I've taken 3 photos of life preservers in the past year. You know, there's just something about them that I'm drawn to.
Lately, I felt like I've needed a life preserver thrown to me! With my mom's health troubles, Brad being laid off, his father passing away, the pressures of; homeschool Noah, work, taking care of the homestead, the family and all the while trying to retain some sort of sanity. I must admit, life has been a challenge lately! I guess we all go through times like this. It's really how we handle ourselves through the rough times that matters.
But, Spring is here!!! My mom is home and feeling better, I've managed to pay all our bills on time this month on 1/3 of our normal income (blessed be) don't ask me how. I've signed Noah up for his spring homeschool classes and summer camps.
Noah is really excited about a new hobby he wants to start called Geocaching, but we're starting with Letterboxing which doesn't require a GPS, just a compass and we already have a compass. When things get better, we'll invest in a GPS and start geocaching then.
Noah read a book called Let's go Geocaching/A Boy's Life Reader and was so excited about it. It would be fun to start a small homeschool geocaching/letterboxing group of friends.
So tomorrow is our first letterboxing treasure hunt named Spooky Harvest Moon at the Fenner Nature Center. Hope we find it!
