It is a cookbook about designing your own granola bar recipes using a basic template. It's an amazing cookbook, and you will be pleased with the results of the product you make. It's been a family favorite for years!<br />

I am looking for a good car, and am willing to trade it!<br /><br />I also am still working at the Dairy, and I am getting stronger, and more confident!<br /><br />I spend most of my time on FaceBook, where I communicate with friends, and family! I will be getting on here, from time to time, while I have a computer!<br /><br />My life has changed quite a bit! I now am a free thinking, heretical christian girl. I have a belief that we are now seated in the heavenly places in Christ, that works do not save you, and that Revelation applies to the Distruction of Jerusalem! There, now you know why I am a heretic! Hallelujah!

Just wanted to keep you all up to date, as to what I have been doing, since my last post!<br /><br />3 weeks ago, I got a job working for a dairy farmer and his family. I am currently living at home with my family, not yet moved out, as I have no car, and the dairy is right down the road, within walking distance. It is hard work, and I am grateful to have the work!<br /><br />I decided to stay home with my parents at present, until I can get a car or a vehicle so that I can ride to town and back.<br /><br />I covet your prayers, as I get tired easily, and my back hurts. I am losing weight, and losing inches off of my hips and waist, as well as building muscles. I like it, especially when I walk to work.<br /><br />Keep you up to date, soon as possible!<br /><br />In Christ,<br /> Perennial PioneerLaura H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00544350615848024766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125119401169090920.post-30803506358529149862009-01-14T10:10:00.000-08:002009-01-14T10:24:47.080-08:00Letting Jesus Shine in 2009!Greetings to you all, this fine 2009! Many things have taken place since writing here last! First off, we sold the Munchbar business to a good christian family!<br /><br />Next, in July, I went to stay with my aunt and uncle for three months. I spent time with my married sister and family, and helped with Vacation Bible School, helping with a yard sale, and then went to Silverwood Amusement Park! My brother in law had me try shooting a gun for the first time, and my aunt took me out driving many times, and helped me with my new wardrobe. I helped out with helping my brother in law get more of his house done.<br /><br />In October, after returning home, I resumed my job of taking care of my grandparents, who are in need of assistance! They are doing well, as well as can be expected for being older, and needing care.<br /><br />Time went by, and my family got into an investing program, and then we got ready for Thanksgiving. My family has been very good this past while!<br /><br />In December, I entered into a courtship, with a young man from Wisconsin, but it didn't last long. I didn't feel a connection, which is supposed to happen, when you meet your potential mate. My sister Sarah and her husband, came over for Christmas, and brought my nephew with them. We spent a week of visiting, while Clay built a handicapped ramp, off the front of our porch.<br /><br />In 2009, this year promises to be a good one! First off, my sister Becca's husband is going to be leaving for Montana, to fight fires. She will have no one to stay with her, so she asked me to stay with her for the Summer. Then, after that, a friend of mine would like me to come and stay with her, until she gets married! I hope that it will work out for her!<br /><br />This year, I intend to be a light for Jesus, in whatever I do!<br /><br />Until next time,<br /> The Perennial PioneerLaura H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00544350615848024766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125119401169090920.post-12396256425686408572008-01-23T10:17:00.000-08:002008-01-23T10:18:05.663-08:00The Birth of a cookbook!It's Here!

George Austen, and his wife, Cassandra Leigh. A revolutionary authoress, Jane Austen, wrote a series of comic/novels that sparked a change in her own world and impacting us even today, a hundred years later. The seventh of eight children, she was impetuous and full of life. When she was 12 she started writing short juvenilia. At 21, she commenced writing that endearing story, Sense and Sensibility, of three sisters: Elinor, Marianne and Margaret Dashwood. (Austen Leigh,pp. 10) (Pemberly, Her Childhood)<br /> The stories continued to flow from her very being. Her novels became composites of her own life and dreams. For instance, her alleged romance with a Tom LeFroy inspired her various heroes and cads: the proud Mr. Darcy, the wily George Wickham, the charming cad Willoughby and the reserved Col Brandon. Her brief affair with Tom LeFroy was a speculated one, for no one knows to the extent she took the romance. Tom LeFroy wanted to marry her, but his family didn't approve, because she<br />was a poor young lady. So, he soon stepped out of her life, and went on to be Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.(Smith,paragraph 9)<br /> Austen's mother (while she herself married for love) inspired the character of Mrs. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice as she strongly desired that Jane and her sister, Cassandra, marry wealthy men. (Pemberley)<br /> A true romantic, the core of Jane's stories always carried the theme of her characters having trouble and tribulation, and having an unpredictable ending! (Pemberley)<br /> She wrote stories that pictured the central female character who was independent-minded and witty, yet who still needed her man. Her writings reflected her own ideal woman. (Pemberly)<br />The culture of the time she lived in, is expressed in the following paragraph:<br />Edith Lank says, “Remember that it was a fairly small and constricted world Jane Austen lived in: England's population was less, and further limited by the fact that she's writing about only one class, the lower gentry. Transportation was also limited, and the people she writes about go to the same places for the most part,<br />and the men attend the same university. It's likely that people ran into acquaintances of acquaintances all the time. (Lank) <br /> She is known to be one of the many publicly well known woman who didn't use a male pseudonym.(Kaplan) Before h er time, female authors wrote with male pen names to avoid notoriety and persecution. <br />For example, the Bronte Sisters went by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The<br />pseudonyms of the Bronte sisters were not known until after the deaths of her<br />two older sisters, when Charlotte made it known it was her sisters who wrote the books. Louisa May Alcott wrote some of her thrillers under a male pen name. (Andrew J.) <br /> There is Mary Ann Evans who wrote her vastly popular books under a masculine penname of George Eliot. (Amrevus)<br /> “Emily Bronte (1818-1848) used a male pseudonym Ellis Bell for her first publication- a work of poetry authored jointly with her sisters Charlotte and Anne. Her sisters used the pseudonyms "Currer Bell" and "Acton Bell" for that occasion. Her novel Wuthering Heights appeared in 1847 and her sisters' first novels, Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Anne's Agnes Grey, were published in the same year. Emily Bronte died, at the age of 30, in 1848.” (Brock) <br /> Secondarily, she is noted for her lively, witty romantic themes that were on the brink of the Romantic Era on the waining heals of the Enlightenment. (Julie, Enlightenment) Her stories departed from the Gothic romantic style of writing.<br /><br /> M.H. Abrams says, "The Gothic novel, or "Gothic romance" . . . flourished through the early nineteenth century. Authors of such novels set their stories in the medieval period, often in a gloomy castle replete with dungeons, subterranean passages, and sliding panels, and made plentiful use of ghosts, mysterious disappearances, and other sensational and supernatural occurrences; their principal aim was to evoke chilling terror by exploiting mystery, cruelty, and a variety of horrors. The term"gothic" has also been extended to denote a<br />type of fiction which lacks the medieval setting but develops a brooding atmosphere of gloom or terror, represents events which are uncanny, or macabre, or melodramatically violent, and often deals with aberrant psychological states. (adapted from A Glossary of Literary Terms)(Abrams)<br /> Authors like Charlotte Bronte, the author of Jane Eyre, were Gothic writers. Dark and foreboding, they spoke of the ghosts, romance, and many sinister things.<br /> Miss Austen was considered a radical for writing things that were not publicly expressed or were considered a disgrace to talk about openly. Such things affairs, intrigues, seductions, and other scandalous topics that were not proper for a lady to discuss.<br /> “Austen’s talents, uniquely suited to her subject, her realm and sense of comedic in human nature reveals her techneques. Judged as superb in delineation of character, control the point of view, and ironic tone. Although she chose as her subject the people she knew best, she illuminated in their characters the follies and failings of men and women of all times and classes.”(Bomarito) <br /> Her stories, written with satire, light humor, and wit, spoke of a woman being content with who she was yet was fully aware she desired a man to provide her with comfort and companionship.<br /> Jane Austen saw four out of her six books published before she died July 18th, 1817 at 41 years of age. Some speculate that she died of a broken heart. Others suggest that it was Addison’s Disease or breast cancer. Her nephew, James Edward Austen Leigh, attended the funeral in the place of his father who was ill. He later wrote of his Aunt Jane's life, from the recollections from his Aunt Cassandra. (Pemberly) <br /> Because Jane Austen departed from the accepted norm for women and all writers in her day, others have had courage to follow in her footsteps. She set the cornerstone for many female writers to write using their own name and their own style. Oddly enough, some men who write nowadays use a female alias. Though women still write with using a pen name, it is more likely because they like the sound of the name better than their own. (Amrevis)<br /> We have Jane Austen to thank for bringing us out of the dark, sinister Gothic<br />(De Vore) writing style to a more witty, fun even sassy style that is still relished by readers to this day. Her easy writing style seems to pull you into the pages of the story to live in Jane's world.<br /> And last but not least, Jane became a forerunner for all women authors. Her example gave women courage to take their place in a traditionally man's world with both humility and success.(Amrevis)<br /> <br /> People today, women mostly, adore Austen's works. Not only do they speak to the romantic heart of their lives, they also desire to have a Mr. Darcy, a Mr. Knightley, Mr. Bertram, etc. These strong men, were always the subject of the conversations that were held with all Austen fans. We search for men like that nowadays! Her influence in our lives has caused us to set a higher standard within ourselves, and in the people with whom we come in contact.<br /><br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br />Work Cited<br />Abrams, M.H.

I need an artist, someone who can draw, or do some painting, or computer designing very well! Do you(or know someone who could) do it? <br /><br /><br /> The reason I am asking this, is I am wanting to put a cover on the front of my book I am wanting to publish, and I need attractive, but beautifully done art. <br /><br /><br /> The story is about a young girl coming from Spain to live with her grandparents in early Plymouth.

I am asking you to lift up your voices to Heaven, as you put them in prayer, to God and Jesus!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>----------------------------------------------</div><br /><div><em><strong>Here is what she wrote me:</strong></em></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Six children are without a mother tonight, and a man without his beloved wife. My dear friend, Beverly, only 46, went to Heaven this morning after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. She was believing for a miracle, and truly she received the Ultimate Healing. Her last prayer request before she slipped into a deep sleep was that she would be singing, and leaping, and praising God really soon. Wow, how God honored that one! We have no doubt that she is doing just that right now!<br />However, her family is beyond devastated. She home-schooled the children up until about a month ago. I still have e-mails in my inbox from her from just a short time ago. I'm still not able to fully grasp that I will not see her again on this earth.<br />They had moved away a few years ago, but she requested to be buried here at "home". The next few days will be extremely difficult and emotional. I don't know if I can bear to look into the faces of her little children. I'm afraid I will fall apart right there in front of them. Please pray for all of us who loved her. Thanks so much.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><br /><div>Let us lift up our voices to Heaven for Beverly's family, as they experience this tragic loss!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Perennial Pioneer</div>Laura H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00544350615848024766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125119401169090920.post-59061905428745333302007-09-13T05:23:00.000-07:002007-09-14T15:49:12.962-07:00Support Mike Huckabee!Everyone, I would like you to consider Mike Huckabee as our next Commander in Chief.

I will be accessable through my email, but I need the break, from all of my blogs!<br />I will write you about my first days, after the last Day of September! I need this break, for I am getting emotional about school, and household things! So, taking a break is going to be good for me! Please pray for me, as I continue to work and prepare for school! I am scared!<br />Have a great week, and a month of September! I will post once in a great while, maybe a quicky on Hines Family Homestead, about Gabriel and such, but that is about it! And I look forward to reading your articles and such!<br />If any of you have questions about joining Mayden Fair, contact me or any number of the maydens writing, and they will tell me. I will send an invite, and leave it up to you! We would love to have you!
