Homeschool Program

As most of you know, we homeschool our children. Three have graduated and we have three more and 13 years to go.
I’ve been invited to try Time4Learning for one month in exchange for a candid review. My opinion will be entirely my own, so be sure to come back and read about my experience. Time4Learning can be used as a homeschool curriculum, for afterschool enrichment and for summer skill sharpening. Find out how to write your own curriculum review for Time4Learning.
Can't wait to see how the kids like this one. We've tried every program under the sun, some good some not so good. I need something a little easier on me as the Mom.
We will try it out and let you know how it goes.

___New Adventures

All I want for Christmas is this...


I know...it looks horrible but it won't when I get through with it!! Hopefully!


Some more ugly shots for you to almost gag over...




I have plans to make this 1971 Metzendorf Canned Ham look just like new. Well, not like it was when it was new but all new inside. I believe it will be too tough to get to vintage state but lets just say it will look good!

Our friend is giving it to us. I think he got overwhelmed after taking some of it apart.
I will take my time as we are almost finished with the Tear and we can now camp in that.
No hurry on this one.
Our Tear is our pride and joy so the plans for this one is to be able to bring more friends along camping who wouldn't normally camp or who wouldn't like to stay in a tent. uck! This will have all the modern conveniences of home.

I think Husband is not too sure about this one. I'm guessing his philosophy is "If mama ain't happy, then nobody's happy" He's so wonderful!! :o)

___Clean Snowmen!!

Yeah!! This is the first year we will have clean snowmen!!

Hopefully as nice as this one.


Yesterday I cleaned up all the leaves around the yard. First time it's ever been done. C helped me and we got it done in no time. The whole time all I could think about was clean snowmen. hummmm??!!

___Winter Cleaning

I cleaned up around the shop today. The things that just get left and forgotten until I look out my door and notice them. Uggg! I'm sure other people notice all that junk when they drive by or visit. Can't control it all. It's a mess!

I sometimes feel like our place looks like this....


I would like it to look like this...


The motivation level would be so much higher to create in there if I had a shop like Norm's. Inside and out!!! ha

Oh well, it does look better today than it did yesterday.
I'm thinking of staining it an olive green color. Maybe that would be better than the ugly old grey that is painted on everything around this depressing place. Yuck!!

___Way Too Dissapointed!

Again I haven't posted in a little while. I've gotten discouraged with the whole Teardrop thing. I'm bummed! We didn't get to camp at all this year and the season has passed here in Pennsylvania. We've been building for an entire year and I'm just, well, sad!


I have to remind myself that next season is coming and we will get out there. I guess good things come to those who wait. Uggg!
Our friends, T and J came over yesterday to help hubby with some things of which T has some expertise. They too are building a Tear. We talked of our first trip and when it shall be so that is pacifying me....this week.

___Privacy

Wow, it's been a little since I've posted.
We've put the door handles and windows on the Tear. Windows went in so easy but the handles took some tweeking. They now close and lock.







I've signed up for Road Trip Journal. You can click on the right. Not too sure what it's all about yet but I will do some lurking and find out more. Found it on FaceBook.

___Knock Knock!

We have some doors that actually swing open and closed. The diamond plate is also installed down the sides of the walls.



Next step is the windows and we still need to find where to get the side trim. We have one company searching for us and I need to call them to see if they can get it. If not we will need to pay a pretty penny for what we really want I'm afraid. argghhh!! It will come together, I keep telling myself.
