So what if it's COLD!

It doesn't stop us. As long as nothing is falling from the sky, I said, we will go.

Place: Carriage Hill Farm 1880's

Where: Dayton area Ohio

When: Feb 1, 2010

Who: Boyer girls with Persing girls, Honor and Mercy

Why: Field trip. To see wonderfully big white horses at the trough, climb up in a hay mow, look over a bridge to a frozen creek, dream of having a barn like this one, and of course have another opportunity to wear 18880's style dresses with bonnets.

Winter @ Hocking Hills

Impressive. Not too cold, but enough to keep the water frozen.

How do you know?

IF you have a male and female dove?

Wait for one of them to lay an egg.

Lamberts

If you know this name you'll be happy to know we have NEW NEIGHBORS! Yahoo. Welcome the Dave and Tina Lambert family to Dayton Ohio. They are currently living in an area of Dayton which is about 45 minutes from us. Not a stones throw, but close enough. It is so exciting they moved here from Oregon. We had the pleasure to share Christmas dinner with them at our home. It was so great to reconnect and find that through the recent years God has kept both our families on the straight and narrow with so many similar interests and goals. We praise HIM this season for one of the nicest blessings.

Dig a little deeper

Ok! So we're not snowed in, but it's enough to have fun playing around in.

Guess who? The most daring daughter I know who would allow her sisters to actually "bury" her in the snow. I believe it's about 15 degrees outside as well!

Christmas dresses

Regency strikes again. I made more Regency style dresses for the girls. Special request Christmas presents! What shimmery fun. Here they are practicing a hymn for a Christmas dinner party performance.

Here is a letter written to the President by our daughter Charlotte:

Dear Mr. President,

I write this letter to ask that you will not sign this "Health Care Bill" into law.

I understand it could cause a great impact on many poor families, because they might not be able to afford such a thing, and they could go to jail because they could not purchase it. With the utmost respect I ask that you think about others, and not about all the money that could come in.

I end this letter with one last thing; please always remember this while you are President. As it says on our money, "In God we trust."

You are in my and my church's prayers.

Sincerely, Charlotte Kathleen Boyer
