Yesterday we had all kinds of drama in the neighborhood. The big dog of the neighbor in the house on one side of us attacked the little dog from the house on the other side and did a bunch of damage. The little dog’s owner is an older lady who lives by herself while her husband finishes up a stint in Iraq. She has been a good neighbor and was quite distraught. Lorena spent the morning to take her to the vet. It was one of those opportunities to do something for “the least of these” and I am proud to say Lorena came through admirably in the midst of all her running around to take the kids to their swimming lesson (more drama there involving people in difficult/sad situations), guitar lessons and shopping.
It does not slow down today. The plan is for Lorena to run Kelly over to her last CLEP test of the year (Biology) in Smithfield. This morning I used most of the time I set aside for blogging to reorganize the “How to Prepare for a CLEP test” posts. Somehow they had gotten fouled up. Tomorrow, I will write up the report on the Biology CLEP test. It seems odd to me that Kelly is half way through all of these tests. These were to be the capstone to our entire homeschool effort, not so much as goals unto themselves, but as an assurance that we covered the material. Well, we are now well into them with Kelly doing her eighth of sixteen and Christian having completed his first. There is still a lot of hard work in front of us, but it is nice to have the end in sight.
