Cows, Meadows, Snowy Peaks Afar...

Sorry for those who prefer Flickr to Picasaweb...I've put some more photos up on Picasaweb.

See photos I've taken recently of Cows, Green Meadows, Autumn Foliage, Snowy Peaks Faroff, Garden Flowers...

Sample:

Jason's been working on his school newspaper and hopes to get the first edition of the year distributed today. 28 pages! A lot of students have contributed articles, which is fun. Jason's been doing all the editing and layout, with the help of a 12th grader who knows the computer program. I can't wait to see the result.

Emily's been writing a research paper on the Legacy of Ancient Roman Medical Practices! It was very interesting to listen to her read it aloud as I cooked ratatouille for the first time last night. I made crêpes with ratatouille filling (for the adults), and regular ham, potatoes and cheese/goat cheese for the young'uns. I don't know what got into me - I also baked an apple pie. And the day before I baked a banana cake with chocolate glaze between the layers (with banana slices) and on top (with sliced almonds). Yummy. I made chick pea and vegetable curry the night before last, and plan for chicken-mushroom-cocout milk curry tonight. It's been a good culinary week!

A wonderful new friend who is in our Moms in Touch prayer group has asked me if I'd like to be her prayer partner for general prayer as well (at Moms in Touch we only pray for our kids and the school), and we plan to walk and pray (if the weather is good) starting after October break. I am very blessed and excited, as I loved having prayer partners in England, and it's a great way to deepen a friendship, not to mention bring more peace and joy into my life.

We're excited to head off to France and Germany and francophone Switzerland next week for the school break. Maybe we'll even make it to Liechstenstein by the end of the week. Amazing the places you can get by car within a couple of hours of here!
