ChemMommy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I was hoping to meet a WTMer there, but probably won't. Andrew P is speaking all weekend.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'll bring my TOG manuals for a bribe or other high school materials. I have the Magic Lens Level I stuff, too. Chocolate could also be added to this bribe!!!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misidawnrn Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 When/where is it? I am in MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 When/where is it? I am in MT Too far for you! It's in Jamestown, so EAST of Bismarck by quite a ways. You'd be insane to come to this little convention. Waving to you....Since we both live in the unpopulated part of the US, you'll probably be able to see me waving! LOL But at least someone read my post:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Once Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nope. Not me. But I would love to listen to Andrew P. Have you ever been to a ND Homeschoolers Convention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I see you waving. ;) I just had to respond since we're "close". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misidawnrn Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yep, that's too far to drive since we are closer to the west side of MT, but I am waving back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nope. Not me. But I would love to listen to Andrew P. Have you ever been to a ND Homeschoolers Convention? Many times. It's pretty conservative but manages to have some academic speakers and some "encourage the homeschoolers" speakers each year. We just won't talk about the year the speakers advocated arranged marriages. I think the organizers were even embarrassed!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the organizers were even embarrassed!:lol: I missed that one I think....the (2008) one in Grand Forks had very conservative speakers and attendees. I still learned some things in the seminars but I do see some repeat topics in the flier for this year. Makes me want to attend the repeats as they may infact be heavily requested for very good reasons. Alas, I want to attend now if only to listen to Andrew P......we are loving the SWI A and look forward to starting up the next DVD soon. Several of his topics for sessions and workshops look very interesting. Have a blast!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyinND Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I was at the Grand Forks one, also. I live about 70 mi. SW of Grand Forks. That was my first year homeschooling. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 It was an okay conference and more on homeschooling than on parenting. Andrew was wonderful and a very nice person, in person. We've been evacuated once and emptied our basement twice in two years (and year #3 is ramping up--another flood in a couple of weeks). We've misplaced at least one video disk and he offered to replace it for $5. I was wanting to rebuy the whole set! My 4 kids attended his workshops and enjoyed them a lot. It got them excited about writing (again). Maybe we can do a mini, really mini, WTM meet-up next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
