We are more than half way through our school year.  I cannot believe it.  For awhile there I never thought it would end.  I could not even see and end in sight.  I guess I was in a funk.  For no apparent reason.  But now we have restored the "it is fun to learn" atomsphere in our schooling and things are looking up. 

I am so looking forward for the summer.  Not because I am going to take a break from schooling, but because in the month of July I will be up in Idaho with my family.  My sister is getting married and that is bringing a lot of family members together that unsually are not.  I am so excited for this event. 

This month in History  we are learning about the California Gold rush.  It has been enjoyable.  We have an old ghost silver mining town where we live that I plan on visitng after we are done with the study.  That should be a fun day.  Next month I think will be something on California, if not it will be on Lewis and Clark.
