The first frost of the season has arrived, with temps dipping into the upper 20's last night.  Well- finally time to give in and turn the heat on.  It's been a wonderfully warm fall; we were due for this frost for a bit now.   Time to switch over the clothes- a two week process for me: can it be worn next year and if so, by whom? If not, is there someone else who could wear it or is it simply too worn?  3 kids, 2 adults-- that makes 10 sets of clothes (1 set of summer and winter for each person).  My sweet husband always chuckles that it takes me 2 weeks to switch them over :-). 
     Well- in school, we're continuing in Ancient times and returning to Africa with the Egyptians, Hyskos and the areas around Nubia and the current day Middle East.  History is fascinating!!  Well- off to begin school.
