Suzanne in ABQ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My eldest is headed off to college (eek), and my middle son will be a junior at a local charter school. The little one (not so little anymore) is coming home full time. My 9yodd and I are jumping into Classical Conversations in a few weeks. We're excited. We've been homeschooling half days for a couple years (public school in mornings), but we're going to get off the fence. CC seems to be a good fit for us to do the classical education I did with the olders, but without the loneliness element, and hopefully without the burnout. :o) Have I missed anything?

Guest Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Have I missed anything? I'm guessing yes. How long have you been missing? You probably don't know about cupcakes. I hope you know about kilts and what TeA is, but I can't be certain. There have been losses and tragedies. I notice from you siggy that your kids ages are similar to mine. This fall will be the first time I homeschool only one child (the 9yo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halftime Hope Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Welcome back...if Lisa's an old timer, I shudder to think. (I pre-date the board change by several years.) Mine have graduated, but I still check in, because many of us are navigating life together ;-) , and because I love the differing perspectives I get here. Glad to see you again.

Suzanne in ABQ Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Wow! Hi everyone! I'm surprised to see so many of you here. I joined the old boards (the ones that went UP) back in 2000. I remember the first "off topic" post I shared, asking for advice on how to teach my (then 6yo, now 18yo) how to ride a bike. :o) Back then, we all stayed on topic, I guess. Anyway, it is good to be back, though there is so much to keep up with! I tried to post to the Sale-Swap board, and it wouldn't let me because "You need to make a post to the boards before you can do that". I was, like, I have over 3000 posts! What more do you want? So, I came here and posted. Didn't expect to hear from so many of you! I'm sorry to hear about the tragic things so many have been going through. We've had some scares and hard stuff (mostly with my mom), but she and we are all healthy right now. Trying to figure out what next year is going to look like. It's all good, though. Jeans Trump Kilts: Hmmmm. BooKs, I remember. TeA? not so sure. And I definitely need to be brought into the loop regarding kilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your avatar looks familiar, so I must have "seen" you before. 2008 was when the new board format kicked in. So you were probably correct in thinking that you were a member previously. I think. Maybe not. At any rate, I confirm your right to have a different memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty Joanna aka Patty in WA Yes, of course I will! I use my iron mostly for Perler beads these days. :) How's your son? What's he doing these days? My dd got into a really good independent private high school, purely because of her "Exemplary writing", which she attributes to Classical Writing, which I attribute to you! She hated it at the time she was doing it, but she is glad she did, and she's encouraging me to make her little sister do it as well. That was four years ago, though. Now she's off to college, to be an electrical engineer. But, she'll be an engineer who can write well. Not often a good combination. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to be one of the lucky ones who joined that year after the boards changed, so my joined dates is accurate. Did you miss the shopping carts, shoes in the house, and crock pot drama?
