Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our summer schedule begins whenever we are finished with the bulk of our courses for the school year. That might be May23rd or June 27th, depending.

We plan to build garage cabinets this summer (personally, I'm an organizer, so I can't wait!). There are dead trees that need to be cut down and cut into firewood, and we'll probably have to go cut more to get us through next winter. Spring cleaning is part of the mix, and maybe inside painting...we'll see. We plan to hike once a week, and maybe swim once a week. Brian is hoping for full time work, as is Josh...I'm hoping to write next year's outline for school and maybe work on writing a novel.

We're planning for a veggie garden this summer. Broccoli, string beans, radishes, carrots, green onions, sweet peppers...Now, how to keep the birds, the squirrels, the rabbits, the elk and deer, the dogs AND the kids out of the planters...

I'm trying to decide if we ought to have our group birthday party this year...It's a family gathering, pot luck, gifts are optional type of party, outdoors usually. But I got to thinking about individuality and I'm wondering if this is a good idea or a bad idea...I'll have to think about this one.

Ted, Kim and I want to write a book on Liberty of Conscience. And we were discussing getting together our families for Bible study over the summer.

It feels like Summer outside today, almost!
