More P&P
Thursday, May 31st, 2007I forgot that some photos could be found here: kleinekatze This blog belongs to the girl who played Jane. Some of Teacherperson’s photos were taken during rehearsal, and the scenery wasn’t all put together yet. So Kleinekatze’s photos from the actual performance give a better feel for the look of the whole thing.
Pride & Prejudice
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007For those of you who know us and know Nate and Amy, BUT you don’t know Teacherperson, here are commentary and photos from the production of Pride & Prejudice that Amy directed in State College, PA where they are living while Nate is a graduate student at Penn State. The “Nate” playing Mr. Darcy should [...]
Happy Birthday, Patrick Henry!
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007I’m almost too late for anyone to appreciate this, but today (May 29th) is Patrick Henry’s birthday. Five years ago today we visited his home in Scotchtown, Virginia. We had a wonderfully informative and interesting docent. Scotchtown is a little off the beaten path and so we happened to find ourselves the only visitors at [...]
Flowers and Cats
Friday, May 25th, 2007I have barely dabbled with planting flowers since we moved here to Missouri. But when I have, I have been thwarted in my efforts by the cats who like to lie in and on the flower beds and thus manage to break everything off. I’d get rid of the cats, but that won’t go over [...]
Pennsylvania
Saturday, May 12th, 2007I have arrived. My flight even got in early. It seemed weird to be so far away from home in less than the time it would have taken to get to St. Louis. I even got a fair amount read–around 50 pages of Dawn to Decadence. I find it difficult to read on [...]
Interesting-things-about-me tag
Sunday, May 6th, 2007Deanna at Stories Happen tagged me for this meme. Juanita offered to tag anyone wanting to be tagged–so I’ll consider this to be in response to her tag also. Only problem with this is that what is interesting to me may not be very interesting to anyone else. However, I’ll take my cue [...]
Janie Cheaney at Springfield Borders
Friday, May 4th, 2007Janie sent me the following information to pass around, and I just realized I could post it here. I know local people read my blog, even if they never post.:-)
Here’s the info:
Janie B. Cheaney, the author of Wordsmith: A Creative Writing Course for Young People, is a former homeschool mom and speaker at [...]
Wisdom and Eloquence
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007Juanita wrote a review of this book which I read a few months ago–maybe even close to a year ago. About the only helpful thing I said about the book at the time was that I thought it would be the first book I would recommend for those wanting to learn about classical ed. I [...]
The Melding of the Literary with the Technical
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007For those of you who like books and like interesting technical tricks, check out the website for Everyman’s Library. Click on one of the “Essential Sets” in the left-hand column. Then when you get to the page, click on a drawer and select a card. Very clever.
History comes alive….in a cemetery
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007Click on the photo to bring up a larger view.
This is Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose, California. We visited on our trip to California and Oregon when we were checking out Gutenberg College for Sam 2 1/2 years ago (boy, is Abbie short!). My grandparents are interred at this cemetery (I use that [...]
