Since we are taking a break from active schoolwork this week - and will be taking a number of breaks through the summer - I thought maybe doing a Random 5 on Friday (a link hosted at The Pebble Pond) might be a good replacement for the full Homeschool Mother's Journal that I usually do. Just to keep it a little simpler.
- So we took a break from school this week, supposedly so I could finish up the grading and do final report cards. Have I finished doing the grading? No. No, I have not. So guess what I'll be working on during the weekend...
- Our AAA membership may have been the smartest money we've spent this year. In the past six months, we have called upon AAA to pull a car out of a snow-filled ditch; to winch a van out of the mud; to jump-start a van with a suspected dead battery (but it turned out to be the starter); to tow that van to a shop; and to deliver a few gallons of gas to a stranded vehicle. And this past week, we used the towing service again, when our son's car sprang a coolant leak on the way home from a church dinner.
- Chorizo is my new favorite food. I am considering whether it's possible to wrap the chorizo in bacon, and I don't know why it wouldn't be. I'll let you know how it turns out when we try it.
- I think I might be able to finish the book Voyager by Diana Gabaldon this weekend. I am loving the Outlander series, but goodness those books are L-O-N-G! I finished Sabrina's Man by Gilbert Morris and commented on it on my book blog, Just A Second.
- In keeping with my habit on my HMJ posts, I will continue to include a list of my blog entries from the previous week, and other links that I recommend.
On my blog this week...
- Chats on the Farmhouse Porch #142
- Virtual Refrigerator: Art from the Archives
- F is for First Day
- Beauty Captured: Days 301-306
- Eating the Americas: Perfect for Summer
- Scripture and a Snapshot: June 1, 2014
I recommend... the Schoolhouse Crew blog, as always. Specifically, here are the reviews and the Crew Round-up from this past week:
A parting shot...
