We've had a bit of a slow start, since we returned from vacation. But we are up to chapter 6 in "Little House on the Prairie." We are enjoying reading about the Ingall's journey in a covered wagon. It is very hard to imagine how they traveled compared to our trip last month. We have all sorts of amenities available to us along the way now with restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, hotels, even campgrounds.

In comparison, the Ingalls family had to pack everything they needed to survive. I was struck by the portion I read about Mary grinding the coffee. How easy is it for us today to get a cup of coffee along the way on a journey. We take it for granted that we can have a cup of coffee whenever we want it. I don't know about you, but we do not even own a coffee grinder. And let's not even start the discussion about the types of coffee that are available! LOL

Enjoy your day of learning with your children!

And to think that I hated actually waiting for my coffee to brew so I got a new Bunn coffeemaker that has my coffee ready in LESS than 3 MINUTES! I am totally spoiled...and glad I don't have to grind coffee...and that's assuming I've already made the fire! LOL
