Hello everyone! Sorry this week has been hit and miss. We are having some work done on our house and things have been very busy and messy. I finally have everything cleaned up and furniture moved back. I can even use the kitchen today. Then they will be back on Monday to make another mess!
Today I just want to share another list from "Lists To Live By", compiled by Alice Grey, Steve Stephens, and JohnVanDiest. I chose one about children, since our story this week was Elizabeth.
