Aug. 11, 2007 - I was tagged

Homeschoolmom 0221 tagged me this evening. Here we go!

1.  What is your favorite Bible verse?

Proverbs 22: 6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  It is such the focus of my thoughts on a daily basis in this season of my life. 

2.  What season of the year is your favorite? Why?

It is a toss up because I love them all.  I would have to say Spring is my favorite, though.  I feel refreshed and reinspired when spring comes around. I love that it isn't too hot and occasionally cold enough to still feel cozy inside but pretty on the outside with the budding flowers and plants.

3.  Do you think homeschooling will continue to grow?

Definitely!  When I was a child, we homeschooled for 5 years.  It was so unheard of in most places, people actually thought we were making it up!  Now that I'm homeschooling my own children it is almost an expected "yes" when I'm asked if we homeschool. 

4.  List 4 people who have most influenced your life

  1. My dad

  2. Debra C. who successfully homeschooled all five of her children in a relaxed, loving environment.  Each child went to college and have all be successful! :)

  3. Marybeth Davis whom I knew in my youth, she set a wonderful example to me on how to keep a home and raise a beautiful family.

  4.  The author Joann Larson and her books about not being perfect.

5.  What is your favorite non Biblical Quote?

This is difficult because I'm an avid collector and love of quotes.  There are so many wonderful ones.  This is the one on my signature line:

"By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class." -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

6.  Silk, satin, or cotton

I prefer cotton.  It's simple, its airy, it breathes.  But I would love a set of satin sheets! ;)

7.  If you like chocolate, what is your favorite?

This isn't fair either!  I am a chocolate LOVER.  Ok, so if I had to narrow it down to one favorite.  It would be between the 80% bittersweet chocolate bar and Nestle's Symphony (blue) with the toffee and almonds.

8.  If you could sit at dinner with five people who would they be?

My darling husband, Ben.  I always want to be with him.
My friend Dawn
My friend Beth
My sister Gen
and Diann Jeppson (co-author of the second Thomas Jefferson Edu book)

9.  What is your favorite author?

Right now it is Jane Austen.  Ask me another time and it will change.  I'm almost finished with Emma and will be starting Persuasion!

10.  Who will you tag?

Anyway who wants to join in and Dawn S. and Little Skipper
