Our week--without Sonlight still. I am adjusting fine. I think I could just about go solo at this point; but I just love my IG! Monday was Memorial Day so we didn't get book stuff done; but Dd did get a lot of learning in. Dh took Dd fishing and she got 2 fish! I stayed home this time; so no pictures. She made a wonderful Memorial Day lunch for us- baked cod; and salt-baked potatoes. There are pictures below on the next post of her creations. This week she also made cookie bars with a friend on a play date; and then made cookie bars again on Friday. I am thinking she is in a cookie mood! LOL! As a family we worked HARD on our gardens on Monday to finish up our projects. We went through the big delivery of mulch that had been delivered--it is all gone!
Dh is reading The Wind in the Willows to Dd in the evenings. He had never read this story, so he is enjoying it as much as we are. Dd and I have read that story over and over as it is one of our favorites.
