Revisiting the Decision

School started for E last week. We were at the farm and missed the first 3 days. We are revisiting our decision. Wouldn't it be easier just to ship her off Monday thru Friday 8:30-3:00? More later.

But I'll miss all my friends.

Says E.

The Last Straw

We decided today. It's Tashtego's Homeschool for E. next semester. She is 13. I am 52. Tashtego is a tri-color collie, aged 14 in dog years.
