A post by Lady T

In the past two weeks I've babysat Linky-dude and his sisters four times. It has been slightly difficult to get enough school work done on those days, but everybody helps with the keeping of, entertainment of, and care of the trio, and so everything has gone well. Mother introduced Linky-dude to "ponyrides" this week. A definition has been written below for the amusement of the reader.
"Ponyride" - A child's ride to corresponding sound (horse noises, the Lone Ranger song, made up songs, etc.) sitting on an older person (the pony)'s ankle (facing the pony) and holding hands with the same.
Lincoln seems to like ponyrides, so that kept him occupied for a few minutes each ride. Mother notes that she supposes it's probably some kind of exercise for the pony as well!

Other than babysitting, we have kept quite busy with school. School is pretty self explanatory--so that's why Jason's, my family's, and my blogs have all been on the bare side throughout the month of September.

Last Sunday, we went to the Littleton Church of God (Holiness) for church in the morning. It was enjoyable. If you read my family's blog you probably know about Mike D., who has come to see us several times recently. He attends the Littleton CoG(H) and his parents and he invited us to come to church and then have dinner at their house. So that's what we did. We had a great time. Our friends the Cruzes (half of them anyway) also came for church and dinner at the Durkees. After dinner we enjoyed some games of ping-pong. (We used to have a ping-pong table, paddles, and balls, but got rid of it before us littler folks were big enough to really play. Mother used to play a lot growing up, so she got right into it. It was really fun.)

Tomorrow, it looks like we will be having church with the Hobe Sound Bible Church as we do most Sundays, and having Bible study with the Hinkle family here tomorrow night. We look forward to both of those activities with great joy.

Yesterday I had a birthday, and we had some activities around that. I don't want to go into detail since Mother already has on our family blog.  Thank you to those who made it such a special day for me!
