So, what have I been up to lately? Not housework!!!
Barely getting in a good home-cooked school day!
Speaking of home-cooked? We’ve been living on Kraft Mac’n’Cheese, deli ham, applesauce and peanut butter crackers. Just ran out of yogurt.

One thing I’ve learned is that writing doesn’t take a whole lot of time, but actually researching, formulating and arranging the words to put on the paper is ALL CONSUMING.
AND, I haven’t had so much fun in a long time.
NEWS AT HOME:
Christopher decided that he was going to add a little curb appeal to the house today by ‘cleaning away the dirt’ with the garden hose. Ah! He’s my industrious dude. What I had failed to confirm was exactly what dirt he intended to ‘clean away.’ It turns out that he didn’t like the way that the earth was supporting the root system of the lawn so he used the sprayer to affect about 10,000 years of natural erosion and dump the displaced dirt onto the driveway.
Daddy tracks mud into the house wondering, did it rain?
No, it Chrissed.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Our boat, the 24 ft albatross that’s been perched on our family back, is now out of the water and on display at Banker’s Marine available for purchase.
I think I may confidently concur that the 2 happiest days of a boat-owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it. In case you were wondering.
HOME SCHOOL THIS WEEK:
Well, we’ve completed our Stewardship unit. We have implemented a family recycling program whereby all plastic, paper, cardboard, tin, aluminum and glass are saved for recycling. Got that? Saved for recycling. It’s going to take a dump-truck just to deliver the ‘recyclables’ that we’ve collected to the actual recycling center.
Our neighborhood has trash pick-up two days a week and I’ve managed to cut our landfill bound refuse down by more than half. However, we can no longer walk through our garage.
The last topic of our Stewardship study had to do with Nutrition, Exercise and Rest. We learned about the food groups, talked about exercise and concluded that rest is our favorite subject.
IN WEATHER:
I heard from a reliable source that we’re in for some 90 degree weather this weekend. I need to be cold. I need it badly.
IN CLOSING:
Christmas is not the most wonderful day of the year. The day we move out of Daylight Savings time is the most wonderful day of the year.
