We have a conflict in the house that needs to be addressed. Christian loves to do science experiments more than just about any other part of homeschool. Yesterday, he prepared and experiment to grow some different kinds of corn and beans. The kinds of science he finds interesting are inherently messy. Messiness drives Lorena nuts. Somehow, I have to find a place for Christian to do his experiments that can get a little bit messy without driving Lorena crazy. One thing we might do is build a lab on skids. Another option might be to buy an old camp trailer that we can mostly gut. Something where we could habe water and electrical, a little hotwater heater, a chemistry bench, a computer desk, a general purpose workbench, a benchtop mill, a benchtop lathe, etc. It might be a good summer project just to get the thing started.
On the way to our Wednesday night bible study last night, we hit a skunk. It really smelled up the car, so Lorena will have to go get the car washed when she takes the kids to their piano lessons at the Hickenloopers in Jefferson. It smelled really bad. The people in our meeting said we did not smell, but they might have just been being gracious.
