The life

On Sunday we were able to drive to the land my dad grew up on.  Now that he's living close to it again, he has big plans for it.  My aunt and her grown daughter and her husband live own half of the 80 acres and my dad has 20 and plans to acquire the rest from other siblings.  Then he wants to put some animals in there...horses, cows, goats...whatever.  I personally would LOVE to live there and have a farm!  William would thrive on a farm.  As it was he got to see my cousin's 6 horses and he got to feed my uncles goats.  We also saw my uncle's cattle.  It was just a really enjoyable day.  This part of the country hasn't changed much in the last 50 years.  It's like stepping back in tim when we make the turn onto that red dirt road.  I've been visiting this parcel of land for all of my life.  Because we moved around so much growing up, my parents purposely took us to "the home place" as often as they could so we could have a place to put down some roots.  I'm so thankful that I now live close enough to do the same with my son!  The poor kid will be moving into his tenth home on Monday.  He's 5.  That's just wrong.  Hopefully he and I won't be moving again for a while, but an 3rd floor apartment is not an ideal place for an active little boy.  It would be great to spend weekends in Pleasant Grove.  Get him a calf to raise, maybe a pony.  He'd be in little boy heaven!    I'm ashamed to say we haven't done any school this week.  Well, maybe not ashamed.  On Monday my throat was really sore...not at all up to all the reading required my Sonlight.  And yesterday I was being deposed and listening to deposition of my ex in my custody circus all morning.  Thankfully it went really well.  On Sunday we'll be heading south again in preparation for moving in on Monday!!  I can't wait to get my homeschool area set up in our new place.  But homeschool area or no, I have to go do school today.  Now.
