I was lamenting in a recent email to a friend who had made us a cake from a box that was DELICIOUS for K's birthday. We made one from scratch at home that we ended up throwing away it was so bad tasting! It got me thinking...if we can buy it cheaper, fix it faster, make it easier, use it longer, it's better quality AND it tastes better, how are the "lost arts" going to serve us?
M helps me with this a lot and talks me through it. But it took 9 hours to make our skirt and cost three times as much in materials. I could have gotten it for 11 bucks at Wal Mart! Yeah, yeah I know...I will SAVE that skirt for forever. I will frame it. And HANG it in the living room after each girl outgrows it!
But also the cake tasted better.
And the ointment I buy at Walgreen's works better than the herb poultice that never gets put together at home.
(My herbs in Vero are growing beautifully by the way and if we ever need to make 147 pots of spaghetti sauce so I can chuck in all that Basil, great!)
I am afraid, no matter how I slice it, store bought or home baked, this bread of homeschooling may have to consider being reformed.
Computer savvy, business from home, advanced learning?
Who knows, but I am still going to keep working on those cinnamon rolls!
