In the Learning Room – I have declared an official break other than math. Yes, we are still puddling along in math this year. I don’t plan to start back until mid August after the family relocation. I am, however, planning our school year for next year and making book list and buying what I can, when I can. Still undecided about math for K-Doodle. But that is another post.
Operation Relocation – We have found the house, signed the contract and had the home inspection. All is good for now. The home appraisal has been ordered. We are now in a holding pattern as far as the actual closing. Around the house, we are clearing out and decluttering. We have been pulling things out for a garage sale this weekend. We might be sorry, but we are planning one for Saturday morning bright and early. The fact that the girls get to keep what they make off their own goodies has proved to be good incentive to let go of a few things.
In the Kitchen – Keeping it simple. We are also trying to use up what we have so that we don’t have to move so many frozen items. Our stockpile is growing however. C-Sunshine and I have been doing some coupon shopping and are building quite the stockpile.
Summer Sizzle – We are going to try and keep some sizzle and fun in our summer even though we are moving to a new town. Last week the girls attended VBS at a local church. Our parish cancelled VBS this year, so we piggybacked on someone else’s.

C-Sunshine is also attending a Keeper’s club bi-weekly and I am doing a Bible Study with some other homeschool mom’s. The kids swim and the mom’s meet. Works out nicely. This week I plan to check into some of the local drama camps and the reading program at the library. Maybe a sewing class or two?
Praying for - a dear friend Kristin who’s father just past away. Her family is in Turkey on a missionary trip. Wishing them safe travel and God’s sweet embrace during this difficult time.
Thinking of – Plans for the new house and what new (or new to us) furniture that we will need. Also thinking of all the things that need to be done before the closing, packing and moving. Dreaming of a day when I can feel settled again. How I long to drink a hot cup of tea on a cold afternoon in the warmth of my house while my girls hum away doing a craft together………..
A Picture thought I am sharing……..
