The pears are good. Your brothers helped can a lot of them for Dad's lunches.

Woops! Good point. Seeing as I've hardly blogged in the last year, guess I got behind on that. I just recently updated Learning Resource Directory's, though! But I will try to fix this one, too. It needs attention.

Lovely post. I was at a Bible conference in Kaiapoi a few weeks ago and we were taught on Joseph's life, which included Genesis 38, the story of Judah and Tamar. It's a really interesting one to study. :)
By the way, you're 'About' page is slightly out of date! You have no sisters?! ;)

Family time is really special. And the photo shoot sounds like fun! I'll have to see if you've posted pictures on your blog yet. :)

Usually it is just our family, spending time together and talking, or listening to another sermon or talk on some bible topic. But this Sunday I actually did a photo shoot for a christian lady and it was really fun, I normally try not to do photo shoot on Sunday but this one was so laid back and when I wasn't taking photos we are talking about God and faith and stuff, and the lady had Bell Thompson music playing the whole time which just made it even more lovely.

Well, that is a good question! (first time on your blog by the way!) Probably in my purse. I have very large, roomy purses so I can cart everything I THINK I need. What ends up happening is I get a weird collection of random stuf. For instance I recall a fork, plumbing parts and a bag full of cross-stitching. All together. So random!

Cold is right! But it was so worth cold fingers and noses to be able to see all the beauty.

Hi Esther! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing Diamonds. I appreciate your honesty about disliking the romantic aspect; thanks for saying what you did about the history that sparked the idea for me :)

Beside the romance, it was a great story. And in this case, it was pretty much believable, and there's nothing wrong with their ages.

I suppose people write what they enjoy reading, and that's okay with me. Everyone has a right to do what they want to do with their books. :)

2015-08-29T19:14:13.442+12:00

I wan't to read this book, I know how you feel about the romance and all that, sometimes I wish they could just leave it all out. And so often it is all so unrealistic, or the age of the characters...
