1. This is the calm just before the return to the regular, schoolyear [educational-type] activities: assignments due, grading to be done, classes beginning again. It's quiet in our home at the moment, with all of our boys visiting friends for the evening. Daughter and I are working through her Spanish lessons, trying to get her caught up on her homework. She slacked off the assignments for her Spanish teacher, which would be me :-/, hoping who knows what...that perhaps I'd go easy on her? I left things in her lap, so she'd feel the natural consequences of putting her work off. She chose to work sporadically on the language, which one just cannot do and expect remember anything well. Now she has to go back to lesson 10 and re-do almost everything. She should be finished with lesson 14 now, ready to begin 15, but she had too many holes in her understanding of the material. Hmphhhh.
2. The weather is strange. We hit an all-time record high (in 95 years) for our area today, 83 degrees! It is one of many records we've set in the last week or two. No wearing of winter clothes for us!! We have to keep shirtsleeves onhand, not pack them away in the attic in "summer clothes" boxes.
3. Pray for rain...Oklahoma and Texas need it *very* badly. Pray also that the wildfires will stop.
4. I wish you all a happy, productive, and blessed New Year, as you set your goals and plans in place, trusting in the Lord to help you accomplish those that you've outlined and set for yourselves and your families.
What are some of your plans or course changes for the new year?
