Homeschoolopoly

Some of you, who've been coming here for awhile, may recall that in the spring, we were blessed to receive a grant from the Homeschool Foundation. In addition to that, one of the "extras" we received was a copy of the new Homeschoolopoly Game. We waited, and waited, and waited. I'd about given up on it ever arriving. Well, it did, this week, with a lovely note, from the wife (Pamela Berthume) of the couple that sells the game, explaining their family situation over the last year. I was moved to tears as I read the letter. Last night the kiddos and I sat and played Homeschoolopoly. Please understand that this was a HUGE sacrifice for me, because I seriously dislike all forms of Monopoly, It's a hard situation in my house, as I have one child who is a serious Monopoly freak and another who would like to be. It just takes too long, it doesn't move fast enough to hold my attention and I can always think of at least 110 other things that would be a better use of my time. Well, we played the short version, with one or two slight family modifications, and had a wonderful time. Ironically, I the woman with no license and only two children was the proud possessor or three out of the four possible vehicles on the board. If you are a family that plays board games or likes monopoly, I'd seriously recommend that you visitwww.homeschoolopoly.com and purchase a copy of this. It will be one of those heirloom items to pass on to your grandchildren, no doubt. Blessings, MaggieRaye |
