Pete took a train to Ukraine today, and is touring the resort town of Odessa on the Black Sea.
Yeah, but look what I get to do:
"I dispense the honey of the Holy Scriptures,
the old wine of the classics,
the fruit of grammar,
and the dazzling splendor of the stars."
-- Alcuin (an English monk who created a palace school, under the reign of Charlemagne)
I like to remind myself of this quote; teaching sure sounds magnificent the way he puts it! Much better than "I'm reading verses, making my kids read books, drilling grammar rules and math facts, and going through a science book."
So the kids and I are having a wonderful day. :)
And hopefully Pete is, too.
