Was Our Week Ahead ~ in November 2016, is now...

This is my last post on Modern Times history and literature covered during 2016.
It's more to archive the books read, and audios listened to during the end of November, into the middle of December.  Academic school has officially finished for 2016.  (Though Jay's new English teacher has gifted him an assignment to complete before the middle of Term 1, 2017.  We've closed the books and just walked away from it - it'll still be there next year.)

We're really happy to close the door on November - finishing assessments for Te Kura added extra excitement to life-happening things;  talk about a horrible, no good, very bad, month (Judith Viorst),   .... but, let's not talk about it   ;-P
I'd rather focus on the grace of God seeing us, along with those we love and care about,  through ♥
And learning to acknowledge, once again, that there are "things" we cannot change.

Our family is quietly enjoying preparing things for the end of year celebrations.  Celebrations that surround the commemoration of Christ's birth.
This is a lovely time of the year for us - I look forward to it very much.

Beneath is the literature, Daisy & Jay, read late November to mid-December:
