Shop, Eat, and be Merry!

We went shopping today at Sam's for our 2nd big grocery purchase. We spent $874 on the first purchase and only $630 today. We eat better than I ever eat at home. All of our parents would be proud to see their own children cooking the most gourmet meals. We have a salad with at least 10 toppings every night and we are having grilled pork chops with roasted corn on the cob tomorrow night! The students have learned how to dice, cut, slice, saute, fry, grill, and boil. They eat heartily at lunch and would make you proud!



Our first laundry experience went off without a hitch. It was the fastest trip to the laundry we have ever had. The students had their clothes folded and packed back in their bags in record time.

The students are conserving their money for the final destination of Yellowstone. Thanks for trusting us with your children. I have the greatest group of adult helpers! We have Wes, Rita, Kristi, Cas, Abigail, Carole, and Debbie (along with my son Jeff and his wife Mary). By the way, Mary taught at Freedom until I introduced her to Jeff. See, there are a lot of benefits to teaching!!

  5. Hey Daniel! I sure hope you're all having a great time. Have you seen a moose yet? Looks like you've had your fill of bison, elk and deer. Don't forget to take plenty of pictures and maybe give your old Dad a call sometime (HINT, HINT).
