The children and I have been involved in a very special project this summer.  We call it Camp Trueheart.

In preparation for next year’s third grade Native American studies, I’ve asked some of our native friends to act as a sort of tutor to us all.  We’ve been meeting several times a week for the last month.

I really didn’t feel like I did this block justice when Iain was in third grade.  This is one of the things that I truly love about homeschooling multiple children.  When you feel like you haven’t covered something thoroughly enough, you have another shot at it when the next child reaches that stage!

And this has been so much better then anything that I could have done.  They’ve gotten to handle sacred objects, witness the Planting of the Corn ceremony and a Naming Ceremony; we’ve made medicine bags and dream-catchers.  They’ve had target practice with both bow and arrow and atlatl.  They’ve run obstacle courses to test their agility.  They have sat and listened while the Chief plays beautiful music on his hand carved flute.

These are all memories and lessons that will stay with them for a very long time, I am sure.

    According to my research, after a the foreclosure home is bought at a sale, it is common for any borrower in order to still have some sort ofthat remaining balance on the mortgage. There are many lenders who seek to have all expenses and liens cleared by the future buyer. On the other hand, depending on certain programs, rules, and state legal guidelines there may be a number of loans which aren’t easily handled through the exchange of lending products. Therefore, the obligation still lies on the customer that has had his or her property in foreclosure process. Thank you sharing your ideas on this web site.
