Winter Blues

Well, it's been a while since I've posted >.>.  There's been a move and a very hectic life!  Merry belated Christmas and Happy belated New Years!  (as well as all the rest of the holidays in there I may have missed)  I've been working on helping the kiddo staying with us prepare for his G.E.D. and helping to finish a rulebook for my husband's game. 

All that aside, the Knitting Ninjas (find us on facebook :) )  have moved to trying our hands at quilting!  My husband and my birthdays are close together (January and February) so that's put a slight damper on us all meeting more, but soon it should become regular once again :)


I haven't been taking many pictures since the weather has all but decided it has no idea what it would like to be.  (We've been having spring one day, fall the next, spring again, then winter for a few days)  The ones above are from the Cedar Lake Outdoor Center in Chelsea, Mi.  Such a beautiful place!  Once upon a time, winter used to be my "free" time.  It was the time for family, friends, and relaxing.  I have to admit that this has been one of the busiest winters I can remember!  I'm ready for spring, even if only for the change to (hopefully) constant weather.  I'm going to work on once again, making my goal a post a week (maybe every other) so you should be reading me soon ;).

Now, I mentioned that I had been helping T (what I will call the kiddo) and in the process we've been reading Great Expectations and I've made some quizzes!  (Feel free to use them for refreshers/home schooling just if you use them in a public place please give me credit :D)

Chapters 1-7

Chapters 8-14


(We skipped chapters 15-20 on the quiz.  I have the notes and can type up the quiz if it is so desired :D)

Chapters 21-25

These quizzes were designed to help with remembering and reading comprehension.  Now, don't take offense, I'm offering these free of charge since, to be quite literal, I have no formal education.  This is this Michigan Housewife's attempt at helping to educate :).  If these are a hit, I'll provide more.  Please comment and let me know what you folks think!

All in all, I hope to be here more often!  Good luck and see you all soon!
