Lynn Plans New Rental House
July 21, 2008
Lynn, ever on the lookout for a good real estate deal, found a beautiful home overlooking a dessert valley. From my understanding the occupants have already moved out and it’s available immediately if anyone is interested.
Lynn wanted me to give you the mapquest link…

he says feel free to stop anytime and take a look. They’re still working on the plumbing… but what the heck…
Tuesday Talks
July 20, 2008
Join us in the bookstore Tuesday, July 22, at 2 o’clock, to explore ways to teach your children to write.

Travels With Lynn and The Good ‘Ole Bike

This is Tim, I’m posting for Lynn… he said to tell Jim that’s it’s not hot, in fact he’s been wearing his coat most of the time. Sounds like he’s having a good time.
Old Men/Old Bike Expedition
July 15, 2008
Left AC 7:30 on Sat. Morning. Rode all day, and got to OKC at 10:30 PM, just as it started to rain. Got the bike undercover just in time. Slept hard till 11:00 the next day. Checked out the bike and found that one of the saddlebags had busted out the bottom. Lost half of my tools. Hope no one was killed when it hit the pavement. I remember some strange noises during the ride, but it didn’t occur to me to check the bags.
The major thing I will remember about riding through northwestern OK is the huge sky. And the colors. Jo, I know you think west OK is a wasteland. But, if you saw it right now, you would fall in love with it. It was like the startup screen on windows. Or what you would expect Ireland to be, but without the hedgerows. Greens of every shade, mixed with purple, turquoise. Contrasted with a huge blue,blue sky.. The room! No overcrowding here. For miles in every direction, you can see.
I’ve tried to explain to these guys that I’m going for what I can see, while it seems that they are going for the sheer joy of riding. And riding fast. For me it’s a way to get to see the west. They’ve lived here all their lives and see nothing special in the little towns with the dirt roads and the trees that we would call bushes. I have tried to hold my tongue. But I fall behind constantly, and they don’t like it. I’ve tried to explain that I’m just as interested in the towns as I am in the scenery.
There is much more to all this, but the librarian has just called that she is closing in 5 minutes.
Tell Rosemary that I haven’t seen any tornadoes yet, but will look out for them. The weather has been fine, have worn a coat most of the way.
Introduction to HomeSchooling
July 14, 2008
We had a sweet evening – rather quiet since no children came this evening – with about 7 moms, some veteran homeschoolers, some new. After touching on the basics, which was fairly settled for everyone, we discussed not only curriculum, but motivation, special needs, new beginnings, and just encouraged each other. Thank you all for participating.
Three families who wanted to could not come, so you all let me know if we need to do just one one more introduction. I’m thinking of mid-August
