At The Door

Good Afternoon/Guten Tag! Here I am in New Hope's computer lab - our awesome computer lab! A parent gave new flat-screen monitors and they look so nice! Thank you, dear parents, and thank You, dear God! And thank you, Jacob, for showing me how to do this blog. New Hope begins tomorrow, Tuesday, September 1st. Last night I made 4 loaves of the Amish Friendship Bread so took some over to the office for the hungry busy teachers! Also took some to Highland House for the hungry busy nurses. I have four sourdough starters to the first four hungry takers! The crockpot is busy getting tonight's supper with split peas, salami, and everything adding up in the refrigerator. The dove is enjoying flying. I just copied something I wrote awhile back about Jesus as the Bread of life to put with the recipe for the friend bread.

Enjoyed going to River Valley Church this morning. Nice to look online at their website to find out the times of the services - www.rivervalleycc.org

Fun time at Corban College, soon to be Corban University! Parent-Student weekend and fun to meet lots of the students and teachers and parents. The school gives good preparation for mountain climbing with all the hills to walk up and down!

Good Morning! Just wanted to share with you all God's goodness to Jacob and us in his new-to-him nice car! Susanna's husband Dave found it online and he is especially good at Subarus. He & Suzy each have one and he found one for Daniel and now for Jacob! Today Terell & I go up to Corban for the Parent-Student Days.

Nice warm Thursday with Open House at New Hope tonight! See you there.

Hi Everyone, Warmer at 98! Just talked to Jacob and he is going swimming with some Corban kids. Benjy is busy with his chemistry class. Christen got a teaching job! She will be teaching 3rd grade! How exciting! I am doing laundry. Actually kind of fun, especially hanging it on the line. Salmon for supper. Got to visit my Dad at Highland House. Hope you are all having a great day.

A busy exciting day! Jacob drove his nice burgundy subaru to school today via Benjy at OSU and Daniel & Christen at WOU. Daniel & Christen escorted him to Corban to help him learn the route. We are looking forward to the Friday Parent/Student meetings. Also the New Hope Staff potluck was a lot of fun at Chuck and Kim Kostrna's.
