Ringing the Bell...reasons we homeschool

moments like this - of creative quality innovative moments - just cannot be had during the regular schooldays of an 8-3 schoolhouse...


i received a pressure canner from my grandmother...it is an older model, but still quite useful...it needed a new seal and gauge...the hubby went and got these last week and repaired it for me...


the child decided today to clean the canner/cooker for me and scrubbed it well...he then discovered that spoken into, it makes for quite a good echo effect...then he thumped it for a bit and discovered it made a good bell sound...well of course, then he became creative...

homemade/homeschool oil lamps

I had recently read an article about how to make a homemade oil lamp in a pinch (or catastrophe event perhaps). I have been wanting to try this with my son. Perhaps one day, hidden away from the interference from sassenach, this skill will be useful. We did follow the instructions...some things worked better in writing, than in actuality. We finally found something that worked in the end... We found a good shell to use to hold the oil. You are supposed to use one that can be supported on the base, so the oil will not run out...and is slightly fluted on one end to hold the wick. The wick was supposed to be any type of fibrous natural substance. You are supposed to be able to use any type of oil or fat. We tried first to use plant fibers and some yarn... We tried Canola Oil first, because I had some in the cabinet that I wanted to get rid of... We filled the shell with the canola oil...I did steady it using a box lid from a jewelry gift box. W
