Lydia's School-------English, Spelling, Health

I don't know if we will get around to the Abeka health book. It has a workbook with it.......I might just have Lydia read this book and if something strikes her, like a knee bone, we will do further reading.

The Language Helps book is from 1928.......this could be a very interesting book.........morals have changed in this country. I guess I will see if English has too!

Language 3 is from Abeka also.........it has grammar, creative writing skills (of which Lydia does not need) and dictionary skills. Lots of fill in the blank work. I don't know for sure how far we will go with grammar this year.......there's plenty of time for that later on.

I'm not too pleased with her spelling books. She has the rest of an undone workbook from last year, some workbooks from Abeka and a Word Book. I will have to do some thinking on this subject. I jot down the words Lydia spells wrong in her work, then I have her copy them and learn them correctly......

Spelling, health and English..........

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs "Who are the men who are most discontented? but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything." (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper. How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used. So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books. It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite. You were our first baby and we were so excited for you. Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me. You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on. You were such a fun little girl to read to. You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other. *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*. You have alw...
