May 13. Praise the Lord for some rain during the night and sunshine again today. This morning it was back to school. Dallas was late because he overslept, and then took time to fix himself some breakfast (I don’t blame him) before coming up to school. In Bible class, we reviewed John 7:38, and then started learning it in Pidgin. Finished the lesson we had started last week and had a little time for questions. They had some good questions about keeping the law and the sabbath. They will have a quiz tomorrow. The new music lesson was on pitch. Wish the keyboard were working so they could get some experience learning to play. But maybe sometime. When we finished the lesson, we had time to sing “Olsem Wanem?” twice. Math class was pretty much entirely review. English class was review too with a worksheet to do. We did review in science also, and they had a quiz, and afterward started reading the next part of unit 1. After school, Dallas chopped up some small pieces of firewood for kindling; and then he went home, and we had our nap. After nap, I put eggs on to boil for egg salad sandwiches this evening. Erased the chalkboard and wrote some sentences on it for English practice tomorrow. Then I transferred some photos to the computer, photos that I took while Daddy was gone and had almost forgotten about them. Daddy took the computer into the schoolroom, got a good connection which brought in eleven junk e-mails plus two other e-mails and also sent out the pictures that I had in the outbox. Praise the Lord for answered prayer in getting better connections these days. We certainly don’t need all those junk e-mails though. I wonder why we are getting so many. The evening was busy, and my feet are hurting. Right after supper, I got busy making soup. Broke up dried mushrooms and put them in the pressure cooker, along with some water so they could start soaking. Added a half cup red lentils. Scrubbed, peeled, and cut up four kaukau and added that to the pot. Peeled, cut up, and added the rest of the giant pumpkin that we had been using in portions. Added more water, as well as butter, herbs, and seasoning, lit the burner, and set the pot on the burner. Then I lit another burner and set the kettle of water on it to heat for washing dishes. Had a few minutes to sit down before the dish water got hot, and started working on the April progress report. After doing the dishes, there was printing to do. In the middle of one printing project, I had to change the ink cartridge on the laser printer. Then the bath water was hot so took my bath. Thankful for a warm evening which made the bath more enjoyable. After bath, I had a snack, and then got back to work on the progress report, and worked on it for the rest of the evening. May 14. Not as much sunshine today. Cool and rainy in the afternoon. Skies cleared off in the evening, and the house cooled down quickly. This morning, there was time for me to finish the progress report while the students were doing independent work. Also had time to plan tomorrow’s lessons. In the afternoon, I erased the chalkboard and wrote math review and teaching exercises on it. Typed out an English quiz and a science quiz, ready to be printed out in the evening. After supper, I pureed and bottled the soup, and even enjoyed drinking a cupful that was leftover in the blender. Put water on to heat for washing dishes. Then I printed the English and science quizzes. While I was doing dishes, Daddy got in e-mails, and another e-mail with pictures went off to Christy and Connie. Praise the Lord! When the dishes were done, I read the e-mails that came in. Then I put the progress report in an e-mail, wrote a short note to Pastor Ogle, and put that e-mail in the outbox to be sent next time. Proofread and printed a Sunday school lesson and a couple pages of memory verses to go with it. Then had a sponge bath. “I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel….” Psalm 16:7a
