So guess what I found this week? A podcast I made on March 11, 2024, and never uploaded. So all those times over the past five months I mentioned here and there about discussing some of these things in my most recent podcast and you couldn’t figure it out? It was in this one. Overlooking …
Last evening David and Caroline picked up a copy of Late Bloomers – The Hidden Strengths of Learning and Succeeding at Your Own Pace for me at Barnes and Noble. This is a subject I’ve been thinking about quite a bit in recent months including when we made the decision to take an extra year …
Caroline and I have thoroughly enjoyed learning with Dwane Thomas through the online video classes Word Up and Visual Latin. (Both are available through Compass Classroom.) Our intention is to complete Visual Latin 1 and Visual Latin 2 by the end of next year. When you complete the full two-year course, you are able to …
I’m assuming everyone reading this post is familiar by now with what happened at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Even Archbishop Vigano weighed in today with a special word about the “wives” of Emanuel Macron and Barack Obama. Yes, he really went there. In fact, it was seeing his letter that told …
Most things in creation have been running two to four weeks ahead around here. Our daisies were a few weeks early in June as were the Brown-Eyed Susans and lilies in July. The corn we drive past on our way various places looks much further along than normal. The orchard we pass regularly and where …
Like many people, I consider Labor Day weekend the end of summer. However, we are not waiting until then to continue our high school homeschool studies. We started up again with a few things this week, essentially getting a six week mini-session in before everything associated with a new school year kicks in. After deciding …
I’ve been thinking about the importance of guarding my Christian witness quite a bit lately. On July 18 I was involved in a discussion on Truth Social. A man I’ve become social media acquaintances with said this: There is absolutely no one you can trust. This is the wisdom I’ve asked for that is hard …
On Friday afternoon, I was cleaning up some posts I had moved from my closed website. I added a photo and changed the title of one called “We All Should Be Asking Questions” to You Have a Right and Responsibility to Question Everything. I also added a comment that I thought was appropriate to the …
Trump announced his pick of Senator J.D. Vance (OH) just as I was hitting publish. I’m keeping my original post below as a record of the conversations that went on. Someone pointed out this: …will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, …
This is war. It has been war. These people will stop at nothing because this is for all the marbles. They know what awaits them if he wins. I will continue to update this post. Feel free to leave comments so we can all process this together. He said, “Fight. Fight. Fight.” Statement from …
In late March, I was contacted by The Epoch Times regarding our family’s homeschooling experience. They were interested in writing a story about the fact that I am a former teacher who is now homeschooling her gifted daughter. To be honest, The Epoch Times is probably one of the only media companies I would even …
Is the babysitter running the country? I give you this to consider. It was shared on Gab by someone I generally trust who indicated it was an accurate summary. Based on everything you’ve seen happening, I ask you which parts you think aren’t true because I suspect most of it is true. Think that couldn’t …
