Stolen Meme...

Found this out in cyberworld, and thought I'd play along.

20 Years Ago:
1. Had been married to my hubby for one year, had known him for two
2. began long-distance cycling to help overcome some fears
3. was about to move to Boston!

15 years ago:
1. content wife and a mother of two living in an apartment, where dd had just been born.
2. We had a wonderful midwife
3. Oldest son was a very precocious, smart 2 1/2 yo

10 Years Ago:
1. I turned 32
2. A mother to 4 children, baby turned one year old
3. joined a brand new, small hs support group which has now grown to @250 families

5 Years Ago
1. I turned 37
2. was the secretary, newsletter editor, e-mail list mom, website writer (we kept it simple then), and new homeschool director of said hs group (we had jumped from 60ish to 120+ families, then, if my memory serves me.)
3. We had been at our new church home for one year, after moving on from our old church home of 11.5 years. Also took a big break from singing, both professionally-had done some studio work & sang at a big party or two-and for ministry, for nine months. That means, five years ago, that I was back to singing regularly again.


3 Years Ago
1. Dear Daugther and I had just returned from visiting friends in Italy, where we enjoyed the many fruits of having studied the Renaissance so well the school term before going.
2. I began taking vintage book restoration / preservation classes (or was that four years ago? Time flies).
3. Life was about to hit the teen mood swing roller coaster with one of our dc

1 Year Ago
1. Preparing to help chaperone on our Junior High Back-country camping trip
2. Watched our oldest son take control of his fear of giving speeches. He came so far from that place of being severely nauseated about it to having a decent amount of confidence about it!
3. June: spent a lot of time helping mom, who busted her ankle badly. She is one who likes to stay active, so it was difficult for her having to keep still

So Far This Year
1. Things have smoothed out a lot for our oldest teen and he is blossoming (slowly but surely) into a gentler young man
2. Two of our teens have shown their capacity for using their gifts in front of big groups of people 3. I've been selling older, gently used curriculum and books from our 13 years of home schooling

Yesterday
1. Tree butchers trimmed back some of our large trees from the power lines, so I finished a restoration project for a friend, and shopped for teaching bookbinding classes this summer.
2. I got to use my new marble board (for gluing up the aforementioned project, pictured below), made by Juan, one of hubby's co-worker friends at school.
3. I began teaching my husband Spanish, then he worked on the family bicycles for summer riding.

Today
1. was the last day that I drive my son to Worldviews class. He will drive himself next fall.
2. I have a painful crick in my neck
3. I need to reschedule a doctor's appointment and go grocery shopping

Tomorrow
1. We'll buy supplies for our three teens' summer camp trip
2. I'll de-clutter in my room some more
3. start walking again

In the Next Year
1. Our first-born will graduate from our home school experience
2. I hope to go to the Yucatán again, or at least be able to send a boxful of Classic books in Spanish to the kids there.
3. I'll save money to travel; I'm hoping dh and I get to go back to Germany, this time for a Reformation tour, and to visit a few old friends.

In the Next Minute
1. I will go pour myself a cup of coffee
2. I will start a load of laundry
3. I will unload the clean dishes in the dishwasher


Who will be next? I tag Tootlestime and Mama Squirrel.

Sorry to be late for the party! Maybe I'll do better with this one than the book meme.
