HSMJ - Having to eat my words

Fireworks at Docklands Melbourne 27/07/12
In my life this week…
I have had to eat my words on this blog.  I signed a Blogging with Integrity pledge when I first started blogging and was startled this week when I logged on and found two comments pending on my Cranky Old Man post. I am so pleased that he took the time to write to me and let me know that the photo on my blog was his personally and no I did not have permission to use it.
   
In our homeschool this week…
  • We have been on holiday :o)
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…
  • Now, an older woman in the Lord, I can tell you that a parent’s imperfect efforts to home educate will bear more fruit than an environment that puts a strain on the parent-child relationship and obscures the Savior. The righteousness you long for, in your precious family, by God’s generous grace can be yours. - Karen Andreola  (Safe in My Garden)
I am inspired by…

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
  • On Monday Sir N had a sleepover at his Aunts place and had so much fun.
  • On Tuesday we went to the RAAF museum and were blessed with some goodies from there.
  • Wednesday - Swimming
  • Thursday - A day at home and resting
  • Friday we went to Docklands in Melbourne to watch the fireworks display. It rained and we all got soaked to the bone and built a wonderful memory.


My favorite thing this week was…
  • My Surprise 40th Birthday Party on Saturday evening. I felt so deeply loved and appreciated.

What’s working/not working for us…


Questions/thoughts I have…
  • I have been blessed with a Toshiba AT300 Tablet for my birthday.  Can you recommend some Android Apps ?
Things I’m working on…
  • Looking for something sporty for Sir N to enroll in.  This term we are going to be trying out Kelly Sports.  We start next Tuesday.
  • My summary post for Expedition Earth - South Africa
I’m reading…
I’m cooking…
  •  
On Pinterest I found...

I’m grateful for…
  • To all my friends and family who took the time to put together a Surprise Birthday Party for me on Saturday night and who blessed me with the most beautiful gifts.

  1. Happy birthday, Chareen! I'm glad you had a special day.

    My understanding of the copyright laws are that, as soon as a photo appears on Facebook, FB owns the copyright - not the original owner. As an artist, I received advice not post on FB because of the loss of copyright. I thought you were very gracious, Chareen - particularly, after I read the photographer's post:-/

    Thanks for the great links, again, my friend!

    God bless you, Chareen:-)

  2. Chareen,

    I've got an iPad but a lot of the same or similar apps are available for android tablets.

    Here's a few favourites:
    Pixl-r-omatic - a fantastic photo editing app
    Audiobooks
    X Construction - a great physics app (we have SimplePhysics but this looks like a similar android version)
    Memories: The Diary - this looks a bit like iPad's iNotebook
    GobyNote - this looks similar to an iPad app that I use for errands lists
    Weatherzone
    Brainpop
    Photo grid - a photo collage app
    other apps for ABC shows, Kindle, Blogger, banking, budgeting, etc.

    God bless, Chareen:-)
