Susanna's Sayings

Susanna and Elisabeth have been working on memorizing the books of the Bible as a part of their school every morning. Susanna has come up with a few interesting comments lately: The girls were trying to remember the order of some children in a friend's family, and Elisabeth said, "Wendy, Regina, Joshua.....uh....Joshua....." and Susanna completed it triumphantly with, "Joshua, Judges, Ruth!" Another time, Elisabeth started wailing, "Susanna hit me......on purpose!" Susanna replied, "No....it was an Exodus!" (meaning accident) Susanna is not the only one that says funny things; We adults, still goof up plenty in Spanish. Everyone got a good laugh the other day when we said that a friend of ours, who had chicken pox, was covered in hail stones (granisos), instead of a rash (granitos).

dear betsy and gordon, this is louise digennaro,, from long ago! just found your blog and assume that you at least occasionally have internet access.. we only have the 2 youngest at home now but since they so enjoyed your cat tails yrs ago they really enjoyed seeing your update and pics of the kids. so good to have this method of showing your life..a pic is worth a 1000 words,and i feel like i just visited you there, which of course is a great stimulus to prayer.. know that we are praying.,

Gordon and Betsie,

It's so fun to "see" you from across the miles! The children are growing so beautifully.
