I received an email from Tara Johnson of thedailyauburn.com. She was interested in interviewing local crafters who sell their wares online. We met at the library and had a fun time chatting. I was very excited to be promoted in this way.
Here's the link to the article: Local custom card designer opens online store.
Thanks, Tara!

God Bless America
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Plimoth Plantation
We went to Plimoth Plantation and Mayflower II yesterday for FREE, courtesy of The Highland Street Foundation. There are a bunch of places that are free on Fridays, so click the link!
Here are some of my favorite pics from our trip:
The big boys were asked to help put in a couple of planks for a fence that needed repair. They got to break out one of the rotted planks and then put in two new ones.
The day was flawless. Temp and humidity perfectly comfortable. Only a few puffy clouds in the sky. Aaaaaaaaah, summertime!

Graduation
Big T graduated high school this year. We are all very proud of him. He will be taking a couple of college courses this fall while finishing his GED. There were forty other homeschool graduates this year. The ceremony was personal and well done. There was a short bio and a message from the parents read aloud for each graduate, followed by a slide show. It really is amazing to think of all the things these kids have accomplished.
Our graduate alone has been in the church choir since he was nine. He has completed about 40 hours of volunteer work at the church each year. T has been taking karate since he was ten, and earned his Black Belt in Kenpo at thirteen. He is in an "invitation-only" leadership program at the dojo, where he is training to become an instructor. T has also been taking piano lessons since he was ten. He gets sheet music out of the library and practices popular music as well as the great masters. T attends a weekly writing class where he is working on his first novel. It is amazing to see how far our timid, anxious and easily frustrated little boy has come. Good luck, Big T!
