It has been raining for hours. The sound is relaxing, comforting and we are so cozy here in Nonna's house. Bryan and I are in Washington State, on the Peninsula, staying with my mom and grama for a few weeks. Mom had surgery and is recovering nicely. It sure is nice to have a break from the cramped quarters at home in Da Cabin. Our Cabin is home, but it is nice to be in a spacious house at times to, well, spread out a bit. Isn't it great to be able to pack up the school books and go where ever, whenever....we love it!
We are still with our Charter School, South Sutter, and both Bryan and I are looking forward to this new year of schooling. As a highschooler, Bryan finds himself WANTING to work harder. WANTING! I love that...he is setting high goals for himself and it makes this momma very proud.
Some of the books we are using for 9th grade are: Saxon Algebra 1, along with the Saxon disks(what a wonderful tool); Wordly Wise; Apologia Physical Science; Rosetta Stone, Russian; Writing; Literature. For history, we are piecing together all sorts of materials on wars, battles and military history. We will study photography this year, as well, and that will be fun! Being at Nonna's, Bryan has a tough time concentrating, but he still gets his work done.
The rain makes the coziness even sweeter this morning. I am thankful we did not have camping plans for this Labor Day weekend!! Today will be a day of relaxing, resting, healing, drawing and laughter. All good things.
Take care and enjoy your day! Peace and joy be yours!
Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. -Isaiah 40:31
