 SL- Core E- 

Week 31

This week Dd was invited to her friend GG's VBS at Westlake Community Church.  So we did our lessons after their VBS.  It was not very hard; b/c *I* didn't have to do anything at their VBS!  She had a really, really great time at this big church, that really knew how to put on a MAJOR EFFORT VBS.  I have to say, even I was totally blown away...It was, by far, the most organized, professional, VBS I've ever seen!

Thursday Dd and I worked at our church's food pantry--The Giving Tree.  We filled ordered and restocked the shelves with food that our church had bought; but hadn't put away.  We worked hard!

Kitchen:

This week Dd and Dh made CHEESE from SCRATCH!  They had a good time doing it too!  They made it out of milk and limes.  I liked the taste of it; but Dd wasn't very fond of the bland flavor.  But, they did it the old fashioned way with cheese cloth and that is always good to do!

Nature:

I had brought in a caterpillar and had been feeding it a variety of leaves since I didn't know which it preferred.  It didn't take long for it to curl up and cocoon itself.  Well, this week it hatched!!!  It was a very beautiful, brown bark looking MOTH!  We had never raised a MOTH before!

DVD:

Forgiving Dr. Mengele

This is a movie about the lady we met a few months back when we went to the CANDLES museum in Terra Haute, IN.  She is a survivor of Auschwitz Concentration camp.  Dr. Mengele was a Nazi doctor, that performed medical tests on twin children during the war b/c he had access to all the twin children brought into the camps.  Eva Kor, is the woman we met, who runs the CANDLES museum, who the movie is made about---and the movie is about her forgiving the Nazi's and the monster doctor.
