This is her first day of public school ever, and the end of homeschooling. She got up at 6:45am and was gone on the bus before we knew it. Time flies, in all kinds of ways! Have fun Wrenny! :-)
Go Wrenny! :P
If you have been following the torrents, BSG was really fun at first. Almost the whole first season was available before the show premiered in the US (it had been shown in the UK first). So we were pulling down huge gulps of it, and it was delicious. But it’s been a long time since...

This was such a kickin’ good time in so many ways. An entire green village was available pre-show for us to explore. We got a nice little booklet explaining all the green steps taken by Jack on the tour. He donates 100% of profits to charities – YES 100%!! and he did the same on the...
Here’s the 17 pounds of food we ate...
