Thank you, Peg. That sounds perfect! I just had Wed thru this morning with my grandkids, for part of their Spring Break. It was wonderful. It's fun having them be so close in age to my youngest. They and she get along incredibly well.
Heading over to Gardening Moms, now, think I saw a part of your post there about Sq Ft Gardening :) Have you been to www.PathToFreedom.com? LOVE what that family has done/is doing! I joined their FreedomGardeners social site tho haven't gotten active on it yet. Looks like really cool people hanging out there.
I am so glad you will be homeschooling, welcome to the group.
You may also want to sign up at www.thehomeschoollounge.com for more specfic homeschool fellowship.
