If anything can cure summertime blues, it’s a fresh garden tomato. The boys love picking them but they won’t eat ’em. (That’s not a real snake beside Mark.)<\/p>\n

Daniel is off having “experiences and adventures” with the Sanchez grandparents this week. Lucky!<\/p>\n

Paige returned from Girls Camp<\/del> Spiritual Retreat in New Mexico just as sunburned as when she camps in the mountains.<\/p>\n

I’m reading Democracy in America<\/em> by de Tocqueville\u00a0 since I have always wanted to do that.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to gather enough courage to open the box of animals I ordered for Paige to dissect. Strange, given the fact I have dissected just about every animal you can think of. I’ve even dissected a shark… and worked with cadavers. You have a new disgusting respect for me now, don’t you? Back to my box dilemma: the specimens showed up in a package on the doorstep from a hot truck. I have a serious case of the willies. WHERE are we going to dissect these? This sort of dilemma keeps my mind busy.<\/p>\n

I’m going to make this cake<\/a>, sans the green frosting and trap.<\/p>\n

I’m watching Bride and Prejudice<\/a> while I ride the exercise bike. The music is so weird, it’s wonderful. I guess I’m on an India kick. Last weekend we watched Gandhi<\/em>. It was very quotable…and an essential classroom tool I will incorporate next time we talk about Indian independence. I also bought a book of henna tattoos from a local gift shop. It’ll be a couple of years before we study this, but I’m always planning ahead.<\/p>\n

I discovered this source for science supplies<\/a>. The products appear to be high quality and the prices are good. There are chemistry supplies, too, which I have had trouble finding. I’m excited to order a bunch of prepared microscope slides.<\/p>\n

I finished our family scrapbook for 2010. Hooray for the unscheduled month of June!<\/p>\n
