War College… again
Ok. One more try at this. Here I am again in the fullest apron dress that ever was. Worn for the first time at War College in Amlesmore. The turtle brooches were a gift from the great and wonderful Ismay! Their arrival brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Thank you my [...]
Viking Lapbook & Schedules
Teehee! Hands of a Child has a Viking Lapbook project pack. Lapbooks are basically a way to integrate hands-on activities with a subject. We have one slated for next year so we haven’t actually done one yet. It is soooo tempting to get this one and complete over the (rapidly advancing) summer. If it weren’t [...]

The Perfect Mother’s Day Dinner
Suuuuushiiiiiiiiii! Or am I the only mom who feels that way? ;P Yes, good sushi can be had in MO. A very unlikely place, nestled between a gym and tanning salon called Simma Down. Sounds very CA-esque no? When you walk in it feels very much like an upscale coffeeshop but oh man, the sushi [...]

Bluetooth
Doing a search on “10th Century Danish” this morning came up with the following nugget of info from an unexpected source… “The name “Bluetooth” is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand – or Harold Bluetooth in English. During the formative stage of the trade association a code name was needed to name [...]

An Afternoon on the ‘Moor
Spent the afternoon at Amlesmore’s fighter practice and barbeque. They are a very Darach-like group. Lots of kids, lots of great people. You instantly feel like you’ve been with them for years. Looks like we are going to their War College too. Bob has volunteered to help out with fighter authorizations. Lessee, that gives me [...]
Dreaming of Lilies
I REALLY wanna go. HOWEVER, there is a ton of things to make beforehand so I am not sure it is financially/mentally/humanly possible. Bob has to work on his training, so that leaves me and the kids. Lilies War runs from June 9th to June 17th. There’s no prorated fee so you pay the same [...]
The Voice of a Friend
I didn’t realize that I was anywhere near “the dumps” emotionally today. Then I got a call from, Ismay, a good friend in Darach. It was so good to hear her voice and I am in such good spirits now that I feel like I must have been in the dumps before. Emails just aren’t [...]
Time Off
I had some time off today to head up to the scribal symposium in Bellewode. (about an hour-and-a-half away). It was fun. I got to hang out with Ilaria and Cassandra (and family). Cassandra’s little boy is so adorable. He and Jessie are exactly the same size. Anyway. In Cassandra’s class, I learned to cut [...]
Monoceros finished?
I’m not really sure if I’m done or not. LOL! I think it needs something but I dunno what. I debated about some whitework in the outer red boarder but again… I just can’t decide. There are parts I really, really like: the monoceros itself, the alternating red and blue. There are parts I’m not [...]
