My Weekend

So, this is what I did this weekend...what did you do?
All the words on the right side were originally in Greek font, but I guess Blogspot doesn't have Greek. It also doesn't keep the formatting of the original copy I copied this from. It was originally much more organised.

Wow, Bob, you're learning a LOT! Cassie and Caroline are diagramming English - piece of cake compared to your diagram.

What did WE do this weekend?

We went to a Bob Dylan concert in Portland - way cool.

And Joe translated some Greek, too, along with other homework. He earned an 'A' on his first Greek test. He can attest, it's complex.

Keep up the good work!

Hey, did you guys get your bathroom fixed?

Good for Joe. I didn't know he was learning Greek. Tell him to learn the preposition endings NOW!! Arg..I still don't have those down. If I were teaching Greek, that's where I'd start. 'Course, if I did, most of my students would start crying and fall on the floor in a fetal position.
As for the bathroom, I did't know it was broken. I'll have to check on that.....

Well, perhaps it's not the 'bathroom', but just the throne. Karen wrote in her blog weeks ago, "Robert and I are battling our upstairs toilet, which is a joy. We are also at war with our water system. " It must be done, or you would notice it. :-)

Yes, Joe is attending Gutenberg College full time (in Eugene, a Christian college) and Greek is one of the subjects. I'll pass your advice on to him Thanks! He's also taking Euclid Math, Microexegesis, West. Civ., Art History, and some other classes. Full days. Lots of homework.

Thought of you when we had our carpets cleaned a couple of weeks ago and the company did a subpar job! "We need Bob!" Tom and I said!
