I have a three day weekend coming up, lots of work to do, and not enough time to right a thoughtful post so I thought I would just write about a few disconnected things I want to get recorded so I do not forget:
- Our read aloud program has pretty much fallen apart over the last couple of weeks. We are rethinking the video blogging as we have not been very inspired by the books we were reading about that. I think we still want to do some video blogging, but we are thinking that we might want it to be more about blogging than about video production. This is one thing that might need to wait until the start of summer vacation.
- It is supposed to rain every day this weekend except Sunday. Our outdoor projects–building another raised bed, spreading more bark dust, installing rain barrels, etc.–might have to be postponed for a week or two.
- Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita are talking about coming to North Carolina from Monterrey in May. We are going to try to talk one or two of the uncles into coming with them. Of course everyone is excited about that.
- We are in preliminary planning with Lorena’s brothers to build a palapa and a fence around the family property in Allende, N.L. to use as a weekend picnic spot.
- Only three more days until Kelly’s next CLEP test (US History II).
- Lorena finally has all her transcripts to the local community college and should be able to go in for advising on finishing her degree sometime next week.
- Christian and I are planning to set up a web server (Ubuntu LAMP stack) this weekend with one of the old computers.
- Aunt Julia is coming to visit a week from Monday for two days.
That is not much, but that is all I got today.
