I hope you do get to go on road trips. Do you think there are particular ways your wife wouldn't mind going as much like maybe in an RV or really comfy car, promising her favorite dinners out or things like that?Washington has some very good schools, and if you stay away from the Seattle area the cost of living isn't too bad. Kind of like Massachusetts and Boston I guess. WSU is a good engineering school, and cost of living is pretty low there, but winters are cold... Its also not far from the University of Idaho, another good school, not in Washington, but close.
I wish I could do more road trips, but my wife is not willing... maybe one day.
Thanks so much for the tips on colleges. I am awash in a sea of information and having some real world advice is really nice and helpful! I'll definitely look these up!
I love her personality so much. People who tell you exactly what they think can be so refreshing and inspirational and it was incredibly interesting how she thought!Temple Grandin is amazing!
The Temple Grandin book on animals sounds so gratifying. Let me know what you think!This makes me happy
I just ordered a Temple Grandin book from the library ("Animals Make Us Human").
I'm glad that K is processing the breakup well. What a great Mum you are, M. I'm glad you're so good at researching. I couldn't live where it was either really cold or really hot. You have so many things to consider! My late BIL grew up in Seattle and did his undergraduate work at the University of Washington. I'll send you a link about him. I really miss him.
I am really trying to be a good mom and I am happy that K wants me to help her with everything she's been going through. I am just astounded with how much K has had to go through lately. She's really strong, thank goodness.
I agree about not too hot or cold. We definitely want the Goldilocks climate where there is some cold so we'll be able to afford to live there, and some warm so we want to!
Thanks Liza. I am still feeling under the weather from the smoke on vacation, but the stretching I am getting in feels wonderful!Isn't it amazing when you start to stretch and breathe all the tension you discover that you never even knew was there!
Great you are doing that for yourself!
Not much to report. We took the first month or so of summer and did homeschooling in a relaxed way, and now we need to get serious and do a lot each day and get packed and ready to spring into action - if only I knew where we were springing to!
