Congrats To Your Graduation, Eyebright!

This is a blog post to honor one of our HomeschoolBlogger Class of 2008 Graduates: Eyebright of Defective Compositions. {The card has a picture of a rose from our garden - photo taken by Abigail} I like Micah 6:8 because it is a reminder to me that as homeschool...

Of Graduation & Tests

I’ve decided thus far not to have a set day for my graduation.  I’m happy for everyone else that does but I personally can’t quite get into it.  I remember coming to the conclusion as a young child that I should never have a high school graduation because if I do end...

A New Month Already?

Spring is probably the busiest time of year for us.  There is always so much outside work to do.  It’s already been nearly three years since we moved here and thus there is all the more going on. Dad, Rachel and I went to a homeschooled friend's graduating...

I’m Not Exactly Scheduled, But Things Are Getting Done

The site is up.  Www.thecrusadingchemist.com, that is.  I stayed up late setting it up last night, and it is nearly certain to not appeal to you web design connoisseurs, but it is at least uncluttered and straightforward.  Dad's friend gave us some phone numbers to...

Thus, I Contemplate

It is amazing to me that sometimes I can be so busy and yet not seem to be doing much of anything. I'm always doing something, of course, but perhaps after I get so immersed in a project, it seems to become less of an accomplishment. That must be why we ought not to...

The Crusading Chemist: The Story Behind The Story

Finally, I shall explain what all this research and writing and registering is really all about after all. What exactly is The Crusading Chemist about anyway? First of all, it is a biopic about a historical character already vague and yet increasingly curious to the...

A Change Of Direction

Due to mysterious ways, The Crusading Chemist is on its way to The Library of Congress rather than the Writers Guild. That is, to Washington, D.C. rather than Los Angeles, California.  My literary friends, please read closely just in case you ever plan to...

Well Now, March Is Ending…

That gives me roughly two months to complete my coursework. Recently I've picked up my study of Latin again. I enjoy that a lot, especially since someone once said that learning Latin makes all subjects 50% easier. It certainly helps with a deeper understanding of...

Final Draft

"Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in HIM, and HE will do it." ~ Psalm 37:5 What more can I say?  I'm still sure this project deserves to have been written better than I could offer it, but I was privileged to work on it this long, and it is now officially...

Photo Shoot Blooper

Yesterday we had a photo shoot for The Girlhood Home Companion article on soap making.  We began making another batch of soap in the morning, and Mom got behind the camera and tripod to photograph Abigail and me performing the melting step.  During one of the photos...

Tradition!

  I didn't get to make a post on the first day of March, so I will begin this post with what occurred then.  Our friends the Williams kindly invited Rachel, Joseph and me to accompany them to a splendid performance of Fiddler On The Roof.  I saw the movie many years...
