Fire Safety Day

Today we had such a nice day. A "local" fire company had a Fire Safety Day...

*my pics are in terrible order, sorry for that)

This is actually the END of the day...... everyone LOVES their firefighters hats!! ;)


This was MY favorite part-- this little trailer had 3 different rooms in it... where they were able to show what it would/could be like if there were a fire inside. They had smoke filled rooms (only it wasn't smoke, not sure what it was?!) They taught the children about how to use a fire Estinguisher, how to tell if it is safe to open a door, how to exit, what to do with a fire in an oven, etc... VERY interesting...

This is the side of the trailer you can see the "smoke" coming out.


This was probably the boys favorite part-- they were taken up in the BOOM!!!!!!!! (no way was I going up there!!)


Checking out an Ambulance....




Life Lion came too-- (they did a mock accident, pulled someone out of a car and landed Life Lion) that was neat!!

Here is the boom



Here was the car they CUT open in practice....

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
