Hi everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed weekend! We had a whirlwind weekend ourselves. Erin and Elisabeth competed at Senior 4-H DPA at Rock Eagle on Saturday. Erin got 2nd and Elisabeth placed 4th. Their presentations counted 50% and the portfolios that they turned in earlier in January also counted for 50%. So even though the presentation is important, the portfolio score counts just as much...which is sort of hard when you come from a small county that doesn't have as many 4-H opportunities as larger ones. Oh well, we were very proud of the girls. They worked hard, and as always DPA is a great learning experience, and it's great for fostering public speaking skills! Erin's project was photography, and Elisabeth did cake decorating!
We have a big church meeting this week, so I'll probably be missing in action until Sunday or Monday. Plus in the 'DPA Aftermath', we need to dig out several rooms in our house...it's pretty bad right now! If I don't have the opportunity to pop in here or do any visiting, I pray you'll all have a delightful week!
I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
