys didn't make it any better over the years.  So after returning this time I decided to see what I could do to refinish it.  So you can see below what we did. 
Here is the "before" picture of a chair.
The boys helped me do a lot of the sanding.
The table after some sanding.
And the finished product.  The boys really like the John Deere look!
