An Unexpected Blessing

What was on yesterday's agenda:
Have a friend join us for breakfast.
Take her to church with us.
Continue the fellowship over lunch at a restaurant.
Stop by the nearby pet store to oogle the pets.

What was NOT on the agenda:
Come home with a new puppy.

Praise God that His ways are not ways.

The kids have been begging us for a second dog for a long time but we've resisted thus far. Yesterday's visit to the pet store changed all that. They spotted a sweet Golden Retriever puppy whose coloring reminded us of our former dog, Oxford. Our resistance melted away, and we were glad to bring her home.


Meet Nutmeg.

We are enjoying the newest student in our homeschool. Her first lesson: how to be housebroken. :-)
