We have decided to cut off our home phone, internet and cable for a bit. 1st to work on our budget and 2ndly to work on famiy communication. I will miss my computer for internet access daily but will be working in exercise by walking to the library!

More Hippology

So yesterday was the meet in McPherson, KS. Our girls took 1st in Team Stations, 2nd in Team Exams, 1st in Team Overall, 2nd in Individual Exam, and 1st in the Quiz bowl! WHOOO HOO! The Intermediate's also did really well with several medals - including 1st in Individual Stations.

So next week is the meet here and then Panorama --- if they continue to do this well they will be headed to Denver for Nationals!

Hippology results --- Jessica

No it's not some horrid disease! Daughter is in 4-H horse club and they compete in Hippology meets. Horse knowledge/quiz bowls. They have to do a written test, slides with blanks to fill in and head to head quiz bowl type questions. Her first meet was yesterday in Newton, KS sponsored by Harvey County. Out of 6 Senior Teams the girls took 2nd! Yeah! It was fun. Next weekend is in McPherson then here in Abilene the Sat after that and then the 9th-10th is an event called Panorama which is a statewide event. She and another girl will also be giving a talk at that one.

YEAH!

Yuck & piano

Feeling yucky - my eldest dd deigned to give me her head cold and I'm just not getting over it! Planning on laying around today with tea, elderberry, zinc, vit c echinacea and homeopathic remedies. My essential oils (http://www.youngliving.us - hope to have my own website up soon).

I am going to start teaching piano on Tuesday as well. Bit nervous and feeling uncompetant but I know this is the direction I am supposed to go to make some extra money for the family - at least for now. I sent out one feeler email and already have 5 students. Need to write up policies and decide on what I want to do for the first lesson today.
