I only have a minute, but really wanted to post this!! PLEASE take about an hour & a half of your time to view the movie "Come What May" for FREE. A group of 40 homeschoolers made this film and it will soon by distributed by the same people that put out "Fireproof". This is a great chance for you to see the movie, then tell your friends and family to see it when it comes out in theaters. By the way, it's only free through tomorrow, so please go watch it now!

Another Old Schoolhouse Bargain!
ATTENTION! This is another great deal from The Old Schoolhouse. If you haven't subscribed, please take a look at the following opportunity! (P.S. I should be back later with a post about what's been going on with us lately...it's been a busy month!)
Did you ever dream of getting a horse for Christmas? You can get a sneak peek of our Fall issue and see Nancy Carter's first horse! Oh, and she's not the only one sharing her childhood pictures. You'll see photos from the 50's through the 80's.
But, you'll need the Fall issue of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine to go on this walk down memory lane.
Plus, do you like to create holiday memories? The brand new TOS holiday E-Book can be yours, too. It's all about the fall and winter holidays - mainly Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it's not even for sale yet. This is your chance to get it first - for FREE ($12.45 value)!
Normally when a person subscribes, their subscription starts with the upcoming issue which can take a while. But, TOS thought about that when they planned their Fall Special.
If you subscribe now with their Fall Special, you'll get:
~ Almost 50% off the cover price for 2 years The current Fall issue as soon as it is ready
~ 6 Bonus gifts
~ 12 months of Teacher's Toolbox, which contains a FREE E-Book every month PLUS, the new E-Book, Homespun Holidays for FREE!

Tag...I'm It!
My dear friend, Sheree, has tagged me to tell you 10 of my husband's favorite things. Let me take a crack at it, though I know that the number 1 item would probably also be listed as numbers 2-5 in his mind! ;)
1. Golf! He would rather be on the golf course than almost anywhere else. He is very competitive and he loves the challenge of trying to beat his own score. This is one of the only outdoor activities he enjoys.
2. Gator Football! Our life is planned around Gator games in the Fall. To him, it's emotional, it's dramatic, it's exciting...and I just don't get it. He can somehow tie every memory to some football game. "Oh yeah, that happened on Sept. 12, 2000. That was the day the Gators played Tennessee and beat them 41-3." (Ok, so I totally just made that up, but that's what I hear every time we try to remember something that happened.)
3. Me. His love for me has stood the tests and trials that most marriages would not have survived.
4. Ella. At least once a day, I notice him glance at her and get the sweetest grin on his face. He loves her laugh, her smile, her sense of humor. He really gets a kick out of that girl!
5. A good show on TV. For some reason, this has become one of our favorite things to do together. We've got our recliners positioned just right. Pop open a Coke Zero and we're ready to roll. (A bit sad, I know!).
6. Entertainment System Equipment. This is probably something every guy loves, but Paul spends alot of time researching exactly what we need to deliver "world-class" entertainment.
7. Old-school rap music. Didn't see that one coming, did you? Neither did I when he revealed it to me after we'd been dating for a while. Seems that he was one of those annoying teenagers with the huge speakers in the back of his car, cruising around the mall parking lot.
8. Cooking on the grill. He takes particular pride in his hamburgers (special recipe, you know), but he loves trying to perfect each cut of meat that he places on his grill. I hear he smokes some tasty ribs and his smoked turkey is to die for!
9. Laughing. Paul is loud and proud when it comes to laughter! :)
10. Shrimp. Fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp kabobs, shrimp po-boys, grilled shrimp, boiled shrimp...
Well, I hope I got at least a few of these right! Now, I am tagging Angela, Penny, Lori, and Susie. Your turn!

Old Schoolhouse Magazine Special!
A couple of months ago, I told you about the digital version of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine. I genuinely love this magazine. I have taken my time in reading the current issue because there is just so much information to absorb. I'm a new subscriber, but I already know that this is one resource I want to keep as long as I'm homeschooling. There are ideas for all age ranges and the full spectrum of learning styles and needs. It is so hard to find a magazine that you can trust from cover to cover - this is the only one I subscribe to that I can say that about! I also want to mention the Teacher's Toolbox e-newsletter that you get just for subscribing to the magazine. It's so nice to get these helpful hints delivered monthly right to my email while I'm waiting for the next issue to arrive in the mail!
Now for the good stuff!! I am excited to let you all know that I was chosen as an alternate member of the new focus group that the Old Schoolhouse has put together. This means that every now and then, I will be given the opportunity to use and review a variety of homeschool products! I will also be among the first to know about some special discounts from the Old Schoolhouse. So, I just have to let you know that they have an amazing subscription special going on RIGHT NOW! Here is the info that I received about the Fall special:

About half of them are gone, but you should still be able to get one if you hurry! (They will remove the info from the subscription page when the bags are all gone.) The total value is over $212, but you receive it all for only $39 - 50% off of cover price! Plus subscribers get their online monthly Teacher's Toolbox which focuses on a different topic each month, giving you words of encouragement, hands-on teaching ideas, book recommendations, field trip ideas, and a bonus download item.

Bailout B-B-Q
Well, it looks like the government decided to have a pork feast with the new "bailout" bill that passed today. Barbara at MommyLife shows you some of the finer cuts of meat here: Bailout - Senate "fix" means more pork. These are crazy times and I want to encourage each of you to be praying more than ever for the country as we head for what might be the most important election of our generation. If you feel so inspired, please join Pray the Vote 2008. They will send you a prayer for the nation each day until the election. Regardless of your political leanings, let's agree in prayer for God's Will to be done.
