Heat Wave

It is sooooo hot here that I insisted that Dodger NOT work!  The heat index has been 109-114 all week.  It's crazy.  I LOVE the heat but even I don't like this.

Quote: Is it Essential

“Most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you’ll have more time, and more tranquility. Ask yourself at every moment, ‘Is this necessary?” – Marcus Aurelius

Quote on Manners

"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use."

—Emily Post

We have fabulous co-op classes this fall

We have fabulous co-op classes this fall! I'm so excited!

Dancer is taking two classes from one of her friend's mom... "Be a Problem-Solving Genius" ... on tackling math word problems, and Economics.  She's also taking a Drawing and Cartooning class that's being taught by one of the homeschool dads who is a colorist for one of the major comic book companies.

Also ran to the homeschool book sale today... to see if there were some goodies there.

Excited for the journey ahead

It's still a journey and it's not always perfect... just love the person next to you... you never know what they might be going through. and excited for the journey ahead.
