I have to admit there were just a handful of issues that didn't have much appeal to me personally, but we can use those for school work/collages, etc. I so miss MEHC. Marqueta, so true! I love being able to haul everything outside on a lovely day. I think I hear the playhouse calling, "Clean me up for fall!" Carrie, LOL I feel like an OGRE sometimes too. I am sure your Labor Day start will be wonderful. I can't wait for my little greenhouse! I'll be sure and post pictures. :) Lynn April, I am keeping most of mine, in spite of weeding out old magazines.

I love reading about your school days...takes me to such a different place...we are gearing up for school and will officially begine next week...ON LABOR DAY...fitting start...but what my children do not know is that this "OGRE" mom for making them all start on a holiday is going to have it be a really fun day....more of an open house! I am so glad you are loving your AO...and that it is such a great fit for you! Blessings, C~ Lynn,

How wonderful to have the freedom of choosing your own books, etc., and where to do your schooling. What could be better than reading outside on a blanket? Love, Marqueta Dear Lynn,

I pull the seasonal issues out and read them again every two months, as time allows. I am sure the bunnies would love to spend time in the greenhouse--they would feel quite kin to Peter Rabbit, then, I imagine!

We've made an excellent start this year! I know what you mean about having the liberty as homeschoolers to take picnics and such! :) Ken, you are way above my head on the calculus stuff, but we watched an educational video I got from the homeschool conference a few years back and it did talk about his lecturing/interpersonal skills. I think his accomplishments are especially amazing considering he started life out frail and small enough to "fit in a quart jar." Wow. :) Lynn Jeanne, thank you!

In our "smartest man in the world" discussions, Newton is above even Einstein on our list. My understanding was that he was a horrible lecturer, spent a ton of time on alchemy, wrote more on theology than science, and operated way out of the mainstream of science as it was being practiced over on the continent. We also believe he <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_and_Newton_calculus_controversy" rel="nofollow">beat Leibniz</a> to the discovery of calculus, but that is a little bit of a religious discussion :-). We are envious of the Princess in her study of that great man. We are HUGE Issac Newton fans. In our “smartest man in the world” discussions, Newton is above even Einstein on our list.

We love it too!! Spring has sprung around here - we're off on a picnic!! Yay. So glad Jemimah's not in school on a day like this! I’m so glad you’re loving AO. We love it too!!

I believe that particular magazine was an old Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, one of my favorites of all time, but sadly no longer in print. Becky, we have a bunch of old windows that we plan to use. Aren't they pretty? I love old, weathered things I still feel like I can't believe it. April, thank you so much. :) I have wanted a potting shed/greenhouse for I don't know how long! I cannot believe I might actually get one! It'll be nice to start seeds in, grow lettuce in, sprouts, etc. I think we'll have more year-round. I'm wondering if the bunnies would like to live in it some. ;) Trinity Mommy, thank you so much.
