Long Days Go By Quickly

Hi Friends,

It's been quite a long time since updating- more specifically, updating in the fashion I would prefer (with pics and videos and fancy catchy witticisms!) In any case things are well and changing while the same and dependable. How existential ;)

The bakery moves at God's pace and God's pace is slow and steady while fast as lightning (I'm detecting a theme here.) If it is His will we may open by the turn of the New Year.

Brian is working hard (he always has) and the reward is more th status or money but a growing sense of accomplishment in the simple process of being a provider. I am all in favor of that ;)

Finn is talking (and occasionally talking back.) Trains are in and cutesy time is out. Friends, we have a full blown boy on our hands and after finishing John Eldredge's book, Wild At Heart, I am perfectly happy to encourage my boy in his life adventure.

More recently I have joined our Women's Ministry Core at Northstar Vineyard and am patiently experiencing the revelation of my role and what I have to offer to a very strong and devoted group of women. I am blessed to contribute my attention and service to the church of God's women.

The days are shorter here in Lebanon. The weather is still (somehow) warm and football and family are aplenty. We think of you often and pray for you more.

In peace,

Meg

Everything New is Old Again?

What was compost fed a great Summer garden and what was a bountiful Summer garden is now compost. Autumn is by far my favorite season and working the Earth is my favorite way to enjoy it.

I already have big plans for our next garden and perhaps it is with a sense of giddy joy I make this entry!

'Nilla

The cupcake test of the day? 'Nilla! It's simple, classic and hard to do wrong. You should taste this- it is so buttery and creamy! Happily we will be able to share this with everyone soon!

Snack

It's never too early for "Finny Pudding!" (Bad pun I know.)

Cookie Time!

What's nicer than family and cookies on a chilly Winter day? (I'm trying super hard to come up with that answer!) We're gratefully enjoying my sister Amanda's company and trying our hand at caramel filled chocolate chip cookies. Thank God for the gift of company!
