Christmas in July 2009 Block of the Month Quilt at BOMquilts.com
Beginning on Wednesday, our Christmas in July 2009 at www.BOMquilts.com will kick off, with a brand new *free* BOM quilt pattern!
On Saturday, the kids were exhausted from a week of VBS, so all they wanted to do was to veg out in front of the television with a movie, so I took the opportunity for some serious quilt therapy, and knocked out an entire BOM quilt before midnight (and I also had lunch & got a nap, too)!!!

The Radishes Rule!
My DH teaches Sunday School at church. Since we are Lutheran, he totally and completely agrees with the Lutheran principals of our denomination – those set forth by Martin Luther in the late 1400’s to early 1500’s; when his so-called blasphemy got him in hot water, and led to the reformation of 1516-17.
Lutherans base moral thought and action on the Bible, the foundational doctrines found in the Book of Concord, and on the historical example of Martin Luther. (http://www.patheos.com/Explore/Library/Lutheran/Ethics-Morality-Community/Principles-of-Moral-Thought-and-Action.html)
Some may, today, call him the radical of his time.
The Latin derivitive of “radical” is RAD. Hence, because my husband is such a “by the book” type of teacher; his small, but mighty, group of Sunday School participants have gleefully been coined the RADISHES.
Ms. Mary, one of the radishes, was in a car accident last week. She and her husband are ok, and are home recuperating. So, during my nap yesterday, DD#1 took the time to paint Ms. Mary a little get well gift….from one radish to another:

School Incentives
DD#3 just finished the 2nd grade at the local public school. During her award’s ceremony, she received a certificate for perfect attendance.
Yesterday in the mail, she received another award for that perfect attendance – a check in the amount of $200!!! As I understand it, a member of the community graciously rewards second graders with such checks, if they have either perfect attendance or if they miss 1 or 2 days.
I was dumbfounded and have never heard of such a thing before! Of course, she refuses to share with me … and she won’t even consider buying her dad a Father’s Day gift with some of her funds. She emphatically (and loudly) has stated that she’s saving her money to buy her very own LAPTOP. Can a geeky mom really be upset about that?!
I think I’ll head back to second grade next year!
