Fall has completely left, and winter has arrived here at my house. And winter is cold! The temperature has been in the single digits quite a few mornings. And that’s much too cold for these old bones. lol
We had our first snow fall, which quickly melted. I did manage to take a couple of pictures before it did melt.
I recently received a paperback copy of Simply Put: A Study in Economics by to review in our homeschool.
Simply Put: A Study in Economics is written by Catherine Jaime, who has written several books and booklets on American history and economics. She also is a fellow homeschool mom. Since this book is written for high school students, I am using it with my 15 year old, 9th grade daughter.

I had to make homemade turkey sausage for our pizza the other day, so I made extra. I used two 20 ounce packages of ground turkey. I made patties with one package and put them all in the freezer for future meals. With the second package, I made crumbled sausage for pizza.
I recently received the DVD Coming Home For Christmas to review. This is a great Christmas movie for the whole family to watch together.
After their parents separate, two sisters that haven’t spoken in five years reunite. Once they are speaking again, they decide it would be great if they can get the whole family together for Christmas in their old house. The house that is now owned by someone else.
One sister meets the new owner, while she is swinging on her old swing set in the backyard without permission. She apologizes and runs away. While taking the families clock in to be repaired, she again meets the new owner of the house. After visiting his shop a few times, she tells him her plan, and he actually agrees to host the family for Christmas. He even kept the families Christmas decorations that were left in the attic when he bought the house.
Thanks to his kindness, the whole family is able to be together at the old house for Christmas. And are joined by some new family, as well.
Volleyball seems to be the dominating activity in our home lately. Thankfully, our homeschool team plays in a Christian association so we have no worries about having to miss church services due to volleyball. She has had to miss some extra church activities, such as band practice and CR, though.
Abby played in two volleyball games on Saturday. It was a marathon sports day. lol Three teams played each other in basketball and volleyball. Thankfully, we didn’t have to stay for it all! They won the first game (22-25; 25-16; 18-16) Unfortunately, they had to play back to back games and were really tired for the second game. And the other team was really good. The score was 18-25; 7-25. They play again tomorrow. Go Trailblazers!
