{this moment}

Dear Dad,

I want to tell you thank you.

All those years you served your country,

I now understand

That you also served your family, past, present and future,

Hoping to preserve the freedom to live…

To live a life free

To pursue life to the fullest.

It cost you greatly,

And us too,

But Dad, today

I simply want to thank you.

Monday, October 25 was declared a SNOW DAY.  Marme had lots to do to wrap up the plans for the last 2 weeks of this term’s lessons and prepare for our assessment later this week.

Wednesday, October 27

We put in two pins ~ one for us, and one for the place where I was born and mostly grew up, just becuase there was a big empty place all over tornado alley. 

 

Haha. I just read over that, I meant empty of pins, not that Tornado Alley is empty. Okay, the Coconut Mocha, free wifi and that comment has me giggling…

A trip to town to pick up Chica’s glasses.  A morning full of lesson wrap ups.  I did poorly at getting our history readings done this week.  But we finished Science for the term and I can have some fun with history “double time” next week.

Here is a photo from the Chainsaw Carving Collection in town.

As the darkness faded

into light

Chica peeked out to a world

dimly bright.

IT’S A SNOWY DAY!

May I PLEASE go out

And play?

Before long sleepy Mae & Rose

Heard the joy

From Jams to Coats

They flew, to join

The SNOWFLAKE DANCE.
