When you buy appliances, you have to really commit to using them. I have so many gadgets and over the years I’ve used them a lot. When we left Australia I had to leave everything. There was no point bringing anything electrical because the power is different. While America runs on Dunkin’, I mean 110volts, which if you put a …

Watching the Inauguration as a Foreigner

Edging toward Homeschool- Somebody please Stop me!
Homeschooling is the current buzz word. But it’s a scary word……It conjures up Laura Ingalls dress wearing, husband sharing, religious freak images….Doesn’t it? It’s for people on the fringe of society, those who think mainstream isn’t for them. And for the most part they are teased, the brunt of jokes and ostracised by society…….I’m guilty of it. No doubt. But …
