Around the US in 50 Days

We just returned from a vacation of a lifetime. We took a tour of the US in an RV with all 11 of us. We had a grand time but were very glad to get home. We have been home two weeks now and as I look back on the trip it is getting to the point where I am forgetting the tough times and remembering only the good and memorable ones. Yeah! I hope it is the same for the children.

If you want to read about the trip, go to my son’s blog at

www.homeschoolblogger.com/deusprimus

He and I wrote the blog together and used wonderful photos from my husband and sons.We met many wonderful people and saw a grand array of historical and natural sites. I absolutely loved it.

My 19 year old is studying for some CLEP exams, one which is history. He told me it is so much easier to study and understand when you've actually been to the places, like Jamestown, that they are talking about. That is what makes the trip worthwhile.

Upon our return I am rearranging our great room to become our school room, library, play room and craft room. It won’t be done before school starts but I am having fun. I am enjoying the preparation for our upcoming school year. We will be studying American History!

Hope to read more soon,

Your profile name caught my attention, b/c I loved the book "Hind's Feet On High Places" and the verse that goes along with it in Habakuk. Have you read the book? I also couldn't believe the title to your blog...that's also the title to my blog. I read the last entry that your son posted. He's very funny! Did you all enjoy the snow on your vacation? You didn't eat any of the yellow snow I hope! LOL. J/K. Looking forward to reading more entries from your family.

God Bless,

Miry Clay

Hello!
I am just now reading your blog for the first time... Rather short, but I like that; it is refreshing.
It has been so long since we have seen any of you! It is two days until Easter and then choir practices will be finished and you can come visit on Sundays again. When you come you can see our new "studio." Yes, I will just keep you guessing. I can be mischievous like that sometimes.

Posted by DeusPrimus

Here in the sand I do write my comments,
In a barren land where none will read.
How long will these thoughts remain unknown?
Or first will the sand surely turn to stone?

Continue to talk in silence still,
Until I be discovered by an adventurous soul.
Who will this dreaded and lonely vigil break?
Will your place at my side stalwartly to take?

Post beside me when you come, and let the strength of two be one.

Are you ever going to write another post, or do I have to talk to you like a normal human being?

Your loving son...

Aug. 4, 2007 - A Quest Continued

Posted by DeusPrimus

Briefly I thought I was joined by another,
Till they left their mark and carried on.

They paid no heed and they were gone,
My lonely plight ignored by all.

In spite of the fact that my spirits fall,
Continue my vigil alone and still.

Until another traveler beside me will,
Await with me the return of my mother.
