Fortunately I type up my next week ahead each Thursday.... Which has certainly paid off for the new week, as our town has just been hit by severe flooding.
I'm updating this post on an iPhone.. And promise to answer any emails we can't get to now, later, as we're without Internet access.
I still think the new week feels like a good week- no lives were lost! ( Though homes have been).
Our week ahead post.
Why does this week already *feel* like a good week, despite the fact that we've not even started

We're at the half way mark in our history and English schedule. Feels great to look up on the shelf that is holding the books for us to read through this year and see a huge gap.
At this half way point in our year, is when I start thinking about working on our schedules for the coming year. Winter is a perfect time to be sorting out, and typing up draft copies of our potential 'next' schedule.
2016 is going to create a significant change in how we do things as Jay moves into the next phase of his higher education journey.
With the Deacon Brodie book we mentioned a while back (the book detailing the life of the man who was the inspiration for R.L. Stevenson to pen Jekyll & Hyde); well, you can read our 'content issues' comment here; and, even though we've moved on from wanting to use that biography as one of our reads this year, the portions that Jay & I did read generated some good discussion about authors, books, and choices.
