The Learning: Blog Challenge?

Husbandman and I are spending about ten minutes a day learning Hebrew.  We don't know much yet, but we're getting there.  We're using a book, and a video series, and flash cards that we're making ourselves.  We know about 8 letters and a few phrases.  Our fabulous niece is already in Israel.  She's spending the year there because she's in the first year of rabbinical school.  I can't wait to see her and start showing off my Hebrew to her.  She won't be living in Haifa, but not too far away.  If we can get a car, we'll be able to visit her.  Right now the car situation is problematic.  I'll keep you posted on that.

In the spirit of learning new stuff, I thought a blog challenge might be in order.  30 to 35 entries about new learnings by July 31?  What say you?  Here's a link to a site about learning stuff. Let me know if you're in.  And you all better be in.  No excuses to not contributing to making this the premier blog challenge in the United States.

Right now I'm still cleaning out rooms. In the spirit of learning new things, I learned about a new useful object while cleaning out #1's closet. Way in the back we found something called a beer sling yesterday.  It had 4 beers in it.  #1 Son thought it was hilarious. He laughed quite a bit. I guess it's been back there for about 3 years and he had forgotten about it. I was glad to see the enjoyment he got out of finding the beer sling. I was also glad to learn about a new object, something I now like to call: the beer sling.
