June 24-28th, 2013 SL- Core E- Week 30
We completed week 30 of Core E this week. But, we didn't manage to get through all the chapters we were suppose to get through--so I don't know if I should say "completed"!!! But, next week we might catch up!
I spent Monday cleaning up our house and didn't get to spend much time on our lessons until late in the afternoon. We had our yard sale on Fri. and Sat. and Giz and Grampy stayed for dinner. Then Sunday we went to church and enjoyed our day of rest...in our fine mess!!! It was hard to wait for Monday to get here so I could finally get to cleaning!

| This old book is the version we found in a "FREE" pile at our library. We are really enjoying it. Imagine our surprise when we found out it is a Newbery Honor book! The dialect is difficult for Dh to read, as the vocabulary is different than today's English; but it is fascinating to hear. |
Tree of Freedom - Newbery Honor Books by Rebecca Caudill and Dorothy Bayley Morse
Tree of Freedom by Rebecca Caudill
When 13 year old Stephanie made the long trek from Carolina to Kentucky
in the spring of 1780, she brought with her an apple seed. Even so had
her Grandmother Linney carried an apple seed from France to Charleston.
The seed that Stephanie nurtured in the wild Kentucky soil, the "tree of
freedom" as she called it, was not merely a link with the past, but a
symbol of the new way of life that the pioneering families meant to
build in the fresh green land.
More than just a story of homesteading, this is a warm and interesting
study of character and family relationships. The numerous line drawings
by Mrs. Morse pleasingly round out the picture of the seven Venables.
