Homeschool Substitute Teacher Day

That lovely lady is one of my oldest friends, Sarah, who has lived in Paris (yes, that Paris) for the last 25 years with her Parisian husband and their three children. She is visiting California this week and stopped to stay with us for three days. One of the reasons I haven't been around to visit your blogs or even to update mine is because Sarah and I can talk for hours. Hours and hours and hours. The only way we break up the talk is by laughing at something we're talking about. Right now, I've snuck away for a moment to come here, and Sarah is teaching a writing lesson to Oliver in my stead. Sarah is an accomplished journalist, so Oliver is learning from a master. I don't know how long I can stay away from her, though, before intruding for some more conversation and laughter.
