This week we finished the first six weeks of Academic Year 2017! It was a great six weeks. We managed to keep up with almost everything – except Kim. M-girl is doing well with her added work, although she is struggling a little with time management of it. She’s always been a little less, um,…
For Today… Monday, January 9, 2017 Looking out my window … between the sky and ground, it’s grey and white. And frigid. I am thinking … that my husband is smarter than I am (no surprise there). He chose to hire movers for the hand-me-down sectional from my parents and that was so smart. They…
