Life at our house last night was enough to give a turtle high blood pressure!
We were preparing to have guests, and they were due to come in an hour when it all began.
Ellen was a quiet child; average in just about every way. Her shoulder length brown hair wasn’t curly but it wasn’t straight either. She had a pleasant smile and a cute freckled. An all around nice girl were the words most people used when they were describing her.
Philip Gray applied the finishing touches to his tie as he stood in front of a mirror. He took a deep, long look at his head make sure that each hair was in its proper place. Finally, he was ready for his date! After two hours of meticulous dressing, ounces upon ounces of hair gel and cologne, and careful preening of his garments, Philip decided it was time to call Renee to tell her when he was going to pick her up. His heart fluttered briefly as his finger flew over the well-known numbers on his phone. Renee’s melodious voice answered, and Philip faltered momentarily.

When shadows fade and shadows fall
Darkness creeps and rolls
The desert man made of sand cries out
“What a laugh, did you think this was a pure romance story? I mean come on. How could I let my author write something like that? It would have no place in it for a villain like me.
Forget me not, my friend.
Don't let me slip away
Though the time we shared was brief
As a winter day.
Please remember, my friend.
Won't you smile, even now,
As you remember all those nights
Before our final bow?
Miss me not, my friend,
Although I have missed you.
Just don't let me slip away
As the night stars do.
If you want to hear a girls heart break
Say you love her and walk away.
You'll hear the cracking, you'll see her shake
But shell still tell you she's ok.
If you want to hear her fall apart,
To hear her sobbing silently
It isn't hard to rip out her heart.
Now just sit and watch her bleed.
Dear Homeschooling Friends,
It is Spring.
Or nearly so. I suppose it “officially” begins on the equinox on the 20th, but I still have always thought of Spring as March, April and May.
So, as I said, it is Spring. Although it certainly doesn’t feel like it where I live in Oregon. Right now the temperature is hovering around the freezing point; occasionally it will climb into the low 40s. It’s been this way since November.
