Hi Donna,
  Got our bbs fixed so I can chat again...did you decide to
homeschool next year or still in the consideration mode?  I love GCB
and always want lots.  I'll be sending you an email (internet) about
books.  If you don't get it by Fri, shout and I'll try again.  We'll
be using Bob Jones for Melody's third grade (I want to improve her
test taking skills) and want to get her well grounded in the basics.
That's my new philosophy.  Get your kids well grounded in reading,
writing and 'rithmatic then move into unit studies after they've
mastered the fundamentals...well, mastered might be stretching it,
but you get my point...  TTYL!
