Our week of doing learning has been very relaxed this week due to my being preoccupied with SMHS Silent Auction I put on for last night.  

I started drinking Ginseng tea now.  I bought some gingseng tea for the purpose of L drinking it for all the hard swimming she is doing and about to get more complicated she said.  So I decided I would drink some too because ginseng is supposed to be good for arthritis, which I have and energy, which I suffer from also.  http://www.chinese-herbs.org/ginseng/benefits-of-ginseng.html.  So I decided to start drinking it myself.  And I do have to say, I have had more energy.  I need to research to make sure there isn't caffeine in it.

On Tuesday morning after having my first cup of ginseng the night before, I was up at 6:30 a.m. (an unsual fete for me.  I'm not a morning person.)  And N rose early, also.  N is into the solar system.  We read a book, the evening before about being able to see Mercury at sunset and sunrise.  So this Tuesday morning, I told N, "let's go outside and look for Mercury.  Didn't see it.  Then N decided that we needed to go for a walk around the block at 6:30 in the morning.  So we put on some warmer clothes, N got his scooter, and around the block we went scurried.  It was quite refreshing though.  When we usually walk around the block  later in the day, we find mounds of red ants.  We didn't see any this early in the morning.  We found snails scurrying across the sidewalk.  N. felt water fall on his head when we walked under the tree, so I explained to him about at night it gets wet when it is colder, and the water in the morning from the tree is dew.  Don't know if he understood that concept or not.

Now, we both have colds.  It's unsual for N to want to stay in the house all day, But that's how he's been, not wanting to go anywhere or even outside to play.  And I haven't been in the mood for any learnig either.

So, there you go.
