Watches of the Night by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. I started this one shortly after finishing Out of the Ruins. It took me a little longer than other reading as I got distracted by an Elisabeth Elliott book and my friend Mystie’s book at the same time….
Overall, we had a good week. We accomplished four days of Circle Time, which is my goal. We had two acceptable days, one awful day, and one great day of Circle Time. I’m trying to think through some changes we can make because I really don’t like awful days. We finished the “Motes in the…
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry My rating: 4 of 5 stars Borrowed from my mom. I think I read this 20 years ago when I was in high school. I did not understand any of it then. I borrowed it from my mom because she bought tickets for the two of us to…
Last week was both frustrating and good. Frustrating because we had some “we’re going to do this even if it takes all day” issues and good because we did get things accomplished. We did Circle Time five days. We finished Tina Packer’s The Tempest in our reading. We reviewed and sang and sat everyone on…

Out of the Ruins by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. Wow. I’m, once again, wishing I were reading the next Ben Reese Mystery instead of writing a review. Ben has returned to the States after a sabbatical in Scotland (where he’s solved two murders). He’s headed to the…
Our first week was so good, I had high hopes for the second. Sadly, the children were sick Monday and Tuesday, we accomplished a light day Wednesday, sickness reared its ugly head on Thursday, and we had a solid day today. That’s how it goes some weeks. We only did Circle Time today. We…
