Shortly before midnight last night, I met my goal of finishing all school prep and making a new (quite complicated) schedule for the family for the fall. I fell into bed one happy woman. And we are ready to go tomorrow morning.

And yes, this week is the start of our monster homeschool co-op at Granny's House. We have around 50 kids enrolled in PE, Latin, logic, and piano, and lots of moms and little ones coming for a variety of activities. I'll let you know if we survive!

I have been gorging myself on yellow squash this week, thanks to sweet friend Lora who sent us enough to feed an army our family for days! Thank you, Lora!

Then there's reading...The Mill on the Floss was a joy this week. Okay, so I didn't like the ending that much but it's a beautiful story...and the first George Eliot I've ever read. Unless something was wasted on me in high school that I don't even remember...

To this week's raging debate on Sarah Palin, add another beautifully thought-out and balanced view from the inimitable Al Mohler. Both his applause and his concerns are stated with grace.

Time is short tonight and so are the snippets. Have a great week!
