I have come to resent the English program at Schalmont (my school district) for not teaching good grammar skills, it has really hurt me trying to learn language. It is hard to know what an indirect object is in Greek when you don't know what one is in English. My dad, who was an English teacher before becoming assistant principle told me that there was a movement away from teaching grammar in the 90s, sweet...thanks English educators for being dumb.
We've had a few people over this week at times for meals and it has been fun. It is nice to host people in our new place.
We got a KitchenAid mixer for a wedding gift. I've used it twice already. I made cookies today (they were awesome) and I made bread yesterday. The bread turned out about 75% good I'd say. Yeast is tricky and the bread tastes good but didn't rise a ton and thus is only about an inch tall. Oh well, it's a learning process.

FYI, you clearly did not learn how to spell principal. And as for grammar instruction, it does not necessarily make you a better writer, but it does help when learning a foreign language. Greek is probably easier because there are many Greek words in the English language. By the way, didn't realize you were back to blogging.
By the way, Mom says hi! Me 2.
Bread is tricky to make. I cheat and use a bread-maker, but the more power to you for doing it the real way. Hope all is well in NJ.
