GTG gives very simplistic instructions in the beginning, to add parts of speech lessons to the literature, but I would love to just use it for all grammar lessons. Anyone have any ideas? What about just picking a sentence from the literature, say 3 or 4 days a week, and diagram it and talk about anything interesting in it. If you need help diagramming it, try a free site online, or post it here. Or simplify the sentence first and then do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just scared I'll miss a big chunk, doing it on my own. Well, there's obviously a wide range of opinions on how much grammar instruction people need, lol. What are your goals? I think it could be enough depending on her prior instruction and how much she understands what she's doing with the diagramming. You could also touch on grammar through editing her writing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Grd Mrning. I am up, but awake remains to be seen. My elderly cat is feeling better. She slept in the bed most of the day, but she's up and eating this morning, although moving as slowly as I am. I woke up with a back ache, but I walked the dogs and that should warm things up and stretch them out. I have a week left to edit before another writing contest. I have twenty chapters left to subject to my line edit. I don't think I'll get through it all, but I'm going to give it a good try. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just got done scanning in all of Dad's tax documents and filing the stuff all away properly. I still need to do this with his sundry medical stuff, but right now I'm done scanning and filing. Time to pull the hematologist file in preparation for Dad's appointment this morning. We (hopefully) find out what is causing his concentrated blood today, and the plan for how to treat it. Cool temps and a morning sun are cheering me on this morning! Must remember to put out Dad's deck furniture again, and make sure he has bug repellent for when he wants to sit outside. The mosquitoes are rather bad of late. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Have I mentioned the bluebird of foolishness yet? For a few weeks, we have had an incredibly showy male bluebird patrolling around the house. He has attacked every window, either trying to get in or trying to kill the young cat. He spent days chasing the Phoebes from the front porch where their prime nesting sites are. Never mind that bluebirds are cavity nesters, he wasn't going to let that real estate go. Well, he got a mate. I don't know how, because he's not the brightest bird in the branches, but he did. And he quit attacking the windows. I suspect his mate told him she was picking the house, and he needed to quit knocking his head on the glass because it wasn't helping his brain any. 2 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Which dress for DH's retirement ceremony? Or neither? Are both too young? Don't go stealing them out from under me before I make a decision...Dress 1 seems more springy and light and I don't have any other white dressy outfits. Dress 2 seems like a more forgiving cut if the fit is off, but I have a lot of navy. I have another dress in this brand/size that fits so I think they'll be ok but it's hard to know for sure. https://www.thredup.com/product/women-milly-casual-dress/26104199 https://www.thredup.com/product/women-milly-casual-dress/36057709 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
