My Commonplace Book

Where I've Been
Where I've Been
I thought I should pop in and explain my absence!  My dear friend, Mary Sharp, has been in and out of I.C.U. for the past six weeks.  She is two hours away from me in Indianapolis so between working and praying for her and going to see her, I haven't had much energy left to blog. 

School is going great!  I have super sweet kids this year at the cottage school -- ten in all.  We are studying the middle ages.  I will be posting more about what we are using for our books this year.  We are having an awesome time!  Well, okay,  I am even if the kids aren't!

I also have a new family member!  I just got a rescue dog, a "Golden Doodle."  He is ten months old and he is a cross between and standard poodle and a golden retriever.  He is sooooo cute!  I can hardly wait until my camera gets fixed and I can post pictures.  He's ten months old and he's full of joy.  I just love watching him leap and run.  He makes me giggle.

Another delay in my blogging life is that my computer has crashed again.  It has given me the death screen, so please pray I can get it running!  I really don't have the extra $$ right now to even take it to a repair shop so I'm going to try and fix it myself.  Please pray I have wisdom!

Thanks for checking in!  I promise I will be back with full vigor eventually!

Woof!

Commonplace books are a means of coping with information overload! They help us select, organize, classify, and remember key moral precepts. "When it came time to put away childish things, the role of the copy book was assumed by its close cousin, the "commonplace book." The process of maturation required the production of more-personal collections of writings, meant to provide inspiration, direction, and moral fortitude. Reading the commonplace books of historical figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or any number of antebellum Southern ladies gives us an interior view of each person's self-image and the words that motivated him or her. -- Rachel Toor "Commonplaces: From Quote Books to 'Sig' Files" The Chronicle of Higher Education May 25, 2001"
