That I have the most boring blog in the blogging universe! I did write a post the other day about my dad but it was so sad and so gloomy I removed it this morning. I wrote it on the anniversary of his death, but I don't want to be reminded of that each time I come here, so I whisked it away to oblivion this morning. I guess I just don't have much else to say right now! I wish I could be one of those amazing blogging types who seems to spend hours writing blog entries and posting glamourous home makeovers and all the crafts I do.
The truth is...I am boring and don't have much to expound upon! I love being home and hanging with my kids, and so haven't ventured out much, especially with this horrendous weather. Well, yesterday dh and I did have an outing... we went to the allergist and had our drug challenge tests done. Mike had his for penicillin, which he is no longer allergic to!! And I had one for ibuprofen, and I can now take Advil!!! I am so glad, because it will help with the costochondritis I have had flaring a lot lately.
Apart from that, we have been doing school. Devin and I have been rowing with Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, which he loves to do each day! We have been starting a study ( all of us) on Ancient history- the kids are fascinated to know what life was like when I was a child...lol! Life has just been busy and my priorities are with my family and keeping us all going! I did go out on a hike on our property yeterday with Devin but the pictures are so dreary and so colourless that I am reluctant to post them.
I need to go find some colour! I have to admit, my mom sent me a book on Dufferin County, where my family lives and I grew up, and it has made me homesick. I do miss fields and big trees and open spaces. Here it is like scrub Arctic grasses and pine trees. I need to get me down to the ocean, that always makes me feel so much better. It makes me feel so small, and feel so thankful that we have such an awesome, amazing God who created such immense beauty in the big things, but also in the tiniest things. Awesome! And of course, if I wasn't such a homebody, I could just take a drive to the Valley and see all the grass and wide open spaces my little heart desires! Once I get my van out of the shop and the roads are going to be clear for more than 10 minutes, I think that will be on the agenda.
I can't download my photos from Photobucket right now, so I will post this one. A few weeks ago we went on a hike to the Salt marsh Trail near Cole Harbour. We were surprised to see this guy basking in the sunshine!

Your life is as exciting as the next blogger out there because you are who God created you to be with the family he placed in your life...and that is very exciting and rewarding...and a true gift from above. Don't be afraid to share it with the world, because it's you!!! And there is no one else like you or your family and we want to here about even the most of mundane things going on. But to the rest of us they are probably not mundane. We are woman who are called to our homes and to care for our husbands and children...and that is worth writing about because anything that God gives us is worth writing about.
The incredible friend that you are to each of us would be diminished if you were not here in blogland.
Blessings and keep the posts comin'

Well my love I finally got around to reading your blog. I totally missed the post about your dad and I feel terrible about doing so.
That said I did read this post - There is nothing better than having a loving wife who is a great mom who takes a huge amount of time to look after her family and her house the way that you do.
Quite often you are totally unappreciated (not by me of course :). However we are all better people becuase of your efforts. You are the backbone in all of our lives and we would be nothing without you. You make us all complete and I thank yuo for that.
Now that just might be a little boring BUT I know it is what you love to do. Being the wife and mother that God wants you to be is a very difficult and challenging task - and pleasing the Lord has got to be the furthest thing from boring.
Thank you my dearest.
With love from your best friend.
M!
Did you say that you would like to come to the Valley sometime soon???? You do realize that I live in the Valley!!!!!! Oh that would be so wonderful if you could come this way sometime soon!
I don't find you a boring blogger either! I love to read your posts ~ and I didn't find your post about your father depressing either. It just showed how much you loved your father, and how much you miss him!
Take care my friend! I hope you are having a blessed day! I really should get a letter off to you soon. i am such a procrastinator!!!! LOL!

Now, Ellie! Your blog is NOT boring! It's what they call REAL LIFE! The death of your father is an important anniversary for YOU! I'm so sorry for your loss. it really doesn't matter what other people think about your blog - it's about YOU and YOUR life! Perhaps you could write about what a wonderful support you've been to me since my cancer diagnosis, and how you've been praying for me daily, and how you've been such a devoted commenter (is that even a WORD??) on my blog! You've sure made a difference in MY life in the past couple of months! Don't underestimate yourself, Ellie! Honestly! You are a wonderful woman with a big heart and you are just who God wants you to be! I used to think my blog was boring, and now I think it's depressing because all I seem to talk about is cancer this and cancer that. It's my life right now and if somebody doesn't want to read about that they move to the next blog. Just remember that your blog is snippets of YOUR life. It's YOUR life - not anybody else's or what anybody else wants - it's YOURS! Thank you for your love, kindness and support - you have no idea what it has meant to me! xoxo
