Wonderful update, and another prayer request

Two weeks ago, I posted about my classmate, Kate. Her cats were very, very ill, but amazingly they have all made a complete recovery! The vet says it’s “miraculous”. So thanks again for your prayers and well wishes.

And if you could, please say a quick prayer for Martin the mouse. The antibiotics for his myco flare-ups have stopped working and he’s going back to the vet on Friday. I don’t know what, if any, our treatment options are. I know he’s ‘just a rodent’, but he’s also one of God’s creatures and I hate to see him doing so poorly.

virtual house tour

Needless to say, there are LOTS of photos here, so dial-up users beware…

This is my home. I love my home. And I’ve tried to capture it in these photos. By the way, I love looking at other people’s homes too, so maybe someone reading this will be inspired *hint*hint* to do their own virtual house tour.

But enough talk, on to the pictures!

Our house from the street:

The wash room – my mom thought DRY US would be a nice reminder for us to put the wet clothes in the dryer. It didn’t work, and two years later, the marker still won’t come off:

The storage room – for the first time in 16 years we actually have a place to put our extra stuff:

Papa’s apartment is in the addition, but so as not to disturb him I didn’t take any photos.

My cousin, who’s thirteen, made this:

His mom painted several of the switchplates around our home:
