We learned about Julius Caesar in History. He became the first Emperor of Rome. We read 10 poems about dogs. In science we learned about cells. Cells are named for the houses of monks. Humans have between 50 and 100 trillion cells.

Today we went on a field trip to the library and we stayed a while, they have a contest going on right now, they have quilts all over the place and you vote for a quilt or two, and the quilt with the most votes wins. Some friends were at the library.
We are starting James in Bible, he says to be glad to be tested, I know I won’t always be glad about the test, but I can be glad to have a wonderful God to give me the test. I liked James 1:19-20, it is a good one to think about.
We started a new science book, I never thought I would be this glad to be doing biology again. It still talks about evolution but way less, we did the intro and it seems okay, but we have 28 questions that we have to answer about it and our Friday reader this week, we usually have about 15-16.

We started James today. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide We learned about Saul, David and Jonathan. We read seven poems. We started a new book called What is Science?. We started the Biology section. There are seven things that make the definition of living.
Buddhists literally will not hurt flies. The first Emperor of China has a supposedly boobee trapped tomb. Archaeologists have not dug it up yet.

Today was another loooooooong day of school, we learned about wind tunnels and air pressure in science, as well as a way that they made to prevent gasses from building up, it breaks down the molecules in the gasses, then they are pretty harmless. That is a great way to cut down on any greenhouse gasses, and it would help air pollution too. We also learned about cube worlds, it is a little bit odd, but it might be interesting to watch.
To the moon and back, in my sports utility vehicle?

There have been some flying cars spotted in California. They are so top secret the company Zee.Aero, won’t disclose anything, not even what they are doing. They have a patented, and we know of at least several types with different kinds of motors, they have vertical lift, they hover and land nicely. It is not very loud according to Steve Eggleston, the assistant manager of a airplane parts company in Hollister California. Zee.Aero has purchased a landing strip, and may be close to a scientific breakthrough. They have some of the best scientists working for them, so maybe we will be going “to the moon and back,” in the near future.

Today we went on a field trip to places that I am about to tell you what are, we dropped off donations at savers, did a walmart pick up, went in to get eggs and pledge because it was too late to add those. Went to the library, and got an awesome movie about ballet. Took lunch to dad because he forgot it, realized that we didn’t get him turkey, so he only had bread and an apple, (in hindsight I am really glad that I added an apple) went partly to the store with dad, realized that we had a bunch of refrigerated stuff in the back that had been waiting for a hour, turned around dropped him off and went home to get the stuff in the fridge. Then it was lunch, so we ate lunch, and then did school. I didn’t finish because I had a test in math, (Dad decided that he didn’t want me starting pre-algebra yet) and a big thing for Bible, I have to look up and then write down almost everything I can find about Israel’s enemies, and now it is 8:00 I haven’t finished school and I am going to have to do it tomorrow, (by the way am singing the song from Annie) and I think you are crazy to be reading this because I am crazy and have lost my marbles, literally, I lost almost all of them. And now I am rambling on and on, and I am misspelling words that I am sure I know, and I would be kind of surprised if you are understanding more than half of what you are reading. Adi tried to color Reed’s hair green, but I stopped her, and now that I have bored you with almost every little thing that came to mind I shall wrap it up, figuratively. If I had said that all in one breath I would be red as a cherry right now.

Today we went out in the morning so we did not start school until the afternoon. We did not finish. We had two days of together stuff and a Science Experiment. I had a writing assignment and spelling.
