Hi Nancy,

>> CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS MESSAGE <<


 RH> I had a bit of that when I taught Deborah in our mother's co-operative
 RH> preschool in TX and was Girl Scout troop leader for Rachel for a year
 RH> in Germany.

 NB> Having observed for a while now, I'm of the opinion that not every
 NB> situation is viable for homeschooling... it is very nice for many
 NB> families, probably even the best option for some... but there are some
 NB> children that just aren't good candidates for homeschooling, and some
 NB> parents that aren't particularly cut out to teach, either... and some
 NB> parent-child combinations that just don't work for it...

True, I probably could have done it with Rachel easier than Deborah.


 NB>  NB>> We sent him to Christian school (two different ones) thru 8th
 NB> grade,  NB>> and then to a public high school that had both the
 NB> academics and
 NB>  NB>> technical training... I think that any time you send your kids
 NB> to  NB>> school, there will be some supplementation at home
 NB> necessary... I  NB>> did a fair bit along the way, too...  :)

 RH> To ensure the kid gets a good education, it has to be done.

 NB> Quite.

Rachel cut her reading teeth on the comics in the local newspapers. (G)


 NB>  NB>> I don't ever remember having lasagna at home, either that Mommy
 NB> made  NB>> or that we girls made (the boys were too young still by the
 NB> time I  NB>> left home)...  I'm sure I must have had it, like at
 NB> church dinners, or  NB>> restaurants or something, before I tried
 NB> making it on my own... I got  NB>> my recipe probably from a cookbook
 NB> (possibly from the box, though)...

 RH> We had some at a local Italian restaurant--similar to what my MIL
 RH> makes so we knew what Mom made was not the real thing. She could pass
 RH> it off on us when we were young but as we got older and knew the good
 RH> stuff, she quit making it. Then I met/married Steve...................

 NB> Aww... you could have just eaten her version, and called it something
 NB> else...  ;)  Unless it was totally lousy, though, I guess...  :)

It was totally lousy--the only resemblence to the real thing was the
noodles. BTW, I made some lasagne last night, used the no boil noodle
sheets. I'll go back to regular noodles.

 NB>  RH>>> No, that's why I call it the "Vanishing Lemon Pound Cake". (G)
 NB>  NB>>> Indeed.  :)
 NB>  RH>> I'll have to make one some time when I know we'll be seeing you.
 NB> (G)  NB>> Someday...  :)
 RH> Somewhere............
 NB> Yup...  ;)
 RH> When the time is right, you will get to try it.

 NB> Maybe at a picnic sometime...  :)  Or the equivalent...  :)

We'll try to get to the next one, last couple have been on the same week
end as family committments.

Catch you later,
