I remember vividly the few times in my life when the transfer was not as democratic and rule-based as we would like it to be.<BR/><BR/>How does all this fit into your thoughts and homeschool program?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-58807631456481046282008-03-22T00:39:00.000-04:002008-03-22T00:39:00.000-04:00Renae, thanks for your kind compliments.

You did a great job!<BR/><BR/>Can I make a small comment about hiring servants? Cleaning can be a lucrative business. I earn as much money per hour cleaning houses as many professionals.

I didn't want to impose on your class, that's why I told shira we could do something at home, but if you want to do it in class, I am game. Or, we could walk them over to my home and do it in my dining room. That might be easier.Shezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165727341717139605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-23958646551912186732008-03-20T10:14:00.000-04:002008-03-20T10:14:00.000-04:00Shez!

Maybe we can have a joint effort tea party for the last day of class or something? What do you think? I haven't gotten as far as you have in learning the rules and etiquette but was planning on doing so. We have food issues: Shira, you know; Abigael who cannot have any tree nuts, peanuts, dairy or egg. I was thinking of having a tea party at the houseboat, rather than in class but think we might have a better turnout in class...I'm assuming you'll share you tea party with me :-)Cerwydwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03008725997423562909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-10444259709148845112008-03-19T20:46:00.000-04:002008-03-19T20:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments.

VA Homeschoolers is a great organization and the only way it can remain so is if we, the homeschoolers in VA volunteer to keep it going.<BR/><BR/>Lydia, my plan is to keep it between 10 and 20 entries an edition. I'd like to have a combination of interesting activities to do with our children and thought provoking and perhaps controversial articles.<BR/><BR/>I was very excited when I found Tea Party Girl's blog. After Shira came home from Co-op in tears because the tea party re-inactor did not arrive, I promised to do a tea party for her and her friends.<BR/><BR/>I grew up with Sunday afternoon tea parties so I know most of the drill but I didn't know all the finer details. I've been loving reading about all the ins and outs of tea drinking. <BR/><BR/>I think I am going to invite the girls from the book club and give them a tea lesson and tea party. It will be a hoot.Shezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165727341717139605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369726295282299526.post-10640280853787341432008-03-19T19:53:00.000-04:002008-03-19T19:53:00.000-04:00GREAT carnival!
