Hello there people

I know you've been missing me, right? Well now it's mid-June 2008. My DH just flew off to Calgary Alberta for a 2 day conference. I just got the chillens in bed and now I'm free!

Been making new friends...Went to the British Columbia Homeschool Conference.  Spent a day doing seminars with Jessica Hulcy- co-creator of Konos curriculum.  Sounds like  a lot of work but it seems to be better for children's brains to have hands- on learning like that. I got Vol. 1 online second hand for 40 including shipping. Reg 107.  I do like a bargain!

God is good.  Please pray for Joy. Her husband died 3 weeks ago from leukemia.  He was a great missionary to Muslims.  Hard to understand why God wanted him in heaven right now.

thanks.
