Well...the class is not as fun as the first 2 classes. Reason? The first 2 classes used a graduated reader, designed to progress from easier to harder with 1 continuous story using a standardized spelling. And I'm totally impressed with the guy that wrote the book -- I mean truly, total respect to the author!
In the third class, we are now reading actual texts, but the spelling is NOT standard, and we are reading less interesting things, starting with:
But I soldier on. Next stop, Genesis. I think that this might be more interesting since I'm hoping for some real story lines. I haven't looked ahead because I like to be surprised. Figure we'll get the creation story with Adam and Eue in Neorxnawang (paradise). Also hoping for Cain and Abel.
Then onto the Anglo Saxon Chronicles! Blood, guts, glory!
After that will come poetry -- harder, but preparing for Beowulf. This is something I think I'll enjoy also.

Went back to the County to visit Mom and sisters and brother-in-law on Mother's Day. Mom looked good.
She is resting; waiting. I noticed she put some blush onto her cheeks before I got there. Glad she had the energy to think about that 😊
Started with visit with Mom and the sister and bro-in-law who are her caregivers. Then sister closer in age came to join briefly. Then I left to pick cherries with the sister who is closer to me in age.
