I know it has been quite a while since I last wrote on my blog. Life has been quite busy though so this post will just bring you up to date with all that has been going in my life recently.
At the end of July my family was busy getting our 4-H projects ready for the county fair and about that time also our summer Japanese exchange student arrived. Load on my job as well as getting prepared for classes and then this last week actually starting classes and you have a very busy Lois. Most of it was fun though and though my summer was hectic, it was enjoyable as well.
My favorite part was definitely having Taiki, our exchange student stay. The little 14 year old boy fit in perfectly with my family. By the time he left he had learned and even mastered many of my family's favorite games.
My second favorite part of the summer was probably the county fair. I was smart enough to not do too much but I still entered a few items. I found time to bake a couple pies to take (peach and pecan), which turned out pretty tasty. However, Taiki was quite dissapointed they were going to the fair and not to his stomach so I ended up making a peach pie (his favorite) for him again before he left.
Of course I spent lots of time with my family this summer, which was good. We managed to watch all but one of the Star Wars movies and played multiple games together.
Recently I became addicted to online Dominion (see earlier post about Dominion), which was probably not good. However, when you are feeling a need for Dominion and your family isn't available to play what other options are there?
All in all, a good summer and hopefully this fall semester will be bearable too. God bless. :)
