Is it really June??? I was wandering around visiting other peoples blogs tonight and I thought hey I am actually in the mood to update mine :). I still must try and learn to add pictures. Maybe next time I come up for breath. Where have I been?? I suppose alot of time has been spent with my homeschool group. Since we have not been organising for our craft group we have had lots more time to socialize. I am enjoying that. There has been a period of transition in the group as some members have left and new people have joined leaving some of the ones that have been around for a long time wondering where they will fit in . A few people that have joined our group are natural learners and it had set a fire in our group. A wind of change might be more like it. I have been enjoying it and often think of the phrase "Seasons" in our homeschooling journey lately (Thanks Susan) . I have always been the odd one out because I am so eclectic in my hs. Until now cyberspace has been where I communicate with people who are like minded. Now with a few new members it has all changed. An answer to prayer I might add. It has caused a bit of concern though for people who are not lead to learn this way. I guess as long as people are honest things will be good. I myself am learning many things!! I attended the NHED conference and just loved hearing Eleanor Sparks, Beverly Paine and of course John Taylor Gatto. I missed the Christian feel though. As someone else mentioned I missed being edified and uplifted by the fact I was sittting with others that felt God had called them to hs. There were a few people but not alot. I was happy to see Muslims there too. I hope that there will be a Big Picture Conference in the near future...I will definatly attend...I was talking to someone here about a hs camp here in Vic that would be good. I appreciated that my children were able to be out and about the HEN winter camp while we attended the conference. My dh was rapt to be able to hear John Gatto almost uninterupted. Anyway, obviously things are going well. I don't think I could completely natural learn but I am not going to such a slave to the curriculum. If I get to Bible, Math and LA that is enough for a day if I get to more great. The rest of the day can be dedicated to their interests and mine too..which is another revelation..
