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?
Last week when it was still hot enough to want to wear long sleeves under a tee shirt, K asked for George Washington’s breakfast, as laid out in the picture book by Jean Fritz. Only I was out of cornmeal, so Continue reading Last week it was cold – not today
My family attended an “Ugly Holiday Sweater New Years Eve Party” where the hostess gave me her two huge totes of left over yarn from when she decided that knitting was not for her – I feel so rich! Thank Continue reading Collaborating With K, a cross post with Christine Guest Designs
Dan and I got up to the session on insurance at Financial Peace university – Oh boy, that last video montage was a tear jerker. I’m not sure where all the papers are, though I think I know how many Continue reading We interrupt yesterday’s panic list with new projects

It was the early ’80s. My Grandparents had just moved back to the States from Beirut. They were missing the congregation they had been pastoring, especially the nursing students from the university.
