T is for Teenager….I have 2 and 1 tween and an almost (ahem) 21 yr old. For a bit last year I had 3 teenagers…. I know some families choose to send their kids to public high school so that can get a ‘real’ diploma. We are not one of those families. My opinion…
Ahhhh the dog days of summer…..or in our case Summer School. Yes, we still have fun. We still go to the beach. We just do a little school first. Not because I am an ogre. It’s because, honestly, a slacker. All of December we didn’t do one lick of school work. I have decided, if…
R is for Reading….or I guess this could be B is for Books We read A LOT of books in this house. E14 has been known to burn the midnight oil reading…. They like to read anything from the Sunday funnies to the dictionary to To Kill a Mockingbird….

Last weekend we went to Bird Aviation Museum in Sagle, ID. It was Dr. Bird’s 90th Birthday. He was there, but I didn’t get a picture….he was inundated with people and I didn’t want to bug. This was a public event…not like we are personal friends or anything. This wasn’t our first time here…in…
