Love is in the air............


With Valentines Day fast approaching and the big 40 for me (:}) I really wanted something "lovey, gushy like " to put on my table. I am by no means a decorator, but I do have a flair for being a little different and I love color. Usually bright color, but occasionaly I will go for the muted tones. Well...like you don't know what is coming, I stopped into Hannah's Candles downtown and found the perfect "centerpiece" for my table for the month of February. I thought I would just buy myself a little something he he he..... And it was 50% off, who can resist that? And of course I took a picture to share with those who care.
As far as school goes, we are finishing up Greece and heading back to the promised land. Tapestry of Grace has done a "Map of the Humanities" and it is available to look at at their website. WOW is it cool. Hopefully I will have a little extra this month to get one to hang in the home. It begins with Year 1 (the biblical account of time beginning) and follows all the history, literature, bible history, geography, philosophy, art and government through today. In a 4 year time span, learning at the levels of lower grammar, upper grammar, dialectic and rhetoric. This map was surely a labor of love and will be much appreciated by many. I hope you will take the time to go to http://www.tapestryofgrace.com/ and check it out. Well...... off to the evening service as both DC are singing for their childrens choir program tonight.
