I've been told in the past that I should blog but for some reason, mostly lack of time, I have not done it.  I certainly enjoy other people's blogs though.  It always seems like a nice newsy letter just for you, even though it could and might be read by millions of people depending on the content, and a stand in for a diary. I have valiantly begun diaries over the years and really enjoy reading historical entries but I tend to run out of steam after a few months.

Anyway, I made a resolution this year that I'd begin to blog and was just reminded by an e-mail updating someone else's blog that I have been a bit of a slow starter, so since I have a few minutes

Right now I live in Washington State in a suburb of Seattle with my three kids, 7, 5, and 4 whom I homeschool. My son goes to a private Christian kindergarten three days a week, and he started class yesterday.  However we all just got back from a lovely 3 week vacation to visit my parents in VA so I am really taking some time to ramp up.  We did math this morning and then had a snack and I really haven't corralled them back to work on spelling or history.  Then they have dentist appointments in the afternoon -- and it is raining.   I did sign up for the rain part when we decided to move to Washington, and I do enjoy being inside and not having to go out.  Rain is the perfect reading weather -- curled up in a nice armchair by a fire.  Our house has one of those gas fireplaces where all you do is push a button.  So easy!

Well, having fulfilled my new Year's resolution to begin a blog, I will do my best to keep it. 

For dinner tonight I am making chicken curry  --  with apples and raisins and sprinkled with coconut -  yum!
