Christmas Break
At a time when most people are on Christmas break, we are still trying
to get in a few subjects. Yesterday and today we did Science and
Math. Last night we watched part one of Longitude.
Part two hasn't been mailed to us yet.
It's a great movie, so far. I think for the rest of the week I will
just have Gabe and Hannah finish reading A Christmas Carol
and work on their blogs. I need a Christmas break whether they do
or not. A great friend of mine has sent me some books and I'm
looking forward to some relaxation and reading.

We haven't really taken a break either. Just light stuff and having fun.
Relaxation sounds lovely! Enjoy your books and don't forget to share what you read.

Back in my younger days I was the keeper of the ships Gyro Compass - http://www.sperrymarine.northropgrumman.com/Company-Information/Corporate-History/Sperry-History/
Exerpt from the web site"During the period from the end of the First World War to that of the Second, Sperry Gyroscope produced a number of marine gyrocompass variants. These included the MK6, the MK8 and probably the most famous, the MK14. The MK14 emerged in 1933-4 and continued to be built well into the 1950's. The MK14 found its way aboard such famous ships as the QUEEN ELIZABETH 1, QUEEN MARY " I had one on the USS Fort Snelling LSD-30 built in 1955.
Therefore, the interest in the movie.
Check out the Sagnac effect and how it is used today.

...I look forward to all of us encouraging each other in our journey to better health! Just a note on the Longitude movie, we ended up turning off the second part due to a risque' poker scene that caught us totally off guard...we had so enjoyed the first part and then BAM...up popped the offensive scene. You might want to preview it first and have the controls at your fingertips.

Just random blogging here as I wait for my DH and I found your blog. Thought I would just pop in and say hello. I enjoyed reading your entries. We are on a well deserved break for Christmas but already feeling quilty for not really doing anything. Although we had a really nice day making sugar cookies and just joking around together.
Anywho.. have a Wonderful Christmas
