Sep. 8, 2008 - Schooling...

   The reason why I have not posted in half a fortnight is mainly because of schooling. We all have those days when we are crammed with books and information, and just really want to stay on track and not loose sight of our goal for the day. We have been doing that...staying up late with different agendas, getting up a little later than usual, and trying to push everything into a normal schedule, while juggling all of our other activities. And for some mysterious reason, we have been getting phone calls off the ringer! I mean my goodness, can't we have time for school:)

    So, reading others' posts about their curriculum and school schedule, I thought I would post ours. Since we have more subjects than we could easily in one day, we split them up onto different days.

   Monday- Theology, History, Languages, General Science, Algebra, Cultural Geography, and Grammar & Writing

   Tuesday- Theology, Languages, Algebra, Cultural Geography, Literature, Music Lesson
 
   Wednesday- Theology, History, General Science, Algebra, Cultural Geography, Grammar& Writing

   Thursday- Theology, History, General Science, Algebra, Cultural Geography, Literature, Grammar& Writing

   Friday- Theology, History, General Science, Algebra, Cultural Geography, Grammar & Writing

   I personally enjoy History, Science- I can't wait to start Biology, Grammar & Writing, and...oh alright, I enjoy ALL of the subjects. And we do switch up the days if our schedules are needing of it. Tuesday is very short because we have Piano lessons, we go to the Library whilst we are in town, and then we head to my Granny's to meet with my cousins, aunt, and my other aunt.

Apr. 22, 2008 - I'm Lovin' It!

This is Susie and I together. Susie is a wonderful godly lady who has had a great influence in my life. I love her to death!
But the story behind this picture is that Susie is not only a lovely lady with character, but she is a nature woman. Boy can she tell you so many things, plus she's a joy to be around!
Mom asked if she would give us a nature lesson on wildflowers and trees, along with shrubs and anything else that is classified as a plant. Susie agreed and we set the date for when the first flowers would be blooming.
The day came and we drove a minute down to her house and started on our journey. They live in the woods, and have more areas to roam than our small plot of land. We started with the buckeye, then we headed to the Spring Beauty, tulips and daffodils (those aren't wildflowers but she had planted some, and we could not just pass on by now could we?)
We headed through the woods, looking at all sorts of things; trees, grapevines, scat (remember Susie), and all sorts of wonderful little things! My favorite flower was the Dutchman's Breeches! They are little white flowers that hang down like pants on a laundry line...a sign of the creator's diversity.
We kept at it, until we came to their house, which is a lovely kit log cabin that has such an air of hospitality...and stories.
So that was "Susie's Grand Adventure" as we call it. There was much more that we saw, but I do not have room enough to do them justice. We also took a day off of school to hike for two and a half hours...now is that exercising the mind or what?
