Storytelling Around the Breakfast Table
Yesterday morning, the youngest three sat there over their cereal bowls and told stories for about half an hour straight. These were real-life stories, perhaps slightly embellished. It made me think of family story-telling time in the Little House on the Prairie books.
They took turns telling about and reliving their experiences on the waterslide when they went on a field trip with Grandma and Granddad. It got quite melodramatic at times. The most amusing part to me was that they were all there on that trip; and yet, when the storyteller would pause, one of the listeners would eagerly ask, "And then what happened?"

Cat-
I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Is the weather like ours? We have had drenching rain, thunderstorms etc. for weeks.
I am excited b/c I haven't found a CSA but I have found 2 other great options.
There is a group called Oklahoma Food Online and they have organized many of the OK producers of natural/organic products and they post what they have available and once a month I can order. It ranges from wheatberries to grass-fed buffalo to soap etc. They have to be produced, grown etc in Oklahoma with (as much as possible) Oklahoma ingredients. I love the idea of local food that hasn't traveled for miles.
Also, in our area 2 women are starting up an organic/natural food buying coop. It isn't as good of a deal: they charge 10% for their labor of dividing up cases etc. The one that I was involved in CA was just like this but we took turn with the work and that saved us any of this fee stuff. :-) We shall see- I may not order as much from them. I have thing about fees.
I love reading about your homeschooling adventures and listening to your music.
