Tea Cups in the Garden

• Jul. 21, 2008 - Look What Came Monday!

These are the student books I purchased directly from Latin Road to English Grammar.

I was always buy 2 at a time, one for each of my dc. My son starts with Latin I this year and I only had to pull out the one I had waiting for him. I was not sure if this curriculum would change any and I didn't want yet another learning curve! lol Also, we have to pay with PayPal and I need dh to help me with that, since our account is in his name and his secret password. Also, I can't figure PayPal out...and quite frankly, dh only has it a little more figured out than I do. It is such a pain to move the money from our savings to our checking (which is how he set it up) then wait for a week for the money to make it's way to Pay Pal. We did this for the initial teacher and student order I thought I'd need to make. But then I found Rainbow Resource for the teacher set...so we didn't need all that money we put in Pay Pal. So now it's sitting in there, it's paid for the student order and we have money left over.

We are waiting to be charged by Ebay, which was a total failure for us this year. Nothing sold. DH was determined to make a certain amount, but I think the shipping option killed our chances. But we couldn't figure out how to set up the media mail. Two years ago we sold all our A Beka stuff (minus the teacher keys due to Ebay policy, sigh) for grades K-6 for all subjects. We have continued with A Beka math the last two years, so now I have math grades 5-8 to sell. In fact I have a perfect 6th grade workbook (I bought an extra by mistake...sigh).

Since I can't figure out how to determine Media Mail, nor do we understand Pay Pal, I don't know how to sell my things. I could just take them to Half Price books and get a few bucks for the whole lot. I am a member of a list where I could sell these, but how???? I'd be happy with a check from the receiver, but how long should I wait to make sure it doesn't bounce before I mail the items? I think that is the purpose of Pay Pal but whenever we get in there and start making decisions, we are so lost and confused.

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
