Hestia Homeschool for Young Wild Women

Lauren Bradley spent the night tonight.  The girls took off to the Gold Star Chili parlour and got coneys for supper.  Later they walked up to the store to get candy, and they also walked around delivering Girl Scout cookies.  They had a busy night walking around!  We are truly fortunate that we live in a neighborhood where I feel comfortable letting them go walking around at night (although the last time they walked up to get candy I had them take the greyhounds.  WE know they are wusses--but most people just see big dogs. )  Tim also called Mandy from EKU, and Perry stopped over to hang around and debate Catholicism with me. (Perry is very devout, pre-Vatican 2).

At midnight--when they were supposed to be in bed--they came downstairs, curled up in the television room and watched an episode of The Forensic Files.  It was about a local case--a woman was murdered in Hamilton, Ohio. The killer defleshed her skull, dismembered her body, and pulled out the teeth...(and got sentenced to a whole twelve to twenty five years...and this was the mother of his child!) What makes it an especially noteworthy TV show in terms of homeschooling is the interviews with the Forensic Anthropologist on the show.  Her name was Dr. Murray, and she was at Mt. St. Joeseph's....I am hoping to contact her and see if she would do something for the Homeschooler's Forensic club.  It would be a really interesting experience for Mandy to meet this anthropologist she saw on television!  (I have a  BA in Applied Anthropology myself, so I am always happy to see Anthropology getting the respect I feel it deserves. )
