Dear Homeschooler,

As a person who has purchased from us in the past, you may want to know that I've been writing encouragements to many of you on my blog site for awhile now. So you might want to go there, browse, and scroll down to topics that interest you. You can sign up online to receive the blogs as soon as they are posted. One of my latest was a funny one on how to stay warm in the winter! REALLY warm! Many of the blog entries were written in direct response to a mom's actual question re: some schooling glitch, disciplining a difficult child, how to get along better with your hubby, etc. May this info now add some "mother-savvy" to YOUR day and help you exchange perplexity for power!

Home for sale in Durango:
Looking to get out of the city? If you know of anyone interested in buying a home in Durango -- country living with city convenience -- check out this link. The October issue of Money Magazine included Durango (in beautiful southwest Colorado) among the top six retirement destinations. It considered towns that are close to water, have good medical care, relatively low taxes, affordable housing (ours is way below the average price for Durango), well-rounded communities, and lots of indoor and outdoor activities. It's our property. We just want to be more fleet-footed. But not to worry, our FLC mailing address here will remain the same indefinitely!
