This cheered up our granddaughter, Julia, back when she was about 10 and getting harassed by the mean girls. She is 16 now; still has some issues with traditional reading, but has turned into a fantastic storyteller with quite a following. Most of her stories are thumb-wonders via her phone and posted to a web site.

We have 3 children, and have dabbled in homeschooling on and off (homeschooled grades k,1,2,7,8 for various kids, variety of reasons). This year (grades 7,9,11) we are all back in public school as I have landed a full time job. And when we can't take it any more, we call in sick and bake. You are a great mom and I love your blog.

It seems like a lot to go from the Holy Roman Empire to Spain to Guy Fawkes Day all in one day! Of course we live through Guy Fawkes every year, and it let me tell you it seems much more glamorous than it actually is -- it's mostly just noisy, setting off the car alarms and disturbing the dogs. :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-47009122346422654532013-12-05T09:58:48.745-08:002013-12-05T09:58:48.745-08:00I hope that feeling of sickness passes. Please DO ...I hope that feeling of sickness passes. Please DO update us on homeschooling - it's invigorating to read about what you and O are doing. You are - with your gifts of seeing and describing - giving a voice and face to a situation which is often left unsaid and unseen. I love knowing that your O is now having the school experience of which many of us could only dream...Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-74896301049602767012013-12-05T08:29:09.234-08:002013-12-05T08:29:09.234-08:00Having home schooled my daughter for several years...Having home schooled my daughter for several years, I find your update fascinating.

The shape, the colors, my older-aged brain. <br />You can write about whatever you want to write and it will always be worth reading. I learn so much from you. You are a natural teacher. <br />Now feel better.
