New Friends
Meet Freddy, Frankie and Bertha. They live in our pool. Jessie and I figured since they were so big, they needed names. This was one of the fun things we did today while Sam was at camp. I do not know if these are bullfrogs or green frogs. I am assuming the big one is [...]
Quiet Time Thoughts
Jessie is down for some quiet time. Sam is at camp. Kirby is asleep on the couch. I’m reading over July’s homeschooling assignments and I think I just had an ephphany! (ouch) Mind you, I’ve already done a lot of the foot… err finger work (typing) but I think this will save time in the [...]

Just One Today
Sam has his first day at summer camp today. This is a picture of him canoing for the first time. It was very strange having just one kid today. He’s in the front of the closest canoe. Made me realize just how great a helper Sam is. I need to remember to tell him. On [...]

Estrella Bound
Since Bob has promised our presence at Estrella next year, the planning has begun. I’ve worked up a beginning budget and it seems doable. If we can save $200/mo starting with July, we can do it. We can save that much IF we don’t eat out and IF we adhere to a strict grocery budget. [...]
Happy Anniversary!
Bob and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary today. Huzzah! The actual day isn’t until Tuesday but we had a sitter lined up for today. We ate at a local restaurant that serves wonderful food. They have the most sinful bread there. Deep fried sourdough! OMG! It was sooooo good. The food was delish too [...]

You know those podcasts I found in the wee hours this morning. Well, I burned some of them to CD, the NOVA ones, so we could listen in the car on the way to the Library. Well, one of the podcasts was on Sir Isaac Newton and his interest in alchemy. So what did Sam [...]

Frugal Curriculum
I sat down at the time-warping gadget computer to quickly check email and go to bed. That was 10:30 p.m. … it is now midnight. *sigh* But this is so cool!!!!!!!!!! I stumbled upon a new homeschooling related blog called Homeschooling Journey and thier post on Frugal Curriculum. Yeah, I know. Why look at that [...]

Name Musings
My quandry over a name for my 10th century Danish persona is nothing but worse. At first I liked the name Ithunn (pronunced EYE-thewn with the “th” being aspirated as in “that”.”) Now, I am now so sure. Bob and I had intended to submit new names at Lilies but didn’t get a chance. So [...]

Back from Lilies
We did it! Our first overnight camping trip in years. We arrived Friday evening in time to see the fireworks. It was really hot still and we pretty much just climbed onto (not into) our sleeping bags once camp was set. I was very itchy and worried that I wouldn’t make it through the night [...]
Packing Up
Today will be spent packing everything (including the kitchen sink) into the minivan so that we can leave when Bob gets here. ‘Course I need to clean out the minivan first. Then there’s shopping for food. I finished Jessie’s Eura dress. It is very cute with the machine embroidery on it. Mine is put together [...]
