We made the 9am church service at FCF, the bongo-barefoot guys played again...moving on. Lucy LOVES her class there, it's wonderful to see her hanging out with children and women that love the Lord as much as we do :)
Saturday we went swimming and bought peaches and corn from 2 different farms. The peaches were not ripe enough to eat, I'm so going back to Gardenhour as soon as I have $. The corn as always was fantastic, we froze about 4 gallon baggies and ate about 5 ears a piece :)
Sunday we went to a horse pull at the Wash co ag festival, it was so COOL to see those big guys pulling those loads. Lucy liked it and we got to sit in the shade and relax, very nice :)
Thursday we ate enchiladas at home, WONDERFUL recipe I tweaked, and then headed out to the Washington County Ag Festival again. Goats, Pigs, cows, horses, ducks, chickens, rabbits as big as a small dog, OH MY! We had fun and were running short of $ so we had one ride for daddy and Lucy on the carousel and saw all the animals
Today is Friday and I had the ladies over for a sewing circle with their kids for a playdate, Mrs. Karen watched them for us while we tried to work on our projects. Heather told us about "boot camp" she implemented for her children, I could see a difference in their response to her and her mom. Mothering children is like running a marathon, you have to just keep going and be consistent in your expectations and responses. It's so easy to fail them and so exhausting to do right by them!
We are running about a week and half behind on our $ inflow vs. outflow, we're going to have to seriously buckle down on what we spend for the next month and half to get back on track with savings and cash flow. We were denied for a debt consolidation loan through our bank, our scores are high 700s but our cash flow is not enough they said....sigh. I am praying that the house/kennel sells this year, then that will wipe all our debt out and give us significant savings for a new house, etc.
Unfortunately now is the time for peaches, and all other assorted berries and goodies in our area, so I'm going to have to be frugal in that area. Praying for that house to sell!!
