Too cool!  Swimming and lunch!  Water and wafers.  Fins and fish.  (Or
fish and fritters.)

Do you have any college?  I was able to get around that by my nursing

We have a room in the basement that I started to convert last year.
Besides the fact it would be too cold in the winter, I decided not to
relegate schooling to a separate area.  I like the spontaneous, grab the
dictionary/encyclopedia approach.  (We had a wonderful map-reading,
geographic vs. political map, alphabetizing, etc. lesson that was
generated by a simple question.  I doubt if it would have been so
willingly accepted if we had to get the 'CO' encyclopedia from
downstairs.)
Do you know anything about Email loops?  I've been reading about them on
AOL.  I think it would be wonderful to get something like that going
locally to share info that others wouldn't necessarily know about.
