HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

 

 

Happy New Year to ALL.

We are back from "vacation."  We had a fabulous holiday, full of love and magic and traditions. We were all together as a family, such a wonderful peace. We had some trials through it all, cancelled flights and last minute arrivals, and that much dreaded phone conversation from the State Patrol that Shirah had been in an accident, as she was returning from dropping people at the train station. It was a miracle that she was just banged up and bruised and not hurt worse. My Suburban took the worst of it, which is as it should be, it can be fixed. Thanks to Geico's fast response with a rental truck we were back on track and delivering everyone to their airports in no time, only to find that a flight had been cancelled in error and the last minute hurry up to get it rescheduled.  Through it all we held each other up, chipped in and covered members who were low on cash and hugged our way through. 

One again...for the first time in 4 years we were complete. This Mom was at Peace. 

Shirah is doing well, has a wrist injury and shoulder and neck injury which should heal well. She is getting some massage and physical therapy which should help a lot. I thank the Source that she is alive and doing well. Her and I have both talked and assured each other of our belief that there are no random acts. This car accident is as it should be. We may never know the full reason, but we came up with a lot of possiblities that ease the worry.

So....back to school. We are going to jump into the unschooling. I have been reading a lot and lurking on some of the lists, and learning so much. I am sure I will make many mistakes along the way but I am ready for something new. So, check back often and follow our progress along this new life journey.

Musa and Retta got a lot of neat stuff for Christmas. Retta got two archeaology kits and really cool board games. She also got her very own hammer and screwdrivers and wrenches. She was so happy. She also got her very own sewing machine and can't wait to start sewing. Musa got a Playstaion 2 and was soooo appreciative. He also got some neat science stuff and is at the park right now with Dad firing up his dragster--with REAL rockets.

2005......here we come!!!!!
