We finished up the IG for week 4. It is hard to believe we have already finished 2 books; almost 3! We worked at "The Giving Tree" again this week. It is the food pantry that our church owns. I am so glad we are working there and volunteering our time and effort towards good things. I'm really glad that Dd is excited to go and work! I hope her attitude stays this positive. Dd has been practicing her basketball skills. She has been baking cakes, cookies and making lots of ice cream from scratch. She is getting carried away!! We had a nice tea party with some friends and brought cookies to contribute.

Moccasin Trail by Eloise Jarvis McGraw
Moccasin Trail--we have only 1 chapter left (maybe 2)-- We are really enjoying this book! I really don't want it to end! We could have finished it; but I kind of don't want to! I know, I know! I will finish it soon...but, I will miss visiting with Jim Keath! I really like his character. He left his white parents. He was attacked by a grizzly bear, and was found 1/2 alive from some Crow Indians. They nursed him back to life and finished raising him for around 6-9 years. He left his Indian parents - again running away from things. He eventually realizes he doesn't fit in the white world or the Indian world. He is walking on the line between both and an outsider to both cultures. Who among us doesn't sometimes feel the same way? He decides to pick one over the other and try to make compromises to fit in.
Dd is still reading Freedom Train--about Harriet Tubman.
The other books she is reading right now:
