Traipsing about Granby: March 2011
http://ivorygrace7.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Things are busy here at Faerie Gardens. Although you can't necessarily tell it from the weather, we can all smell spring in the air! I have been returning to my regular walks. I haven't taken a long walk yet, but I am going to soon! I am also increasing my knowledge of ASL. I have some hearing loss, and as I get older, I worry about more. Having another way to communicate with people can only be an asset. Lia, Jo, and Es are learning too although at a slower rate. In addition to ...

Traipsing about Granby: January 2011
http://ivorygrace7.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Lia has a new passion. It is sewing. Rarely a day goes by that she doesn't sew. Most of her sewing skills she has learned from watching tutorials online. She is really good and perseveres when she has difficulties. JoAnn is always asking her to make things for her or to modify her clothing. This is a huge praise because JoAnn is very particular about both her things and her clothes. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Not Your Typical Weight Loss Blog.

Traipsing about Granby: February 2010

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Antonio has been the wild card. When we discussed the possibility of taking care of Benji regularly with the kids, he said, "I don't care, but I'm not good with babies." Well we now have proof that Ant is very good with babies. Matter of fact, Benji has this special look that he gives Ant. Ant says that he looks like him like he is a god! Ant is also responsive to Benji helping him when he can (and helping me too of course! Links to this post. Saturday, February 6, 2010. Last n...

Traipsing about Granby: September 2012
http://ivorygrace7.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2012. This is our last official year as N.Y. State homeschoolers. Although Josie and Lia are both completing 10th grade this year, JoAnn has reached the magic age where she does not need to be reported. This is an ease to my mind (one less thing to do! It also is a reminder that my children are growing up. Es is living with Emma's family, and we here are now five. We are considering downsizing our car when the time comes to replace trusty Hannah Joe Montana. Links to this post.

Traipsing about Granby: February 2013
http://ivorygrace7.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 23, 2013. So, I have been recording the books that I have read on Good Reads since January 1, 2008, over five years! Here is my thought. I have been thinking that I want to put in some books I read before then. Many people do this; it is really sort of what the site is set up to do. So far, I have not put in book that I read before January 1, 2008, unless I reread them since then. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Not Your Typical Weight Loss Blog.

Traipsing about Granby: December 2010
http://ivorygrace7.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 8, 2010. As seen on Singularity. 1 Real tree or artificial? I love real trees! 2 When do you put up the tree? No particular time. This year it was December 3rd. It has been as early as the day after Thanksgiving and as late as the day before Christmas Eve. 3 When do you take down the tree? 4Wrapping paper or gift bags? 5 When do you start Christmas shopping? 6 Who is the hardest person to buy for? She doesn't want any extra stuff, and she always seems to have all the things she needs.

Traipsing about Granby: Book Review: Savvy, by Ingrid Law
http://ivorygrace7.blogspot.com/2012/10/book-review-savvy-by-ingrid-law.html
Saturday, October 20, 2012. Book Review: Savvy, by Ingrid Law. I read numerous positive reviews of the children's book, Savvy. In 2008 when it was first published. There was something about the plot that didn't hook me though, and it never ended up in my reading queue. Recently, we visited a library that we don't usually frequent, and they had a display of Newbery Award winners and honor books, and there was Savvy. I pulled it off the shelf, along with Princess Academy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
