Pat, you are so sweet to think about me. It has been a wild ride these last seven months. I feel like I am finally coming out of a fog. Miranda is 3 and half. Are there activities for her on Fridays? We are beginning to get stuff together for our hs. I am looking very heavily into unschooling, but I have serious reservations as to whether I can take myself out of the equation enough kwim?

Hi Pat,
I miss you guys too! We have been out of town and adjusting to Jim being back to work! Which is a good thing! We are out of town again next week, but plan to be at the Rec. Center on 9/25. Hope to see you there. I would love some kefir grains if you have some extra. My kombucha is doing great!
See you soon.

Hi Pat,

What a coincidence, I am also a critical nurse and have been for 10 years. I work part-time evenings, mostly week-ends. I homeschool my 10 year old daughter.

Hi there! We have two boys - Gabe (8 in Oct) and Riley (almost 3) and a girl - Imogen (13 months).

Not sure exactly where we'll end up in Charlotte! DH's office is uptown and we're NOT happy about what most of the commute times look like... We'll have temporary housing for up to 60 days in south charlotte (I think? steele creek or ayrsley) so we'll use that time to hopefully find someplace permanent. (Any recommendations? Our realtor recommended south charlotte but I wasn't in love with it when I was there... it's just SO different from where I live now... I'm used to more walkable areas, less isolated "communities".)

Are there good homeschooling groups in Charlotte? I homeschooled my oldest son for 2 years but ended up sending him to school this year for my sanity. Homeschooling with two kids under 2 was a little more than I could handle! I like to keep the option open for the future though... I'm not sure it's worth enrolling him for school in August if we'll be moving to a permanent house in Oct you know?

Whew that was longer than I meant it to be. Mostly I meant to say... hi!

Nope. :)

She was just checking the sites she frequents (she's in charge of an AP group in Alberta) to see if she could find anything I was missing.

You are officially my hero. I've been looking for an AP group for months now! Your comment on the mothering.com forum was seen by a friend of mine in Canada who was helping me search. Thank you! :D

I LOVE red wine. That's my passion. I work for Wines for Humanity. I conduct wine tastings and a portion of the proceeds go to charity.

I am working on organizing a tasting. I think the theme will be organic wine and vegetarian dishes that compliment them. My mouth is watering right now.

Dear Pat - I'm responding to the email I received about low turnout. I didn't know where to respond, so perhaps I'm responding in the wrong place, but perhaps this explains why I never show up... I find this website confusing, & I only get emails about the gatherings occasionally, & I never remember to check the website. Is it just me, am I missing something? Can you send emails to the group letting us know about the gatherings/topics/whatever? Could we possibly regroup on meetup.com? I am in a couple of meetup groups, & I get weekly emails that seem to be sent automatically & I find that easy to manage. Also, anything closer to Uptown would be a lot better for me! Just my two cents! Thanks for all your efforts! Kim

Hi Pat,

While I'm sad to hear about your Mom, I am glad to know that it was a positive experience for all.

I live in South Charlotte too - specifically Cotswold. Wow, that's cool that you home school. And what great photos!

As you suggested, I'll post my info in the member forum.

Looking forward to connecting and learning lots,

Penny

Hello Pat,

Thank you for your comment back. When I was younger I was able to stay at a kibutz in Israel, never forgot it. Great concept. I believe that it would be impractical here.

I was blessed with phenominal parents we lost my father three years ago. He purchased the farm after retiring from the miltary and ran it as a hobby.He would sell Organic tomatoes for .50 cent a pound and you couldn't walk out the peach stand with out fruit rolling out of the basket.

I hope to get enough of a settlement so that I can go to Germany and have surgery. That will put me back in the game. I can't pursue labor intensive projects. I have heard that raw milk is in demand that would be a very easy steady income for me to hire someone full time. I could easily add eggs. With the produce profits "prayerfully" I want to build a small USDA slaughter house so that I can directmarket a private source of meat,poultry and dairy on a low scale low impact. I might be nuts but I think thats a good plan.

I would like to come to one of your meetings and get any feedback from you or your friends through this website. If you would like something specific planted that would not be a problem. Should I plant a 100 cabbages or 500. I have never grown for a family before. I have a lot to learn from you.

I am sure you know that small gardens will produce an abundance of produce, If someone wanted me to grow their own small garden I am open to ideas.

Well I need to go feed the cows. It is beautiful outside.

These are the ideas I have I hope they are to your liking.

Doug

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving poison ivy itch?  I'm new to holistic treatments, and hubby has a small case of what he thinks is poison ivy or oak on face and hands.
