Bloggyness
We've been on the road for the last week on a big trip to see my parents in Ohio. We made some stops along the way. Some bloggers may be able to guess where we were from this photo--afternoon chores in action--
Did you guess? We were visiting Lisa Anne, Jerome, and Amelia from Harmony Valley Homeschool. We explored the farm, talked,
played games, talked, 
did chores, talked,
and generally had a nice visit. Hels, Lou, and I snuck off very early in the a.m. for our 10-hour drive to Ohio. We listened to lots of Hardy Boys on tape, memorized the top 40 tunes on the radio and played Mad Libs, arriving safely at my Father's in time for dinner.
We drove back through Niagara Falls.We got back in time for one of our favorite events of the year--the "5-College Book Sale" which is an enormous used book sale that takes up two school gyms and all the halls in between. We stocked up on some summer reading. Sarah will note a book at the very bottom of the pile that she recently blogged about. I took note and there it was at the sale!
Lou's favorite purchase was this 3-piece boxed desk encyclopedia (which we got for $1). She is very excited about it.
Our trip began with such a wonderful visit in Pennsylvania. Thanks to Lisa, Jerome, and Amelia for a lovely visit. It was fun to see Amelia and Hels tromp off into the woods together.
