Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Dining Out in November

As part of a plan to reduce our restaurant expenditures, my family and I have established the following schedule for dining out in November:

11/3/2006: Pizza night
11/5/2006: Sunday lunch
11/10/2006: Dinner after homeschool field trip to MA
11/12/2006: Sunday lunch
11/13/2006: Dinner with friends
11/17/2006: Pizza night
11/19/2006: Dinner after Fiddler on the Roof
11/24/2006: Tree tagging lunch
11/25/2006: Lunch while on homeschool field trip to CT shoreline
11/26/2006: Sunday lunch

If we spend $30-$40/meal, our November total for restaurant dining should be $300-$400, an amount well below that of recent months.

Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established. --- Proverbs 16:3 NASB
