    You guys are so sharp! I can't keep track of birthdays. But happy birthday, Cindycated. Thanks, Awsum, for alerting us.

    I guess it's time for another tutoring report, though nothing too momentous has happened. The 2 girls, who are friends and who are both in 3rd grade, though not in the same classroom, have colds, so I figure I'm next, but maybe somehow my immune system will fend it off. Probably not, but I can...

    I'm so sorry to hear about all the problems -- Liscab's death and Q's tree.

    Lizzie, the horse training (and kid training, too) goes up and down without a steady climb upward. When it goes down, of course we worry and try to think what we did wrong, but sometimes, it just comes back, unless we are really doing something wrong. When I trained Penny, I had no idea of how...

    I haven't given a tutoring report in a while because nothing too momentous has happened. The little boy is learning more and more English, though he still doesn't understand more than a few simple things. One thing I've been doing with him is to give him a blank paper with lines for uppercase...

    Happy belated birthday, Trit & Wuzz! Uncle, you're so good to keep track of these for the rest of us space cadets.

    I'm glad you're having a beautiful day. Here, it started to rain, and we might get some snow this weekend. I can't believe it! But tomorrow, both Bill & I have appointments to have our winter tires put on our cars, so we'll be all set. Lizzie, I think the pony is testing you to see if he can...

    The other day the boy asked about Eskimos. I forget how the subject came up, but he knew about them from cartoons but thought they were imaginary. I just sent him this wonderful movie about them, Nanook of the North. If any of you haven't seen it, it's worth watching.

    Celtic, thats wonderful that you are going to help your neighbors. Yes, even if you are earning less than the going rate, it's a good thing. Tell me about it. I'm sure the tutoring I do is way below the going rate, but it's so fulfilling that I don't care. The money I get after all the time...

    Wow! Tonight, Bill came home from work and said the Egyptian guy who makes deliveries for the Chinese restaurant wants me to tutor his kids. This business is expanding. Now I'm tutoring 4 kids, and I don't know how many the Egyptian guy wants me to add to it or anything about it except that I...

    I'm sure Turkey has changed a lot. It's changed a lot here in the USA, too. For instance, the boy I tutor had the idea that at some point, he could learn all the words in the English language. I explained how that wasn't possible, since new words come up all the time, and old ones go out of...

    It's interesting that Deniz Gezmis is so respected now. When I was in Turkey in 1971, he was considered a troublemaker. Maybe he was presented that way because the military had control of the government. I just read up on the situation on the Internet, and I still don't understand much of it. I...

    Thanks, Awsum. Now I do remember Lizzie mentioning going hunting. We're into fall here, too. The leaves are changing, and it's definitely cooler than it was. We've had more rain recently, too. We needed it because just a few weeks ago, there was a dry spell. The latest with the restaurant...

    Where's Lizzie? It's been a couple of days since we heard from her, and usually she posts every morning. Lizzie, are you OK?

    I wonder what Turkey is like today and how it differs from when I was there so long ago. Yes, the political situation was disturbed, but I had no real idea of what was going on. My FIL refused to discuss it when I asked. I wondered if he just didn't want to get into a political discussion or if...

    Welcome canevar! You are reading way back! Actually, I think the fish looked more slender like the palamar. Could that be it? Are you Turkish? I assume you're familiar with Turkey and the Izmir area to know what kind of fish they eat. Tell us about yourself.

    One option is to get a rain sheet for Glitch. Its like a horse blanket, but it doesn't have the stuffing to keep a horse warm, just a waterproof shell, like a raincoat for humans. It will keep his body dry but not his neck and head, but the body is what's most likely to get cold. I've read that...
