There are days when my email is just loaded with all kinds of goodies. I can join in a debate going on between left and right-wing homeschoolers about a list of books that should not be read, I can get directions to go see a rare white buffalo , I can track those items I ordered from LL Bean.
The living gets easy when I’m winding down the school year. Well, I never actually ring the “dismissal” bell at our school, we just switch gears from being bookworms to traveling fools.
We have our list for this summer. COSI is at the top, followed closely by Niagara Falls , Quebec City , Prince Edward Island. We also want to buy those kayaks and spend a few days at a lake, maybe near the white buffalo's farm, learning all the “stuff” we’ll need to know to take them to Cabbage Key this winter. Yep, our summer is planned. Now if we could just finish the work in the Algebra book!

Life
as a homeschooler and in constant daily contact with a highly gifted student
brings an energy I can't explain, yet drains me; makes me think about
things in a new way, yet causes me to stick with tried and true methods;
makes me strive for accomplishing all the tasks I need to, yet causes
me to think forward to the time my student will go to bed and I can have
a cup of tea and listen to Jimmy Buffet in peace and quiet. Eclectic.
That's the description of the path I am enjoying on my journey right now.
Eclectic is also our homeschool "style". We do what works. We
dig in the dirt or the beach sand, we kayak on rivers, we read, we travel.....
