Having been recommended multiple times from many YouTubers about the author's Ingri and Edgar Parin D'aulaire, I have been looking up their various titles. These have been published so long ago that their copyrights are expired, which means they are in the public domain and many are accessible on archive.org. So far I have read Pocahontas, George Washington, and Conquest of the Atlantic.
Also reread where Two Ways Meet by Grace Livingston Hill.
Plus still working on Tactics and Happy Lies. And started How to Study the Bible by John MacArthur.
We finally got our replacement car. It needed brakes and tires. And of course it will get Bryanized!
Midas told me months ago--I wish I remember exactly when--that my differential was going to freeze up. We found and bought a replacement rear end and agonized over the options for which mechanic shop or ourselves we could use to put it in. Meantime, I just kept driving it, and it kept just on going.
Until yesterday!
Of course I was on a delivery. Of course it was in heavy traffic. If course Bryan was working so not available to rescue me. But also very close to safe places to pull off and be found and keep busy while help arrived. I texted Melissa immediately, wondering if she could get there fast enough to get the food delivered reasonably soon. And running through my mind who else I could call that might be able to help.
Suddenly, my friend Brenda from church called me which is super unusual. Amazingly, she was driving down the same road behind me, and aw me go by and put on my Hazzard lights, and followed me right into the parking lot I pulled off into!! She was a godsend! She graciously drove up the road for me to deliver the food before it was tined out and then took me home where I retrieved my back up car!
God took care of me again!!
Later Nathan looked at it, hoping he could drive it home, but to no avail. Bryan came after work at midnight and very gingerly babied it and incredibly got it all the way home into our driveway!! We're calling him the Blazer whisperer!
Now we're forced to make the final decision to do the work ourselves or bite the bullet and pay someone!
Or we have to buy another car so I can keep working.
Well, my stack of want to reads is getting bigger way faster than my finished reading stack!
I made short work of the last two volumes of Jeanette Oke's series in between bouts of tackling the Holocaust, New Thought, and apologetics. Winter is Not Forever and Springs Gentle Promise were much less familiar to me. I'm sure I must have read them in the past, but especially the last one set in the Dust Bowl era I don't remember really at all. And I feel it's one of the best in the series -- I'm torn between it and the first!
Also read 50 Famous Stories Retold and started the Railway Children.
