visiting family

Last week, DH, DD and I traveled east to visit our older son and his family. We had a wonderful time! We spent some time enjoying the beautiful weather. The twins picked up with us just as though we were always around. They love Pa’s homemade rolls. And Ma had lots of help making pizzas. […]

book and binder storage

I’ve tried several ways to store the books and binders I use for homeschooling our daughter. I had them on the counter…no good. They were in the way, it looked cluttered…I had to shuffle them to find what I needed. I set them on the floor, against the drawers next to my desk area. But […]

my Valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day, my Sweet. Here are a few of the many things I love about you. Happy Valentine’s Day. I love you! ~~Rhonda

sunny florida, we miss you!

Last week, we missed a big ice storm at home while we enjoyed the sun and warm breezes in lovely Florida. We stayed several days in Orlando where DH and DD spent two fun-filled days at Universal Studios. I stayed “home” and enjoyed the peace, the quiet, and the view. They rode the roller coasters, […]

a visit with the grands

We are home after a great visit with our son and his family. Seeing the grands was wonderful. Just a few pics from our visit… Twin2 called DH “Pa” all week. She would say “where Pa?? where Pa??” every time he left the room. Twin1 handed out kisses right and left. They enjoyed getting reacquainted […]

the school cat and a little cornbread

This morning, DD had a tiny amount of water in a little bowl so she could wet a kleenex for wiping clean her wet erasable map. Buttercup thought that teeny bit of water must be there for her to enjoy. Then she licked her chops and looked around as if to say, “Have anything else […]

science timeline

DD made a science timeline to use for recording scientists and historical facts, which I hope will help her visualize where these things fall in the course of history. Visualizing it should also help her see how scientific study advanced as time progressed. As we continue through the science textbook, she can add more and […]

kitty in the classroom

DD’s pet Buttercup loves to nap in the classroom. DD lined a cardboard box with a rug to make a bed for Buttercup. She set it on a chair next to her desk. But sometimes Buttercup thinks she needs to be a little closer to the action than that. Today, she hopped up onto the […]

zilli loves my new chair

When DD moved into her apartment a few weeks ago, I gave her the recliner I usually use in the library. DH bought a new one for me and Zilli seems to think he bought it for her. At least she appears to be comfy. 🙂 ~~Rhonda
