Posted on March 14, 2012 by K

I will tell you that I, having decided to educate my children myself for as long as I could, waded into teaching them to read with naïve confidence.  And backed out of it astonished at the complexity of the job. … Continue reading →

Posted on February 24, 2012 by K

Here is a post with no moral compass, no philosophy or political opining, no responsible reason for existence.  It’s just about me.  Me, me, me. The Scoots, finally having earned one of Donna’s Buckwheat Days sugar bears. G has taken … Continue reading →

Posted on February 11, 2012 by K

Posted on January 4, 2012 by K

~:: Leaping from the Nest ::~

Posted on December 15, 2011 by K

I don’t even know how to start this.  When I was little, we lived in L.A.  Everything was within walking distance.  The school, for instance.  Two blocks away – long sides.  An uncomplicated walk, it was not uphill and it … Continue reading →

~:: Turkey Day ::~

Posted on November 29, 2011 by K
