If you’ve perused my blog then hopefully you have seen the post on my homekeeping journal inspired by Ann’s. Now, Ann has a new post up actually leading the reader through how to make one’s own visual journal…it is just lovely and inspiring–like the woman herself. Please go take a look. And while you are there take a look around Ann’s beautiful blog and be inspired and encouraged. She has a gift that must be shared.

I have finally moved all my post over from my old blog…unfortunately I don’t know how to put them in a separate “archive” page. So they are here in a backward chronological order. To find my actual recent posts (those written here originally over the past few weeks you’ll have search fpor them…sorry:-(
And Please don’t forget Tasha Tudor Day on August 28th…please visit Clarice at Storybook Woods for your own sidebar picture (which I don’t have because I can’t figure out how to add it to my sidebar).

A recent message has led our family to the attention of a group of webslueths who are concerned with the disappearance of one Anna Waters. It seems that young Anna went missing as a toddler and has not been found. Furthermore, through a bit of our own sluething we have found that it would appear that some of my personal ramblings have fueled the thinking of some that I might be Anna.
First, I must state that my heart goes out to any parent that either has, or might have, gone through the loss of a child. I can only imagine what I might feel if anything were to happen to any of my own children. As such, my prayers go out to the members of Anna’s family.
Secondly, and most importantly, I must let everyone know that I know I am not Anna. I have seen the site “Reunite Anna” and just to let you know…I have blue eyes and no dimples. I do know from whence I have come and of my mother, father and siblings…warts and all. There is a past, there is a history…there is family. As stated, my own personal ramblings may have peaked some interest in me but these ramblings as simply the result of a young woman, mother and wife seeking to understand who she is, what makes her who she is…in the light cast by the grace and beauty of God upon my life. While these ramblings may seem strange or coincidental to some, they serve a purpose. They allow me to know and to be known by God and my Lord Jesus Christ…the posting of these musings were intended to share with my friends and family what I have learned and the grace and mercy exhibited to me.
Finally, I must add that the focus and time spent by websleuths trying to decipher my musings and images appearing on my husband’s website is a bit disconcerting…As such, I must state again that I am not Anna and that I am sorry for the loss experienced by Anna’s family. This said, I would ask that you please refrain from posting my musings on Websleuths, looking for clues in my writings or husbands images or elsewhere.
And to the person who zeroed in on my choice of the word “purloined” in a previous post…it refers to a family incident when a written copy of my family’s geneaology was stolen from my grandmother…please don’t read more into my posts than what is there.

In memory of Tasha Tudor, famed author and illustrator, August 28, 2008 has been declared Tasha Tudor Day. She has been a beloved fixture on our bookshelves since we started homeschooling. We have many of her books but Corgiville Fair and A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson (illustrated by Tasha) are two of our favorites. Her entire life enbodied a simpler, gentler way. Her stories, painted so delightfully, wove magical tales of corgis and children and family and love. So, please, won’t you join us with a cup of tea, a stroll in the garden or a reading of one of her many books as we remember a delightful woman and her life.
And if you’d like to join in by posting the above picture please visit Storybook Woods and let Clarice know
Coram Deo,
Lola
