I have been enjoying Jennifer's posts over at Conversion Diary. Friday's are 7 Quick Takes, and it's a great wrap-up for the week. Pop over and check it out!

Have had a long-time dear friend on my mind and dashed off a quick email. She has a lumpectomy scheduled soon with a fam hx of cancer. Please pray for Laura and her fam. We love them.

Had a great time with KB this week planning, decorating, looking at recipes. Why do we always end up with the same menu? I look for new recipes and new dishes but they seem either weird or cost a fortune. I think we'll make Baklava this year for desert-yet another revision to the posted Menu.

Went on a field trip today to a Fire Engine Factory. So very, very cool. The kids had a blast, the parents had a blast. The tour guide was funny and informative and let the kids climb all over the engines in the display room for 1/2 hour with lights flashing.

Scored at the thrift store this week. Boys jeans in great shape for dirt cheap, books by 2 of my fav authors and 3 videos- Galaxy Quest, One Night with a King & Schindler's List. We are doing a high school One Act at the end of January and our play is on a WWII Czech Concentration Camp along with a unit study. This will fit in so very well. Cool thing is that the Morgan's lead a "Holocaust to Hope" tour and take communion at the selection point, redeeming the holocaust. It was a powerful to hear Janet tell of their adventures at the camps and what God
is doing last Friday during our visit with them. (http://www.howardmorganministries.org/

Howie Morgan's teaching tapes continue to bless and challenge us. Good stuff. Really good stuff. The teaching exposes my immaturity and convicts me. Not a combo I go looking for on my own but I do appreciate growing up and the freedom that affords.

A friend owns the "How Shall We Then Live" DVD by Francis Shaeffer and she is loaning it to me! Woohoo. I had wanted KB and Feche-Boy to see this. I'm thrilled.

Discovered a "Jesus Stocking" - went back to link the blog and "lost it" -if it is your idea, lmk and I'll link-ya! "A Jesus stocking is…just that. A Christmas stocking made for Jesus. It hangs in a place of prominence throughout Advent, and each day the family writes on pieces of paper things they are grateful for. Into the stocking they go, along with good deeds, and corporal or spiritual works of mercy performed during Advent as gifts for Jesus. What a great idea, and a very simple way to remember the reason for our joy!"*

Yay!! I can't wait to see Schindler's list in English!!!!
Csaba and I watched it but it had Hungarian voice-overs, so I wasn't really sure what was going on except Schindler was trying to save the Jews, a bunch of people got shot, and there was this really creepy guy who liked his maid who I think was Jewish... :-)
