Heh!

It seems like to me it's getting really hard, especially for Matthew. He's studying Ratio and Proportions. I think they are trying to challenge him right here at the end of the school year.

Seriesly, if it is too hot to be outside in the middle of the summer, why not do school THEN and have a big break NOW? It is not like you are some public school with an inflexible schedule.

He's studying Ratio and Proportions.

If he were older, I'd imagine they could use Anna Kournikova in the lesson somewhere. ;~D

Well, we could, but I tape the lessons one week and we watch them the next while the next week's lessons are taping...does that make sense? We do Bob Jones Homesat.

Another Freeper recipient of one of out Hobbit Hole knives. One war late, but better late than never.

-----------------

Awesome ! Awesome !!!!!!........ I'll drop ya the duckets for the Becker Tool in the AM with some extra to support your knife program..........ya made me feel good with that gift. Better than you'll ever know.

Thank You......

Kinda like the trip home from Desert Storm when thousands of strangers , hugged me, shook my hand, cried and gave me help with my gear, some kid that tried to carry my 100 pound ruck and 4 other kids jumped in to help him drag it to a redcap's cart.......... That to me was better than all the gold, the awards or paper praise that one could receive for their service. Your gift reminded me of that time when I experienced the praise America showed me in person.........thanks !!

Bless ya Sir ........Squantos !!

Very good, Rick, and Squantos!

Rick, I did see that you've begun populating the Bloggit Hole. If you'd like help uploading your many back posts here so they are there also, I'd be happy to. Hubby just has to build me a permission!

The schedule is one reason I wouldn't like a video lecture series (the other being that I expect at least one of my kids to be like me, better able to understand the written word than the spoken word).

Mom always had us on a year-round school schedule, eight weeks on and two weeks off, with flexibility as needed for vacations, really nice days, and other treats... although my favorite "week off" is the one I took in high school that nobody knew about. I was working at that point on my own, with Mom scheduling me three weeks' worth of stuff and me turning it all in at once, and there was one week I just decided to do nothing but math (community college classes, less flexibility) and read a fantasy series. It was great fun!

I'll be plenty busy just putting up my ramblings on the how and why of knives and gadgets. You're perfectly welcome to start a section on feedback and testimonials we've received. With proper respect for opsec, of course. I think one way or another I've sent you all the good words that have been said.

So where, exactly, are they, and did they give you any indication of when they expect to arrive?

Glad to hear the trip is going smoothly for them! Thanks for giving them a friendly face along the way.

They are, I guess, about four hours west of Elkhart. Perhaps the western edge of the Greater ChicagoLand Area.

They expect to be in Talon territory tonight.
