Well now that summer is officially over and school has started here in Albuquerque, it’s time to get our classes back in session for the homeschool community. You can click on the Calendar page to see what’s up, but here is the basic rundown: Two introductory chainmail classes, September 7 and September 14, the first at Cherry Hills Public Library, the second at the “Gazebo” at Haynes Park in Rio Rancho. The meeting in Rio Rancho is outdoors, so weather will need to be considered. Then on September 21 and 28 there will be inkle loom weaving classes: again, one at the Cherry Hills Library and other at the Gazebo at Haynes Park.
I’ve been struggling to find a good meeting place in Rio Rancho. I don’t want to say anything negative about the city library, but I felt very “discouraged” from hoping to hold classes there. However, the park is free and the weather in September usually agreeable, so an out-of-doors class seemed like a good idea. The “Gazebo” is on a first-come, first-served basis . . . I’m hoping that a 3:00 pm meeting time will put us at an advantage for using the gazebo – if not, I do have an easy-up that I can set up.
Recieved a comment from David Andrews, local author . . . as soon as I finish “Catching the Stone”, I will publish a full review. Let me say that so far, I have enjoyed the book – the story line is well thought out and is an easy read. One comment for the homeschool families . . . there is some mature (not graphic) situations in the story which may not be quite appropriate for younger readers. Otherwise . . . it’s a nice story.
And in an unrelated bit of news . . . today is my birthday (ugh getting old is really annoying sometimes) – I will be at the Toro Bar and Grill sometime after 5:00 for dinner with family – if you find yourself in the neighborhood, please stop and say “hello”!
