  • Is Your Tank Full or Empty? – Why I Think Reading is Important for Every Woman!

    I love reading.  I always have.  For some reason, my parents never felt the need to buy many books for our home, though I’m sure it would not have been a financial burden for them to have done so.  Neither one of them were really readers.  Oh, we had a few books around, and I […]

  • Is Your Tank Full or Empty? – Tuesday March 31, 2009

         I love reading.  I always have.  For some reason, my parents never felt the need to buy many books for our home, though I’m sure it would not have been a financial burden for them to have done so.  Neither one of them were really readers.  Oh, we had a few books around, and […]

  • Marvelous Mondays – Math

         Math!  Does the very word strike terror in the heart of most homeschooling moms?  I hope not.  However, there are oodles of math programs in the homeschool marketplace these days, with more new programs becoming available every year, and that can be very confusing.  Are they all the same?  When buying math curricula is […]

  • Saturday Acrostic 3/28/09

    SATURDAY –      Sweet!  There is nothing sweeter than a grandbaby, and there are no calories, either.  Bliss!!!  I was doubly blessed to see my grandbabies twice this week, and I took every opportunity to cuddle any of them that I could lay my hands on.  Fortunately for me, there are still two little ones […]

  • Lots!

          What has been going on here?  Lots!  I’ll have a regular blog post up one day or another soon.  Our weather is glorious and we have been blessed with an abundance of work outside of the house, as well as inside.  It has been delightful!  We’re watering and irrigating and weeding and mowing and […]

  • What To Do Next Tuesday

         I wanted to let you know now what we’ll be doing next Tuesday, March 31, in the hope that you will join us.       Dani brought home red envelopes yesterday.  We will begin addressing them to President Obama, one or two at a time in spare moments, beginning today.  Tuesday morning we’ll use every […]

  • This Cracked Me Up!

         My blog is called “Copperswife” which evolved on its own from my calling myself “Copper’s Wife” here, there and yon around Blogland.  My identifying myself in this manner, as my husband’s wife, has been one of the things that has brought some of the more colorful comments left here, and at other places, about […]

  • Last Call For Animal Farm
