My Advent Calendar

December 11th


 Another ornament from a trip. This time it was a Roads Scholar trip to St. Louis. It included a ride on the Mississippi on a paddler wheeler in Hannibal, MO. We also had a tour of the Mark Twain Museum and Tom Sawyer’s house. 

Before this trip I asked Dan “Are we going to learn too much?”  He’s teased me about that ever since. What I meant was whether the trip would involve too many long winded lectures. As it turned out there was only one!

Today is homeschooling day. Granddaughter #1 is here for her once weekly day with me while Emily is at the office. She’s working on her writing assignment now, nope she’s back at the puzzle. She claims she finished her paragraph. Must check it out.
