Jul. 18, 2008 - Mmmmm-Mmmm Good!

NOTE:  No, I have NOT put our children "into" school, as far as going away to school, they still recieve their education at home (they are homeschooled), just under the umbrella of a "charter" program ...

I decided to put three of my children back into a charter school.  This is a very sore subject with me.  I don't really know why, other than I do not like the idea of being under a set of governing rules and having to answer about our curriculum to sectism.  Nevertheless, I've been waiting to use that word ;), the decision has been made and the orientation attended.  This will help greatly with the cost of books, which is one of my main reasons for doing so, I am not ashamed to say.  The drive out to the remote location was somewhat unnearving (spell check?) and after my second or third wrong turn, it was evident the only highlight of the day would be visiting our friends the VanCleves who live out in that neck of the woods, when we were done.  THAT was well worth the drive.  We had yummy fixings and wonderful company!  We left there with a couple of bags full of veggies from Mama Vancleves garden!  Cukes, summer squash, zuchs and tomatoes.  We had a great veggie fritter for lunch the next day!  I should have taken a "before" picture, but forgot.  Still I wanted them to know how much we we enjoyed it, it was gobbled up in a heart beat!

Our lunch was so good infact, we used the rest of the veggies for dinner, we had the same thing, only adding some ground turkey, celery and cheese.

Funny how while we were whipping it up in the kitchen, some were whopping it up in Dad's office!
