I was sent a link in a Yahoo email loop for a website where you can download free ebooks!  If anyone would like a link, let me know, as it's sort of a referral site.  I got the Great Pioneer Projects there (which I had originally tried to download from Homeschool eStore, but their site was so busy with the Mother's Day special that it wouldn't connect) among others. 

SO - my excellent rock band with a Scripture twist (We're called Unchained) was slated to appear at a local prison's minimum security unit this past weekend, but after driving all the way there, unloading all of our gear and hauling it some distance, we discovered that the wrong paperwork had been sent in and we didn't have the necessary clearance to get in and do our show.  It was something of a letdown, to put it mildly, but we got over it and will go bravely on! :-)

It's about 90 degrees here today.  Feels like California, hot and dry.  Usually when it heats up here it's humid.  The kids and I decided to do some physical education, nature walking and community service today.  We walked to the library and picked up trash (saving the aluminum cans!).  Saved gas, added a little to the coffers, got some exercise, saved the environment in more ways than one, and we counted it as school to boot!   Gotta love homeschooling!  We walked right by the local public school, and got more than a few odd sidelong looks, especially from the school janitor who was out mowing the lawn.  The kids wore their homeschool t-shirts ("We build character, confidence and integrity one child at a time").  Ha ha!  I love it!

I ran into an old friend on the web this week.  Turns out she homeschools her kids too!  How cool is that? I was just flooded with memories of high school and all the awful things I said and did back then.  But that brought with it the knowledge that God has redeemed me, bought me back into His family and taken away all that guilt - amazing, isn't it!
