Weekly Report Weeks #23-24

It has been difficult with no computer! I am going by what I remembered to write down and by what I remember... I miss having the ease of logging it in to the computer :(
We have had to find alternatives to a few of our regular studies as the instruction was on the computer- but we are getting by...
Lots more t.v. time than usual due to lots of time being stuck at work. Thank goodness for PBS and the history channel!
