FOR TODAY Monday, February 28, 2011 … Outside my window… it is cold (but not bitterly) and wet (but no longer thunderstorming as it did for *hours* last night). I am thinking… I’m going to try not to nap during Quiet Time today and maybe I’ll get a full night’s sleep. I am thankful for……
For Cindy’s Book Club … I’m very behind. There is so much in this chapter that I could identify with that it took me long past everyone else’s discussion to force my way through it. I knew, from the beginning of the chapter, that he was going to end with cynicism. I was given a…
Our week was somewhat up and down. Jason was home on Monday (love those bank holidays!) and we got a lot of lessons done.

I am thinking… about yesterday’s sermon, “In our hearts we’re all Pharisees and all victims of Pharisaisms.” Pastor Kessler. I am thankful for… the truth being preached. From the learning rooms… sugar cube pyramids and Pyramid. From the kitchen……
Jason says it looks like prosciutto … ew.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization by Anthony M. Esolen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Library. Blackstone Audio CD. I’ve been listening to this off and on since early January. I enjoyed it immensely. Esolen takes a strong view of Western Civilization as something to be preserved and cherished, despite its ups and…
Miss L, our favorite babysitter, was here Monday evening. She and the children were playing “college” where M-girl was the professor.
