Transplanted City Girl

Note to all!  Hot fences are slightly less incredible when flung into them at high speeds, however, they are still more forgiving then the cattle panels would be.  Yea, my dear friend the bull saw to it that I found out.  He doesn't like being wormed. On a more pleasant note..... we've had some lovely and mild weather here lately.  Definitely easier to move around now.  I've been packing up lots and lots of books, our living room is full of boxes right now.  But I don't have bookshelves to put them in, and we'll be moving eventually, so why not pack them now?  I am so thankful for them, though.  Lots of the classic works have the study guides and literature stuff with them.... I've got almost my entire school curriculum right there!  Vocab, spelling, writing, grammar, literature, history... All that's left is math and science!  I am of the firm opinion you can not have too many books.  You can have too many of the wrong books, but you can not have too many good books. And, I have been introduced to many of my dear husband's favorites.  Books tht HE forgot existed, until he's walking past them and going "My son's need those" and "I want these because the words in them are..."  He was planning our entire school curricullum as he walked around..  The books that I just fell in love with, however, were the Encyclopedia Brown books.  These are sort of "mystery" stories, but they give you all the facts, and then the reader has to figure out HOW Encyclopedia reached the conclusion he did.  They're ever so much more interesting then Read and Thinks, and you really have to think harder, too!  I've been having a lot of fun trying to figure them out.  Of course, Chris knows the answer before I'm even half way done, but I'm learning what to look for.  I already packed them, though.  I just know that if my little brothers found out how fascinating they are, they'd find soem way to come out here and read them, and then I'd never see them again!  Well, I am tremendously hungry, so I am going to go get some lunch.  Later!
