Last night at about 1AM I finsihed reading ‘The Last Lecture’ by Randy Pausch. I have to admit it has been a long while since I have found a book I simply could not put down but Randy’s was just that. I had watched video’s of Randy on YouTube and www.thelastlecture.com and my one regret about finding this book and it’s companion video is that I did not find it while the author/speaker was still alive.

With the increasing heat and the swealtering, umm almost summer, sun this post will once again focus on homeschooling outside while taking advantage of the wonderful weather most of the world seems to be experiencing. One ongoing activity that can be enjoyed by the whole family is gardening.

I have found the easiest thing to do is keep a box full of little trinkets and when they do something exceptional like master a new skill or do something nice for one another or even take the initiative to do the dishes they get to choose one thing from the box.

March 17 marks a holiday with a very colorful history. St. Patrick’s Day began in the fifth century as a religious day in celebration of St. Patrick. Every year on St. Patrick’s Day families would go to church in the morning and then celebrate with a huge feast in the afternoon. These are not particularly the type of activities we think of today when the topic of St. Patrick’s Day comes up.
