Schoolin' On the Road

Another Installment in "As the Wheels Turn"
When
last we left our intrepid travellers, they were on their way to
Seatlle. We now find that they have been to Seattle, back out and
over a very snowy and wet Snoqualmie pass, and through the bitter cold
of the northern plains states. They are now on their way to
Utah, via an icy, snowy and chilly Illinois. The female lead is
never so thankful for their nice warm truck as when they have been
outside loading the trailer in weather that is rainy and windy and COLD!!!!!
Tennesee was cold this afternoon, and one of the hazards of having a
flatbed or stepdeck trailer this time of year is that you have to load
and unload in miserable weather.
Homeschooling our DS remains a challenge. He is forever
"forgetting" to do parts of his assignments. We are also having
the problem that I haven't been able to replace the Bible disc of his
curriculum and won't until Christmas week when we get home. So
his lesson plans keep showing that he is way behind in that. Oh,
well. we'll work on it and get it caught up. One of the
benefits of it being that subject is that he has a thirst and it wont
be a hardship for him to catch it up.
I finally think that I have found the replacement history program that
we are going to use. I decided that we would use "History Scribe"
and the History timeline books and just kind of work on the Civil
War. I know quite a bit about that, I have some resources and we
do have internet access, so we can do a third grade unit for the rest
of the school year. He's also interested in that and westward
expansion so it won't be too awfully difficult.
I was able to catch up with an old highschool friend tonight that
I haven't talked to in about three years. That was really
neat. It is kind of fun to reminisce with someone that has
known you for a large part of your life, even tho we haven't seen each
other in 22 years, he doesn't seem to have changed much. We were
talking about how old we are (we're both 40, although I'm older) and
how sometimes it is so hard to believe that we are old enough to be
THIS responsible and have children THIS old.
Well, we are fast approaching our stopping point for the night and I need to end this, so until next time.....
Adieu

Sounds like you have a very interesting life. Are you able to stop and see important places as you travel? Your son must get such a cool education!
Blessings,
