N F 5 D

Hello! When my husband didn't get his call sign for a website, he set this one up for me. For those who don't know what a call sign is, NF5D is the name of my ham radio station, or it would be, if I had a ham radio station. My husband finally did get his call sign for a website. It's AE5D dot com.

I have finished a book, after a sort, Bon Mots in Spanish — Ocurrencias en español, of Spanish words and phrases I thought were memorable as I learned the language. There are four parts: [1] [2] [3] [4]. Parts 1 and 2 are arranged by categories.

We have posted our homeschool report cards, if you'd care to have a look. Homeschool parents customize their teaching to their children, so this is not meant as a guideline - only what we did. They are from the second six weeks of the third grade, October 10, 1994, when we started homeschooling, to when he graduated from high school, May 22, 2004. As the Texas Home School Coalition T-shirt says, "I home school in Texas . . . where people are free!" The only stipulations are that we must teach the three R's and good citizenship and use books, which a bona fide homeschooler would do anyway.

For any who are curious about what happened when I went to teach at the local public high school after homeschooling for ten years, read
A Peek into the Public Schools,
My Personal Teaching Experience,
and Testimony of My Trial at the Public Schools.

Publishing her poems became my mother-in-law's raison d'être towards the end of her life. When she was 91 the Lord graciously opened her heart so she attended to the things of God (Acts 16:14). Somehow what had seemed so important before, paled in comparison. But taken in that light, these 168 poems, Dust Thou Art, bear record of her gifted ability.
