I was born a tinker, and I've finally found a place where it fits in. Give me a problem, and I'll find a solution to it!

A Good Reminder for My Fall Season

The author of this article expressed so clearly what I know in my heart but sometimes am tempted to forget to protect. The questions that we get asked are opportunities to interact, not waste with snide remarks or indignation.

From the ALHFAM Bulletin, written by Carrie Fellows, Fall 2006.

Our WWW -Wonderful Westville Weekend

Margaret and I spent Friday and Saturday at Historic Westville in Lumpkin, GA. They had a Homeschoolers' Day on Friday and a Family Day on Saturday.

Margaret spent her days in the kitchen of the log cabin homestead. It was really nice to use a full hearth and that gave her the chance to use the reflector oven and small bird roaster. She prepared some nice dishes and found a few ways to get some hands-on experience for the homeschoolers. They ground spices, made "pounded" biscuits, snapped beans, and let them compare raw and roasted coffee beans.








Meanwhile, I was in one of the shops up the road, set up as a tin shop. It was pleasant to have such a great building to use. The director decided that they will continue to use the building as a demonstration site in the future. It had been an office for the last few years.
All in all, it was a Wonderful Westville Weekend
