| Seining on the Paluxy last week, in between mommy's bouts of bronchitis. |
― Henry David Thoreau
This week began the second week of our
Fall term for the homeschool year. Coincidentally, it also marked the second
week of bronchitis for mom. Yep, slow and steady seems to be the practical
virtues needing practiced in our home. These virtues, that you may have
already deduced, I still have much need of practice.
Even with the minor setback of
bronchitis and mounting duties that I am falling behind on, this week has
served much use in the area of contemplating, reevaluating and prayer.

| Nothing like some surprise "happy mail". I got a huge care package from my friend in New Jersey, and her two young sisters helped out. Heather "Mac-n-Cheese" is their name for me. Kids just get me! |
