This last couple of weeks...

Does life sometimes just seem a blur?? This is true for me at times. Does school and home life just merge into one? It has for us.
Brid is working very hard for her Ballet exams in July. We have been Blessed with the opportunity for Brid to do her exam early. The school exam dates were pencilled in for September,  this was not an option for Brid - due to prior committment,but our lovely teachers asked the ACB board if it was  possible for  Brids' exam to be scheduled earlier.
All her other studies are going well. I asked Brid if she would like to do a unit study. She chose Edith Stein. This meant delving deeper into WWII. Its been a very interesting study and Brid has embraced it well. She wanted to understand the Nazi occupation of countries and how it affected her chosen countries.  Belgium and Holland are her chosen countries. It will be interesting to see how she undertakes this study.
Its been a time of intense learning of the Nazi rule and the plight of Jews and anyone not German in that day and age. Lots of reading and looking information up on the internet, researching in books and immersing herself in this important time in modern history.




  

A special phone call....

Today, I heard unexpectingly, from a very special friend. She has been away in Europe and the States for around 8 weeks. I was just doing my daily chores when the phone rang...
"Hi its ........, couldn't wait to see you, just had to call, we are on the freeway......",  I was delighted, someone thought of me and my family that much that they call us on there mobile on there way home in the car after a long flight from the US. !!!!!!!!!
Once, I got over that, we just chatted, so much to catch up with, so much has changed in 8 weeks. Brid spoke with her daughter while her hubbie drove them closer to home......Wow...Smiles and excitement all round.
Still can't wait to see them.

You see God put us together. We met some years ago, when Brid was invited to attend the art classes held in her studio.  We share similar interests, our daughter are good friends-they both Love Ballet and go to the same Ballet School. We use similar homeschool products and often get the girls together for joint lessons.
I have missed them so very much, and I didn't really realise, how much until today. So we will catch up as soon as we can. That will be a great meeting with so much to share with each other.....
