Homeschool

So I took Tanner out of three of his classes (English, Pre-Algebra and Science) and am having him do the K12 program online. It is great! He actually takes a little longer to do the work, but he says he doesn't mind because he is comfortable. The office was a little cold today, so we turned on the space heater, and he can lay however he wants on his chair or the desk (or the floor) and he can wear gloves, and he is happy. I like it because I can see he's learning something. He also is very grateful when I say we are done for the day or if I shorten any of his assignments a bit, so that's a nice attitude!! Next semester we hope to have a more consistent schedule with the junior high so it's not as hard to figure out when he's supposed to be there and when I'm supposed to pick him up. It's different every day because of the A/B day schedule.

Garden is Done

We had our first frost last week, and the zucchini looked like cooked spinach on the ground. Today I got everything pulled down and out; feels really good! Hopefully it will dry up enough to till soon. Jared is going to get it all in the trailer and take it to the dump. We will have some nice cornstalks left drying for porch decoration!

Conference

Conference was great! As always. But this time I was really asking for some help with receiving personal revelation. It seems to me like all the "usual" things are not quite the answers I need for my unique situation. So I was listening very carefully, and of course, the very first talk was about personal revelation!!! And no fewer than three talks were on the same topic! Heavenly Father definitely does hear and answer prayers.
