Homeschooling: It's not what you think

A local newspaper (the St. Pete Times) has this lengthy article on past and current Florida homeschooling. It's a good read with pics.

National Center for Home Food Preservation

I've been looking into canning and found this highly informative website. I've never canned but I have made freezer jam & jelly. Anyone know of some helpful websites for a novice like myself?

The Greatest American

According to the Discovery Channel, Ronald Reagan is the Greatest American. I voted for George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. I think George Washington didn't win because most Americans don't know anything about him - other than the fabled and false cherry tree tale. Ronald Reagan, however, was the only president for most of my childhood and I'm glad he won. I think I'll eat some Jelly Bellys to celebrate.

Blog Wear

Jollyblogger is selling black T's with this cute pic.

...for now the price includes shipping within the US. When I can nail down the costs of international shipping I'll make that available and put it on the more official looking permanent page. The shirts themselves are high quality 6.1 oz Gildan Ultra Cotton Heavyweights with a durable silk-screened image for quality. So, if you want to be the first in your blog neighborhood to have one just select a size and hit the "Buy Now" button below. The cost is $15.00 for Small - Extra Large and $16.00 for the XXL, plus shipping. And, since we're just getting started with this, please allow up to two weeks for delivery. As we get it going we hope to be able to give quicker turnarounds.
