Today we took a road trip to the Blackville healing springs with grandma. She is 82 years old and the most awesome lady in the world.

I have heard stories of people drinking the water and being healed from cancers and of course the story of the british soldiers. My great grandma would only drink this water and she lived to be 93 years old. My own personal experience is there must be something to it. I had a small cut on my arm and I held my arm under the water today and by the time we got home the little cut was gone. There is still a small mark there you can tell I had a cut but its just gone. While we werethere a couple and their small baby stopped in and the mom knelt by the spring and took water and rubbed her baby with it and dad filled baby bottles with the water and them several milk jugs as well. I wanted to ask if the baby was ill, but decided not to. Another man in a neck brace came in while were there and filled a laundry basket full of 2 liter pepsi bottles with the water. Alot of people believe in the miracle of this place and this water. Id be curious to know just how far people travel to get this water.. have you ever made the trip? Do you havea story about the spring or the water?

Just around the corner from the healing spring is a Mennonite school. Calvary Mennonite school, and according to this site click here There are only 8 students in the school.. The school teaches grades k-10 one teacher for all 8 kids. I wonder if anyone can go to the school or if it can only be menonites. I think Id prefer my children go to a small school with 8 menonite children that publc or even private school in my area. But thats just me being over protective again i guess.

We had hoped to eat at Miller's bread Basket,

it is one of only 3 resturaunts in the town and is an amish-Mennonite restuarant ran for 20 years by a local mennonite family. But it closes at 2 on staturday so we opted for "Dukes BBQ" which is only open on saturday and sunday and only serves tea and water to drink. It was still good eating and a taste of small town living I guess.

We all enjoyed our visit and intend to go again. What did you do today?

I took some pictures that I will post later. But I hadn't update recently so I wanted to do that..

no comments ever

Ok, so Im just going to throw this out there. No one comments me. I hae had maybe 5 comments ever and Im not sure what Im doing wrong. So maybe you guys could enlighten me. Do I have cooties?? Is it my breathe? What can I do different to make people want to comment me more?

check out this great little DIY project I found online this morning. Another thing to add to my "to do" list. The list is getting long. Have you made this? How did it turn out? any tips or ideas yu want to share? Today's project will be windchimes. The kids and I will scavange around the house and see what fun things we can come up with to make windchimes.So far im thinking spoons might be a neat thing to use in a windchime. People play spoons as musical imstruments so the clinky clanky sound of spoons will be perfect. Here is one I found online, and we can add glitter. Glitter makes everything better, and some clear sparkly beasd to something like this and it will be fabulous.

Ohhh or this is nice too. Not sure what kind of sound it would make but check it out they used the sink plugger thingy.. how cool and recyley is that?

how pretty is this one?

here is a splendid crystal windchime I found on etsy.. I doubt ours will be this wonderful but if anyone wanted to buy me a gift.. This just made top of my wishlist..

Do you have ideas on what we can use to make some beautiful windchimes to go in our child friendly everything is touchable garden?

I find windchimes to be so calming Im pretty excited about this project.

But next on the project list will have to be this little feeder. Its too cute not to make.

So these are on our agenda, windchimes and a bird feeder. If you have any suggestions, ideas, tips, or tricks to offer please post them. Its great to let kids have a free spirit and try things and enjoy creating without limits. But as a parent its also good to go into a project with some kind of rough sketch in your mind of what you are trying to accomplish and what obstacles you might meet on the journey. Havea great sunday all. See ya back here later.
