FOR TODAY February 8, 2010… Outside my window… the sky is grey and laden with snow. It will be falling soon enough. And, here it is. I am thinking… about How Lincoln Learned to Read. I am thankful for… Similasan Pink Eye Relief ..I think M-girl had a close call. From the learning rooms… Argentina…
I really enjoyed How Lincoln Learned to Read. The book is a history of 12 Americans, or soon-to-be Americans, and the manner in which they gained the knowledge and skills that would become necessary for them to complete the role they would fulfill in their adult lives.

So far, this is the best of our regional meals. Pollo Arvejado This was easy and really, really tasty. Lots of good flavor and fried potatoes, hard to not like.

FOR TODAY February 8, 2010… Outside my window… the sun is glistening through the frozen trees and reflecting off the snow. I am thinking… about starting school in a bit. I am thankful for… the sun. It is much cheerier. From the learning rooms… We’re studying Chile this week. From the kitchen… Sticky Chicken in…
