Happy 1st Anniversary tor Homeschool Spot and to ya'll!

Hey Deena...

Who'd think we'd still be here! I wonder how long everyone was with ABC Teach. Geeze, I know I was there, it seems like 3 years....but now can't remember..I know I have paid at least twice for the annual membership, so I'm think 3 years all together..

Anyway, thanks too to Amanda for keeping us all together, we have all become a LITTLE :lol: attached to each other.

Thanks for reminding us Deena and we are so glad that so many newbies have joined us

Blessings

 

Hasn't this year just flown by?! I can't believe we've been here for a whole year.

Thanks so much, Amanda, for creating this "home" for us to congregate in. You've been so wonderful at making us feel welcome and helping us work out the little "quirks" we've experienced here and there. I hope we've been more of a blessing to you than a pain, because you're a blessing to us!

 

A YEAR???? Where does the time go? whew! Seems like I just blinked 5 months ago. :lol: The blink before that was when I was first looking into homeschooling about 2.5 - 3 years ago. Yikes!

Amanda - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for providing us a great place to swap ideas, vent and get some great advice from each other. It wouldn't be possible without your generosity. THANK YOU!!!! If you ever head to Bryan, TX let me know and I'll bake you a cake! :lol:

 

Thanks

Thanks

Lorna

 

Yeah,

I really enjoy our little "community"! This has been very educational for me as well as for my children!

Hey Tina and Sheila, why dontcha plan a "little" fieldtrip...say, about summer of 2007, to....hmmm, maybe PHILADELPHIA?!!! :lol:

 

I didn't even think about it until you mentioned. Time has flew. I hope everyone has enjoyed being here for a year I know I have. Let's throw a party for everyone.

 

Party in Philadelphia

Start saving for the trip of 2007 to Philadelphia to see King Tut's things.

 

A virtual party? I'm in! I'll make homemade icecream!!! So Tina and She, what's this about you wanting to join us in Philly?

 

Thanks from me, too! I need this place as much as my curriculum and homeschool group! Warm fuzzies to Amanda and everyone here....

So Philly is the place to be in '07, huh?! My mom was born there and she is an Ancient Egypt nut.....maybe we could swing a trip.....(but I woulda considered it just for the Hershey place! :lol: )

 

PHILLY....!!!

Which direction is that? :lol:

Wouldn't that be nice? I know Dh can be talked into a one day drive to Florida, but Philly.....Geeze that seems like the other side of the world from way down South here :shock:

 

Ah, c'mon, Tina!!! When again will your boys get to actually see the East Coast? Think of it as an extended field trip. You can see Philly, Yorktown, DC, New York, head up to Boston and Lexington and Concord, Gettysburg..... Oh, and coming from Texas you'll cross the Appalachian Mts. Virginia's Blue Ridge Parkway (and Shenandoah National Park) is so wonderful! You could head south along the coast to the Outer Banks. Or come home following the old wagons trails that went to Texas........

 

Wow Jackie, That sounds fun! Mind if we join ya for that trip Tina? We'll just fly to Texas and rent a van and drive out with ya! Hey, nevermind, while I'm dreaming, I might as well rent a new RV! :lol:

 

Deena, if you take the Oregon Trail home, we'll hitch a wagon with you!!! (Seriously, I've got relatives in the Seattle area, and one of these days we're taking the Trail West!)

 

Jackie girl,

You gotta head this way and visit us then! That'd be fun! There are lots of neat things to do here in this area!

So, when ya comin'?!

 

Originally, we were saying next summer, but not if we end up going to Philly instead! I've also a good friend out your way, but she's hoping to have come "home" to Ohio by then. They moved out there when they were first married, and her oldest is in college now. But her DH is a pastor, and has begun to seriously look at churches back here.

 

Deana if you are taking an RV just stop in SC and pick up us also. I won't fly so riding in a RV might be relaxing.

 

Start saving your money Tisha cause we are on the van. Yes, my van. Ha Ha Your jeep will get the 3 of you there too. King Tut here we come. I am starting with a cookie jar. If I can get the change before the kids do. LOL

 

Hey Lorna I wanted to ride in comfort. They have a built in potty.

 

You know, how about if Deena starts, and we all just fall in line when she comes by us. She can take the northern route going, stopping in Iowa/Illinois for Brooke, then through Ohio and Pennsylvania, arriving in Philly to see the display. Then she can head south through the southern states and Texas (for Tina and She), then on home. Once she reaches Washington again, she'll fall off and the rest of us will continue on until we get to our "stopping place".

 

Okay Jackie I'm in.
