We went to the Marion County Fair on Saturday to see Jordan Ramsdell play his fiddle in a talent show. He did great, getting third place and $100. The two people ahead of him were pretty pathetic and there was at least one girl after him that should have won, but got nothing at all. I thought is was a pretty good view into popular culture and political correctness in America.
Kelly is going to play three songs on her piano at a talent show at the Albany Library this morning. She will be playing Arabesque, Fur Elise, and Linus and Lucy. She is really getting to be a super piano player and she loves to do it so that makes us quite happy.
We took my second cousin, Tim Meekum to gospel meeting on Sunday afternoon. We were all happy to have some time with him again. After meeting, Jim and Joann Waldo invited us to their place for brownies and ice cream. Joe Layman and Kevin Wilson were there with us, too. It was good to be with them a little. There will be three weeks of gospel meeting on Wednesdays and Sundays at the Electrical Union hall in Tangent until they go to convention.
I have pretty much figured out what I am going to buy from Sonlight for the kids homeschool next year. I will get Kelly the Comprehensive package for fifth grade with Singapore Math levels 4b/5a. For Christian, I will get the Advanced reader Core package with Singapore Math levels 2b/3a. I might have to add something to the package, but that should be a good place to start. We can make adjustments as needed.
