Ok...I've been "tagged" twice now, and I'm just figuring out what that means! Anyway, I'm supposed to post these rules first:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

Here are my 7 facts about myself:
1. I was a preachers kid for 15 years
2. I worked in two canneries during the summers when in high school and college.
3. I picked beans and raspberries to make money in high school.
4. I was a teacher for 28 years (15 as a 4th grade teacher, but also have taught 1st-6th grades).
5. I have two adult sons living in California
6. I became a Christian when I was 5 or 6 years old.
7. I am left-handed.

I don't have 7 people to "tag"...so now what do I do?

Croptoberfest 2007 is now history! I was very excited about everyone who turned out...it was especially fun having two "Faith Sisters" there! Everyone seemed to have a great time scrapbooking, and I think they may even start coming to my monthly free crops! (at least the ones who live in the area...I don't expect the two who came from Centralia and Belfair to come! LOL).
TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY IN THE PNW! I loved the day. I went for a walk...not with my dad because he went without me :( But, I did walk to Walgreens to pick up my Croptoberfest pictures. It was a two mile walk. I even got hot! (no, it wasn't due to hot flashes!)

I am praying for my friends in SoCal with all those fires. It's hard to grasp how bad it is. I hope the Santa Ana winds end soon, and the fires can be contained soon.

Oh! Because of the beautiful day, I was actually able to plant the last 3 plants I needed to plant...woohoo! Now, if they will just not die!

I had a great weekend...went to a Women of Faith Conference, and it was amazing! I love all those ladies. They are so real. They shared from their hearts, and how God helped them through their trials. Which reminds me of what Marilyn Meberg said...."David didn't say, 'Yea, though I walk around the valley of the shadow of death', or under it, or over it, but THROUGH it." Through it means there's a beginning, a middle, and an end. God will be with us THROUGH our valleys. Something I knew, but is nice to be reminded of.

Today, I actually planted some plants in my front and backyard. Major undertaking for me...the non-gardener! I just hope they don't die! We're supposed to be getting a lot of rain this week, so at least they'll get water!

I am hosting a Croptoberfest this Saturday. I'm excited about it, I just hope everyone comes who says they will come!

I am really enjoying the FaithSisters forum. Awesome group of ladies!

I can't believe October is half over. Winter will soon be here...

October has arrived! Yesterday we had a huge rainstorm, complete with thunder, and I'm assuming lightning, although I never saw any. I don't like all this rain this early!



I didn't get the dental office job, but applied for another one. I haven't heard from that one either. I do have a subbing job for tomorrow (Friday) so that will be good. I also have an interview on the 19th for a paraeducator substituting position in the Vancouver school district. We'll see how that goes.



I am so enjoying the faith sisters blog. Great group of ladies!



I am also enjoying a Bible Study at my mom's church. It's a Beth Moore study on A Woman's Heart. It's all about the building of the tabernacle. Very good study! It's fun to do something like that with my mom, too.
