Thing 23, At Last
May 10, 2008This has been a long and exciting road, but it’s very nice to be reaching the end. One of the ideas that has been intriguing me, is that new things keep getting thrown at me, and I don’t really have time to absorb them, before it’s time for the next thing. So, I shall use this Thing for absorption.
It may take a while.
I have not spent an equal amount of effort of each thing, because, obviously, some things I have not been very interested in. That’s one thing I really like about adult education. You can choose what it is you want to learn, based on where you are in your life.
One realization I’ve had for the last few weeks, is that I will have to review my whole blog, because I left little notes to myself about what I wanted to pursue further. What I do pursue will be what I have really learned. I hope I have learned a lot, because I certainly have been introduced to a lot.
So, standing out in my memory about the parts I liked best-adding a blog to a website. I started a bookblog for the library, and also did a blog for the Farmers’ Market about what was happening. This was an unexpected plus. (Had to go update that one.) I think it would be fun to have a blog of what’s happening after school on Thursdays. Of course, right now, we get there and they head for Magic School Bus games. Give them time.
Another, outstanding because I use it all the time, is del.icio.us. I’ve bookmarked some websites that I use at home, and want to find at the library. I love being able to easily find them, no matter where I am. Of course, my complaint about this is the same as for speed dial. My brain needs the exercise of remembering phone numbers and website addresses.
I hated my MySpace experience. It feels like meat on display, and I am the meat. On the other hand, the concept is great. There should just be a section for people who are not looking for mating. The ads are what makes it so objectionable. So maybe, in total, the experience is bad. But I do know what it is.
Just went down to check up on the little ones. 10 is still not nursing, according to everything I can see. Gave him a little bit of milk from Mama. Everyone else seems fine. We had an Open Barn today at 3:30. Nathan and Jessica came to visit and then Tenzin and his mom. Tenny brought his unfinished apple from lunch, and offered it to many, but soon discovered that Josephine would eat right out of his hand. So he brought her fistfuls of green grass. She loved it, and stopped stamping at him.
Lisa then came with her kids, Jenna taking pictures, and her whole extended family. While they were admiring, she milked Josie, got the lamb 10 to nurse a little bit, and wrapped up his legs so maybe he can walk straight.
Meanwhile Jessica and Nathan went out and got the triplets to play with them. They were carrying, petting, oogling and kissing those lambs. I would hear these weird sounds of lambs, and it was Nathan and Jess, mooing at the lambs. They’d come. What a pleasure. I LOVE having a barnyard filled with lambs and children.
No photos. Make a mental picture.
