I forgot one of the most important school memories: playing on the rings. It's a tie between that and your goldfish. LOL
Well, I do remember some of those too. I'm not that young. But you guys sure had fun without me around or once I was here, keeping me away, didn't you?!? =) I'm glad how things turned out, though, bc I like you guys now.
Hey Chari, did you read this one????? I love you. Miss you. I'm about to post some homeschooling stuff of interest to you and Marty. I'm sure you already heard about it, but Venice and I were discussing it (yes, right now, about 1:30 AM - our best homeschooling time, LOL) and I went to bed... tried to find a video replay but could not, so I'll just put the information down. Do what you want with it.
