You are always so sweet to me, thank you. I might someday give you an idea or get you to signal boost. I never thought of that. I loved homeschooling #5 so much for so many reasons, but I was never really interested in history before. That schooling him had awakened this interest was surprising but I enjoyed it so much.

I get your trepidation for reading Auburn, but if you can handle the stuff respoftw writes, you probably can handle Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves I feel like it was her least angsty work. One of the things I dearly loved was her treatment of Lindsey Novak. Her character was developed brilliantly and resonated strongly with me. I also got a big kick out of Rodney preferring the name Meredith for a change.
Give the story a try. I really don’t think it’s too much, but if I’m wrong you can come back and berate me forever. 🙂
