Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

Pretty

I planted a garden this year and surprisingly, most of the things in it are still alive. There were supposed to be flowers from seeds in it, but the day after I planted them, a tornado came by and washed them away. There are probably two shasta daisies in there. I lost one so got another and the original is decomposing somewhere under ground.



Happy

Since our van exploded, we've been looking for a second car because it's really useful when Dad has to have the car pretty much any time of the day or night. (Go here for the van story: http://hannah-ingleside.blogspot.com/2012/06/pretty-happy-funny-real.html; It's near the bottom.)


The son of a lady in church had owned this truck for a long time and wanted to get a new one. He gave this one to Dad. Dad's pretty happy to have it.

Funny



A friend of ours is a farmer and he always digs up rocks in his fields and he keeps the rocks in a pile. He gave us a present of some of the rocks for gardens and the like. (Almost like the family that gave us a truck load of horse manure. It was for our gardens.)

Real


(Lydia and some kids from Malawi.)


(Shaanthi and some kids from Malawi.) (By the way, her name is pronounced "shawn-tea".)

Lydia and Shaanthi went to a missions trip to Malawi this summer. Lydia's gone before, but Shaanthi's never gone on a missions trip anywhere, but we went to the same church as both of them, so that probably helped both of them a little. (Lydia looks like a ghost in that picture. She's not really that pale. Haha. Shaanthi is of India-Indian descent.)
