The pink Cake

The pretty table

I had a beautiful Valentines day! My grandma sent me a beautiful box of Russel Stover Chocolates. The box was so beautiful! I remember playing with her old beautifully decorated Valentines boxes when I was little. My Mom and Dad also sent me some candy and a cute card. We girls decided to have a Valentines Party. It was so awesome. We had a candle-light tea party. We made a heart-shaped cake, no-bake cookies, and tea. Mercy, Meadow, Rashida, and our friends, Clara and Audrey Henningsen were our guests. After our tea party we watched "Ever After." We definitely had a very girly party, dressing up pretty, and wearing princessy tiaras!

Good Morning

Good Morning All. I just finished my breakfast and breakfast clean-up. It is a beautiful chilly day here. I am listening to pretty music coming from the piano/keyboard. In a little while, I need to go down and go to work. Anyway, have a Great, Glorious, Grateful, day!

More Shabbat Pictures

Now we are ready to wash the Dishes

L-R- Lindsey, Lauren, Me, and Chloe dressed nicely for Shabbat Meal.


Mr. Campbell Blessing the Lord for the Bread

Just to clarify, we do have church services on Sunday, not Saturday, but we don't do much major work around here on Saturday. Sunday seems to usually be a pretty busy day, sometimes going into town for church, and other things.

Friday Night Shabbat Meal

The Table

Friday night we had Shabbat meal here at the Campbell's. They had been gone for a couple of weekends, so it was nice to have it. Friday is Preparation Day around here, much like the Jews do. We girls helped Mrs. Campbell clean the house well in the afternoon. Then in preparation for Supper, we dressed in nice clothes. The table was set beautifully with a white lace tablecloth and candles. Also gracing the table, were two loaves of bread under a beautiful cloth, and a glass pitcher of grape juice. Shabbat always starts out with the Lady of the House lighting the candles, and then the Man of the House, blesses the bread, and everyone holds up their glass of grape juice, and he blesses those too. Then Mr. Campbell read Proverbs 31, and blessed his wife and his Son, John who was here, as well as us girls! Mrs. Campbell had prepared a lovely yummy meal of chicken wings, ginger curry rice with carrots, salad, and cabbage. After supper, Scripture reading, and prayer, we girls soon put on our aprons and did the dishes. I love Friday and Shabbat meal!
