I finally got my crown!

4/17/2011

One of the things I was going to say on my last post is that I finally got my permanent crown on Wednesday!  Woohoo!   Someone said I'm now a queen, since I have a crown - ar ar ar.  The dentist originally said a crown for my tooth had about a 70% chance for success.  On Wednesday, he upped the odds to 85%.  So, hopefully my like 2 year ordeal with that tooth has come to an end! 
We are really enjoying our time here at the Perrella's.  They live on a lake, and it is so peaceful.  As Nicole mentioned in her blog post, they (the kids and Tim)  worked on Friday trying to clear the area from the dock to the lake.  Yesterday, the boys went out again for like 2 -3 hours and did more clearing, and we finally see a path all the way from the dock to the lake!  Nicole and I stayed inside the camper and cleaned away.  Here are some pictures showing all their hard work:
We had a lovely little church time today.  We gathered our camping chairs around our outdoor grass and enjoyed cool breezes while watching an alligator floating around, seeing a pink spoon bill flying by, and a couple of red tailed hawks flying overhead.  We felt like God was just showing off.  :-)  Today's Little Church theme seemed to be all about the Lord being our strength.  It was very cool.  Well, it is time for me to be signing off to say night time prayers with the kids.  Blessings to all.

Port Charlotte and more...

Well, as you may remember, we have been parked in our old neighborhood in our friends' backyard, and I have been working for his business in the mornings as an exchange for rent.  Well, as it has been getting warmer here in Florida we've needed to run our air conditioner more.  Unfortunately, it kept tripping our breaker, so it would only run a little while and then the breaker would trip.  Tim replaced the 20 amp breaker in their house breaker box with a 30 amp, but we still had the problem.  An electrician replaced the plug on the side of the house that we were plugged into, but we still had the problem.  So last Friday I had the bright idea of testing this further at our friends', the Perella's, house.  They have a dedicated 30 amp, so we came over on Saturday and plugged in and voila, no problem at all.  Our breaker hasn't tripped once.  We had already planned on having dinner together with them Saturday night, so we enjoyed what they call a 'dining experience'.  :-)  Then Sunday we went down to Port Charlotte for a lovely visit with my family.  Here are some pictures below:
Tuesday, Nathan and Nicholas did a great job helping Mr. Perrella with his lawn.  Nicholas has become quite the weed wacker, and Nathan cut his teeth on a zero turn radius lawn mower.  He looked like a pro!  I wish I had taken a picture of them.  The lawn looks fabulous!
Well, we are in the home stretch of the school year, and every year the kids have taken SAT's (not the college version) that I have sent into the county to verify we are actually doing school.  When we took off on the road I had no idea what we were going to do about that this year, but now I have another reason to be thankful we are here right now.  Today they are taking day 1 of a 2 day SAT test (they will do day 2 next Thursday),  and I'm looking forward to seeing how they're doing.  A lot of homeschoolers do what they call portfolio reviews, where a certified teacher checks their main work for the year and signs a paper saying they have achieved growth.  I've always wanted to do the standardized test because I want to know which areas they are doing well in and which areas we may want to focus on for improvement for next year.   We need to get going, but I have more to say, so I'll try to do another blog entry tomorrow.  Blessings!
