Armchair Puzzlers

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Armchair Puzzlers is a great book I happened upon at the thrift store today for 50 cents.  I am elated to have found this book.  It turned out to be one of those books that my children just took an instant liking to and they’ve passed it around now from one person to the next and have read in it constantly for nearly the last five hours.  Really.

Armchair Puzzlers Book - Overstuffed Baffling Puzzlers

Actually, I found quite a few nice books today.

I had to go out today and run some errands and, as is usually the case, there was a thrift store near by.  :)

Go ahead.  Laugh.

But really, who would not get a bunch of new books for a homeschool library for 50 cents each?

There are some other nice books in the bunch besides Armchair Puzzlers.  Two of the books are for my collection.  Cottage Style has got beautiful, relaxing pictures.  That’ll be for me and a cup of tea and my little living room.

Okay.  On to hairdos.

I tried a new hairstyle today that turned out well today.  It felt rather Victorian.  

Put hair in a high ponytail.  Make a small part just above the band that you can slip your thumb and pointing fingers through from underneath.  Flip the ponytail over and pull it down through that part so it comes totally out underneath and hangs down.  This will create two beautiful rolls of hair — one on each side.  I then braided the ponytail and put it in a bun. 

That’s probably not real clear, but it’s the best I can describe it.

Big Joe and I spent quite a bit of time talking about the presidential election process.  I have a unit study on that.  We also spent a great deal of time working on the spelling/writing program we are working on for dyslexics.  I hope to have that on my website in the not-too-distant future.

Wishing you a peaceful Thursday night,
Lynn
