school daze.

Hello,

things are moving along for school.. Jena still loves science & anything to do with reading.. esp history.

we found a new grammar program.. called Grammar made easy.. she likes that better then the ABeka one.. so that works.

also we are into the pre-algebra .. so far so good.

our pup , Lil Ricky is growing by leaps an bounds. he must weigh about 35 pounds by now.. he is almost 4 months old. he's behaving a bit better , at least he minds me :-) something must translate on the Mom level.. when I yell at him to stop biting Jena he sits right down & gives me the sad 'puppy dog' eyes :-)

I have completed most of my Shadow cabled sweater.. I ran out of yarn . so will have to buy another one. but I think I did a good job on it & it will be a super warm winter cardi.. you can see a close up of one piece before I sewed it together.. I'll post updated pics when I get the front edge done.

I bought a Turkish spindle !! I know.. another hobby.. :-) I can't hardly wait for it to arrive.. once it and the roving arrive I won't want to do anything else :_)
I'll keep you posted on it.

Jena is staying alnight with gram & going to see nanny mcfee at our local theatre.. should be fun..

so have a great day !! write comments when you can.

puppy !?!

Hello,

well as you may remember we had to put our beloved Charlie dog down a yr ago.

since then we have been kind-of looking for another , we knew when the right dog/puppy came along we would know it.

Well Daisha lives in Lincoln NE & a cute little puppy came up on her home school group. SO.................of course we took him.

he is a mastiff / lab mix.. so won't be HUGE , but will be a presence for sure.

also the two breeds are good family dogs, which is important too.

So far he minds me better then anyone else. which is SO nice :_)

with Charlie I would yell KIM ! and Charlie would mind , LOL It worked even if Kim was not home ..
now it seems to work with Kim yells LISA !

I love it..

I am more then half way done with my cardi.. so with the cooler weather just round the corner I am excited to complete & wear it :-)

hope you all enjoy your week..

Lisa
