Shakespeare is so rich in language, character, and themes that are timeless.If I may be so bold...(not knowing the guidelines of your homeschool program) I'd like to suggest you and Joseph veiw the play. My students and I do it one act at a time. And view it only after reading and much discussion of the section read. I believe Shakespeare's work was meant to be experienced on multiple levels. And if a stage production is not in the cards the film is a nice substitute. As I mentioned earlier I am not yet familiar with Charlotte Mason but that is about to change! I asked for and recieved a copy of Charlotte Mason Education by C. Levison and Charlotte Mason Companion by K. Andreola for Christmas. I've read Eucation and am starting C.M.Companion. Thank you for the inspiration. I currently have three former home schooled students and if nothing else it will help me understand how they learn best. Diane P.S. I really enjoyed your thrift store finds and your creative spin! I am starting production of my 2nd Dollhouse-a Gothic Victorian. How did Princess like her new doll house? Have a day filled wwith adventure and joyous discovery! Di Hi Lynn,

I thought you would like it. Also, thank you so much for identifying the plant in a previuos picture and I would LOVE some seeds, but only if you have time, and I want to send you something. :) Demeca, I LOVE that quote. I need to post that somewhere in my office so that I can think of it everyday. You know how I can tend to get blue, and when I do it affects not only my place here, but my whole family's.

I read a wonderful quote that reminds and confirms what was said about happiness. Home is your emotional garden of love. A man wrote this. He was truly inspired. I agree!
