[Tammi67]

I'm burning copies of the 3 family DVD's Mom brought for me and more copies and more copies and more copies and ...

Well you get the picture. I had to make copies for 3 aunts, 2 cousins, 3 nieces & nephews, and my 2 girls. I have 1 left! Thank goodness.

Vicki - did she get them transferred locally or was it a mail-order thing? I would like to get my parents' old home movies done.

 

[Steffy]

Jennifer - Glad to hear you weren't lifting all day! That definitely would have aggravated the problem.

Stephanie - I have FINALLY remembered who it is that you remind me of! I have been trying to think of it ever since we met. There is a lady who used to own a boutique in the mall where I loved to shop for Brother & Sister. Her name is Robin. She was always such a delight, and her mom, Rose, would sometimes help out and read stories to Brother while I was looking at things for him. She moved her shop to an area of town that is farther north than I ever go, so I haven't seen her in awhile. I always enjoyed going in to visit with her, even if I didn't really need to buy anything for the kids. Of course I usually ended up buying something because she had the most unique things. She put so much thought into the merchandise she ordered. I have been wracking my brain, so I am quite pleased I finally came up with it!

That's really sweet Elizabeth!!

Steffy-it's budget related-brain numbing for sure!

I am soooooo behind. I still have bank recs to do... I'm not even close to closing out the year...

That's what I figured.....2 different wardrobes.

Tammi,

Just bring things to layer.

 

[tinknme]

That's what I figured.....2 different wardrobes.

 

[Steffy]

Feel better Debbie and Jennifer!!!

I'm so happy that Glynis and Jen finished the marathon!

That's what I figured.....2 different wardrobes.

Pretty much! i went the 2nd week of january and it was unusually hot..like shorts and tank tops...then another time i went, i was in hoodies and jeans...pack extra!

 

[tmfranlk]

Well, it's taken me 3 showins in the last week, but it looks like I finally get to see all of the M*A*S*H finale. So, I'm going to grab a snack and watch the last half hour with my dad. Have a great night everyone!

The one I'm reading right now is called "Things We Wish We'd Known". I also checked out "Homeschooling Our Children, Unschooling Ourselves" and "Reaping the Harvest", but haven't started those yet. I love books that give real live examples of homeschooling. Two of my favorite books are these books:
http://www.windycreek.com/HomeschoolingPatchwork.html

They cover so many differnt types of families and homeschooling styles that I feel like I have a better understanding of the possibilities.

My biggest struggle is finding books that are not religiously based. So many of the books are written by people homeschooling for religious training/reasons. Since that isn't a big reason for our choice, I would like to find more things from other homeschoolers.

Those look good. I might have to see if our libary has those. I have a couple of books around here. I will look for them on tuesday and let you know the exact titles. They got moved when the christmas stuff came out.

Vicki - did she get them transferred locally or was it a mail-order thing? I would like to get my parents' old home movies done.

She got it done at a local video place.

I would definitely recommend to anyone that is interested to do it. It was the one thing that I asked her for Christmas. I can't tell you how wonderful it was seeing both sets of grandparents, my parents, cousins, aunts & uncles, etc. on tape. My grandparents & father have all passed away. There is actual footage of me dancing with my grandfather. He passed away when I was 16.
