Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Joanne and I’ve been blogging for many years under the name The Simple Wife (you can see all of my old posts under the archives or by clicking on any of the categories that interest you). I love receiving comments from you and try to respond to each one personally. I hope you’ll visit often!
Preparing to speak at Galilee Baptist Church next Tuesday
So I'd best get back to it, but just wanted to pop in and say hello. Hope you're having a great day!

Hi Joanne,
I thought I would share with you and everybody who reads this blog that today is Diwali,which is the biggest festival of Indians and is celeberated all over the world. It is the festival to mark the victory of good over evil. We clean our house, make sweets and worship the almighty for a new and happy beginning of another year.
"Happy Diwali"
Regards,
Priti
Joanne,
Just a note of encouragement to say that I went ahead and starting reading to my son, Elijah, today. I didn't want to start tackling a big book and this not work out for my family. So, we started with a smaller chapter book. His required breakfast eating went down with much less whining and "carrying on". He wants to keep it up and so do I.
Thanks for the good advice!

Yep, I celebrated Deepavali/Diwali on Monday! It was truly awesome! My friends and other relatives came over in the evening and we had a great time! Hope yours went well, Priti! =)
The picture is so cozy - the written in Word, a journal, a hand painted mug and the laptop on a wood table... May the Lord grant you wisdom and knowledge as you seek Him.
