Strange to have writer’s block about my little homeschool cyber-journal. But there it is! I think it’s because I have been saying basically the same things every day, which is boring even to me …. must be VERY boring to read! Trying to get past that…. because it IS nice to look back on what [...]
After I got sick last week, I had to make an emergency trip to the dentist on Wednesday and then drive to town for a root canal on Thursday. I still have not recovered from whatever it was that brought me low last week. So we did not get to everything on our list… to [...]
I had several phone calls to make on this morning and in the afternoon Aidan had an appointment in town, so it was an errand day. We did have pancakes! Karen E has some wonderful Lenten posts and links. Maybe you can tell this will be a scattered post — like my brain right now [...]
