Grandma is doing great and has 20-something more days at assisted living before she goes home. We've been visiting her in the evenings. She says, "You don't have to come every day!" when we arrive and "You really made my day!" when we leave. :-)
Chloe, Logan, and I went to the Evergreen State Fair Saturday. (Yum!)
Heroes came out on DVD!
The child-accessible nightshade has been vanquished. I was sad to see it go, but the front yard does look tidier.
A large portion of the unschooling community is in North Carolina at the Live and Learn Conference. Wish we could have gone! Next year.
Chloe's laptop has been repaired. She's very excited to get back to work.
Actually, she came to work with me today. The receptionist asked her, "Why aren't you in school today?" (as if it's any of her business). I smiled and replied, "School doesn't start until tomorrow," which is both perfectly true and perfectly deceptive.
MJ gets home from camp on Thursday! I can't wait. Unfortunately, Amtrak keeps pushing her arrival time back. If they keep this up, it'll actually be Friday before we see her.
I've been learning all about running a Yahoo! Group. My blog-oriented administration of the STUN group had too many limitations, so I switched it to Yahoo! It's been interesting so far. The message traffic will probably pick up when the rest of the gang gets back from NBTSC.
Frank is considering a trip to New Orleans to visit Marty et al. If he goes this fall, he'll probably slot it between MJ's birthday and his eligibility to return to work in October. That's assuming his sisters are ready for visitors in that timeframe.
Speaking of MJ's birthday, Frank's been researching Drivers Ed courses. Our school district doesn't offer them anymore, so we're having to look at private enterprises. Those places want nearly $500 for a basic course! Yikes! Thankfully, our insurance rates don't go up until she's licensed. One financial hurdle at a time...

Check out yuku for your board. My motorcycle group recently switched to them and it is much better than an attempt to use yahoo. Here is our site: http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/bhondashadowacetourer
Thanks for taking the time to visit GG - we all appreciate it.
And speaking of driver's ed, or as the state likes to say, TSE, we were reminded that one of our STUN folks owns and operates just such a company. So it looks like we'll be going with SWERVE (http://www.goswerve.com) for the girls' driver's ed (TSE) classes. Our friends with SWERVE are also pals with the local SCCA instruction folks, ProFormance Racing (http://www.proformanceracingschool.com); so when we're ready to get MJ (and Chloe) some track training, we have an unschooling "in" there, too. Cool!
*I* wanna spend a day at SIR (now called Pacific Raceway) in one of their Lotus Elises! Big fun!
Yeah, big EXPENSIVE fun! :-)
You used to be able to take your own bike or car to SIR for hot laps. I went to the Vintage Races a couple times with my Mini.
You can definitely still do track days there with your own car under a variety of circumstances and the MR-2 is really a pretty good track car.
But it's not a brand-spanking-new Lotus. (grin)
