Well, well, well. I'm 'blogging.  Never thought I would.  Seemed far too trendy.  But, I cannot deny the advantages.  Free hosting, for one.  I never have had the patience, or been willing to devote the time, to have David teach me how to make my own webpage.  So, I'll just do this the easy way.

I've always read and heard that journaling is very therapeutic.  Who am I to doubt all those experts?  Still, I do wonder, if perhaps it just gives one opportunity to think about all the things that there are to complain about.

Anyway...To say nothing about the dog.  Just a book title.  A very good book title.  Or, rather, the title of a very good book.  We "named" our homeschool after an object in this book.  The Bishop's Birdstump.  Even at the end of the book, you still dont' really know what it is, and certainly not what it looks like.  And since we are the Bishops, we must therefore have the "Bishops' Birdstump Boarding School".  Although we don't mention that to anyone at David's work, since boarding schools, understandably, aren't a popular topic there. 

And it has come in handy in other uses.  When the girls wanted to sell bread, we became the Birdstump Bakery. 

And if we wanted to sell cute clothing, it would be the Birdstump Boutique.  And I suppose if I really wanted to change my line of work......well, nevermind.  We won't go there.  But it's a really useful moniker. 

And, for the record, we have no dog; so it is pretty unlikely that I will ever say anything "of the dog".
