    This has been a school-free week & I haven’t taken a single photograph.  We had a nice lunch on Sunday with my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day.  Then, all the […]

    This was a beautiful week!  After a few weeks of record-breaking, 90+ temperatures in April, we are enjoying a week of below normal, low humidity weather.

     I haven’t been doing a very good job of making my Wrap-Ups weekly.  Now that we’re getting close to finished for the year, I’m really glad that we started […]

    This is a 2 Week Wrap-Up, again.  Last Friday, we were busy saying our last good-byes to my Mother.  After battling Altzheimer’s for years, her body finally wore out.  The last few days, she was very weak & couldn’t eat or drink, but up to that time, we were still able [...]

    I didn’t do a very good job of keeping up with the blog this week.  My mother is in the last stages of Alzheimer’s & has gone down quickly in the last few weeks, so a lot of my time has been at their house lately.   The hospice nurses [...]

    Spring Break!
    We hadn’t planned to take a break this week, but one of the ladies that usually takes care of  my Mother during the week was sick.  That meant that I had to spend a lot more time at their house.   By Wednesday, when all that we had gotten done [...]

    This week seemed to be more about interruptions and special events than school work.  We consumed more fast food this week than I can remember eating in a long time!  Not a lot to say about schoolwork or menus, so I’ll just hit the highlights.
     
    On Monday morning, Luke had [...]

    I missed last week’s update – just got busy & didn’t feel like sitting down to write.   Since my last post, we had Scout Sunday: and a field trip to the Fire Station:

    Luke wasn’t too excited about a trip to the Fire Station, but I haven’t really planned many trips [...]

    I’m going to try to start a once a week post of Our Schoolwork Today. If you’d like to join me, I know I always love to get a look at what other families are getting done during their school day, and I’m sure others would like the chance to see your day. I usually post [...]

    Not our most productive week!! But, I really knew that going into it.  We had a Field Trip to the Missouri History Museum on Tuesday.  It was wonderful.  First a local theater company did a play based on Doug Cooney’s book “Battledrum’ about the Civil War.  Then we saw an exhibit of Civil…

    I felt like this was the first normal week we’ve had in a long time – no doctor appointments, no field trips, nobody sick.  We started out with an Eagle ceremony for one of the boys in Luke’s troop over the weekend. 
     

     

     
     

    Then, Monday was grocery shopping, schoolwork, and Boy Scout…

  • Thumbnail #1 My Diet Plan for the Week My plan for is to eat a regular breakfast (usually a waffle & fruit) then eat only meat and vegetables for the rest of the day.  Probably won’t be a long term diet – I just want to see how it goes for a week. #2 Get to the gym at [...]

    Winter finally hit us this week.  Until now, we’ve been enjoying unbelievably warm weather for this time of year.  We didn’t even have to wear coats on Christmas and New Years.  But, we knew it had to come to an end sometime.  As I type this blog, my weatherbug [...]

    I took a break over the holidays, so this heading should really be “My Month.”  We gave up our homeschooling lessons about a week before Christmas and started back this week.
     
     
     

    Our Christmas tree was a little bare this year.  With a teething puppy in the house, we were a little wary [...]

    I really wanted to do a better job this week of taking photos and keeping up with my weekly wrap-up.  I started out thinking that I need to take a photo and write about it each day.  Now it’s Wednesday as I start to write.   So…to catch up:
    Saturday – This was a [...]
