LOL! We have friends who are back here from being missionaries in Africa. Their 13 year old boy said, "Oh you have flies here in America too!" :o) It is so fun to see them discover things for the first time! Thanks so much for sharing. Teresa
My children read your post and were amazed that your children had never had celery. My 8yo asked why and I told her that you used to live in turkey. Her 6yo brother immediately replied, "Yeh, and all they have there to eat is TURKEY!" Thanks for the laugh today.

New Release
Collected Poems written by Charlotte Mason graduate Bryana Johnson Now available in paperback and KINDLE
"Bryana Johnson's first collection of poetry establishes her as a Christian poet who communicates the gutsy, bleeding beat of life and death...restoring our confidence that there are poets who labor over the word, and who have something to say that the world needs to hear."
- Nathan Harms, Director, Utmost Christian Writers Foundation
"These poems are works of elegance...In a voice both compassionate and compelling, Bryana presents her readers with works that examine what it means to be human and how our very faults and foibles can, in the end, become instruments of grace."
- Wendy Galgan, editor of Assisi
“Then he breathed upon me and took away the trembling from my limbs and caused me to stand upon my feet. And after that, he said not much, but that we should meet again, and I must go further up and further in. Then he turned him about in a storm and flurry of gold and was gone suddenly.
And since then, O Kings and Ladies, I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog-”

ReplyDeleteThey didn't like the celery! Raora took one bite and said, "How do people eat this stuff? It is not fit for human consumption!"
