Susan in TN Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) OK, apparently Harvey Lewis posted a video on Instagram of Jasmin starting back down from the fire tower with about 3-1/2 hours to the cutoff time. She looked pretty strong and the weather is good and it's daylight. About 2-1/2 hours left now. I am hoping we see Ihor at the Yellow Gate soon.

Susan in TN Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Good morning! Everyone has left me home with the dogs to work at the park on dd17's eagle project.

I still have some seeds to start so I may do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 We have a local ice cream place that makes their own and my favorite is a double dark chocolate fudge crunch. Chocolate ice cream with threads of fudge and cake crunchies. Yummy. Ugh, now I want ice cream but I'm trying to lose weight. I'm getting all kinds of stuff on Facebook about the Barkley. I think it's cool that the Wikipedia was evidently updated immediately after the race finished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I spent the afternoon in the kitchen. Found out our neighbor lady had been in the ER with pneumonia and her husband lost his mom this past week, so I figured I should bring them dinner. I made potato soup and German sausage sandwiches with homemade buns and then I was really on a roll and made cinnamon rolls as well. (no pun intended). And I watched college basketball. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. Now I am hunkered down on the couch getting ready to start a new book. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Good morning! The Youngers have gone to church. I am home. Feeling a bit better, just congested. My eyes feel leaky. Stupid head. I forgot it was Palm Sunday. David and I used to have the children's choir sing every Palm Sunday. I avoid Palm Sunday now, sick or otherwise. Maybe some day. We are running out of groceries, primarily cheese, eggs, and half & half, so I may need to get out to the store at some point today.

Susan in TN Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! We had IP oatmeal with blueberries. I have been gradually reducing the amount of oatmeal I make. It used to be 2C rolled oats with 3-1/2C water and now it's down to 1C oats with 1-3/4C water and we still don't eat it all. It's a usual Monday for us today. School work this morning and music lessons, choir, and scouts this afternoon and evening. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't do so much of the tidying part because I came across some stickers which were asking to be placed on my ukulele and/or mandolin case so I assisted in that important matter. Now must have more coffee and make a dinner and bring the girls to all the places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant4Christ Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 EdPo: Have any of you used/seen/held Memoria Press flashcards for math? The dimensions look good (not as huge as R&S). I want to know if they are good quality, but cannot seem to find any reviews or pictures of these IRL anywhere. I want sturdy and non see-through. Otherwise, I'm hand writing a bazillion math flashcards over the summer along with vocabulary word and phrase cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
