I have gotten tons of emails from faithful readers saying, “Janet, what have you been doing, what are you up to, we hang on your every word!” (that *never* happened)

My camera quit working on me for no good reason (sprayed with sunscreen, dropped countless times, used by a two year old, left out in extreme heat) and so I had to use my handy-dandy, VIP warranty from Best Buy (does Dennis know me or what?) – and they provided me with a brand-new camera, as per our $44.99 agreement – Yeah! But for this post you will have to tolerate pictures taken with my Hipstamatic app.

We’ve been doing this….

We participated in our homeschool clan’s Annual Stone Soup Celebration. It is always a day that makes me happy to be a homeschooler!

We also did this.

This was an impromptu Pokemon game we were generously invited to on one rainy afternoon.

There’s been a snowstorm, a blackout and a halloween party held during the blackout. Nope, I didn’t have my camera for those. So, are we all caught up, Blog?
