My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
Note: M tells me I got some of the details wrong. I was combining the stories of a few different words. We did 10 this morning. Me: How many syllables are in the word mother (holding my hand below my Continue reading SWR Dication – with lots of interruptions
Last week Dan was in North Carolina testing parts for several companies. His favorite part of the trip was as toss up between the stuffed brook trout at the Peak City Grill in Apex. and the friendly people he worked Continue reading I Can’t Blog When I have Secrets
I can mail this out again after I’ve apologized to most of the co-op and regained some cred. This year’s first day of co-op was trying. We are adding a board now, a co-ordinator is not enough. (That means it’s Continue reading The Semi-Annual Peace at co-op Letter

We decided to can the Brown Bag Game Day theme (no one was able to come after the first one, I’m not sure if August is too busy a month or if Ben’s introverted Mom throws boring parties.) So I Continue reading Demarest Lloyd State Park
I’ve organized it. Next time, I’m making a composed salad?
