The Library Tour



Hey all,

Here's the video tour of the library, isn't it beautiful?? Maybe I'm biased. It may not look like much, but compared to what it was just a few short years ago, it's amazing! And we have something like over 6000 books.

Right now I'm living with Elisa in the zona sur while her parents are away, stay tuned for pictures of me covered with cat hair! She has two beautiful cats, and it's been such a nice treat to sit and read a book while cats sit and sleep on me. I'm also getting my first little taste of being a mom who homeschools - on Monday I was frantically trying to make lunch while also checking Elisa's math work. May I just say, to all you homeschooling moms out there, I have even more respect for you now than I did before!

Thanks to everyone who has commented or checked the blog, it's very encouraging.

Oooh, check out this exciting news! I've been slowly reading through the book of Luke, and I keep on wishing I could read a commentary on it, but I never get around to looking for one. But I found one here at the Schulz apartment, and even though it's in Spanish, I've been reading it and understanding it perfectly! Well, 95% anyways, which is still pretty amazing.

More again soon!
Love to all,
Rachael

Great to see your 3rd video - you're becoming quite an expert. The library looks well managed. Now I'm looking forward to the next video - will it be you+cat+reading book? A suggestion for the future - do you think Jeremy could be convinced to make a cameo appearance?

So congrats on fulfilling your 1st Spanish contract. Carlos' idea of 10 new words/week seems doable.

Have a good rest of the week,

The library looks good! How do you deal with students who don't return books on time? Do you charge late fees, or do you just hunt them down in the middle of the night? Or do people never have overdue books because they love & respect you so much??

So Rach, when you quickly panned the reference section was that perhaps, gasp, World Book Encyclopedia?! The green and beige looks somehow familiar! I guess it's a Robertson thing, kinda like taking pictures of trains, or having a train traveling through ones wedding reception! Ha, ha! Love you!
