It has been forever since I posted. What has been going on? Well, as I tell you, you will see why posting has not been happening!!

I had a bout with tendonitis, which has been a problem for me since my college days. It is normally something that affects me kind of like arthritis, and I just take some motrin and deal with it, but every few years, I will do something silly (in this case, helping some friends move out of our house), like lifting heavy boxes, and it will really set it off. Then I am stuck with my arm in a sling for several weeks. This does not go over well with anyone in my family! But we made it through and thankfully my arm is back to normal now.

I have also been busy trying to get my new book, "Get Real!" into print.. There have been a few delays with the publisher, one of which was the cover.  I still don't have the book available yet, but I have been taking orders for it this spring at the conventions where I have spoken, and I pray that they will have it available by the end of June.

The other thing going on has been that the Lord has been opening some incredible doors for my daughter's music ministry. Danya has recorded a CD and performed her first full-length concert over the past few weeks. That has been an incredible journey. She posts pretty regularly here at HSB. Go to her blog to read more. You can also listen to her music at her music myspace. Getting a myspace has been a stretch for me, but it has been imperative for her to have one now that she is recording. We consider it a mission field, and believe me, it is heavily moderated, supervised, and daily checked by her daddy!!!

I have spent the past several weeks getting ready for the FPEA convention, held in Orlando. I just returned from there yesterday. Ginger and I had a great time, as always when we're together. It is a blast when we get to do conventions together. We love ministering to parents and sharing with other homeschooling moms and dads! If you aren't familiar with my dear friend Ginger Plowman, visit her website.

I have also been working on updating my website. It is slow going as we are working to make it fully interactive and make it a place you want to visit regularly. I am starting a weekly newsletter, so please go by my site and sign up!

HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY!
