A special visitor

We have had a special visitor with us since we returned from Montana....  Flat Colter!  I love this school project.  We had Kyla here a few years ago.  They get "flattened" and sent all over the place to visit.  The mail is much cheaper than plane tickets!

Here is Colter after he ate lasagna with us for supper.  I think he may have spilled on his pants.  Mattie found it and licked it clean...

We're sending Colter on his way.  Don't be surprised if he ends up in your mailbox soon!  He will be traveling until March...

Ready or Not... Here it comes!

We have had an extraordinary fall...  I will miss these days of bright, crisp sunshine with the scent of cottonwood leaves in the air.  There is just no denying it; winter is coming.  Today we got our first dusting of snow.  Hopefully winter will bless us with an abundance of sunshine.  It has a most amazing way of reflecting off the snow and making the winter world bright indoors and out.  That is what I look forward to this winter.

Open forum about Home-Ec (FACS)

Does anyone have any good memories of a Home-Ec class?

Or do you have a child who has taken a Life Skills or FACS class?

What about that class was your favorite (if you took one)?

If your kids will soon be old enough to take a Life Skills or FACS class, what do you think they should learn?

I am so open to ideas!  While I'm going to school, I always have the sideline thought of what I'm going to teach next semester and how I'll do it....  It's really quite exciting and sometimes quite overwhelming - depending on my psyche at the moment!

The program is open.  I've been given lots of freedom to choose what I teach.  What are your thoughts and ideas?

I will deeply appreciate each thought!!!!
