>> I know live about 4 hours from you, near Tryon, NC<<

I haven't been able to catch up entirely on all the digests of the last day,
but I wanted to do a quick intro and tell Ann in NC that I'm near Greenville,
SC, not far away. Also we're looking hard and heavy into moving up your way.
We want to move to Saluda which is right down the road from you. We have real
estate guides from up there coming out of our ears right now! It's probably a
pipe dream until our 18 year old gets out of college though :( Maybe we can
meet sometime?

I've been homeschooling my 8 year old son for a year now. I'm didn't unschool
this year but I'm so intrigued by it. My husband is supportive of
homeschooling but not of unschooling. He is an engineer so he insists that we
cover math every day. I love math myself and want my son to enjoy it so I
like working with him on it. Other than that we were pretty loose, but I
cannot claim the unschooling tag. We are taking a little summer break from
even the math right now and my son has delighted us by immediately wanting to
learn about Native Americans and ancient Egypt. If the summer continues like
this, perhaps my husband will look more favorably upon unschooling.

I also have two older children, daughters 18 and nearly 22. They weren't
homeschooled but now that they see how much fun their brother has, they wish
they had been. I never considered it when they were young since I thought
homeschooling could only be very structured and very religious, neither of
which we were. There are many many homeschoolers in Greenville but they are
nearly all fit that profile. (Greenville is the home of Bob Jones University,
known for very structured homeschooling materials) Since we don't want to
join a statement of faith homeschool group, we don't have too many homeschool
families to hang out with. I have met a few though and I'd love to meet more.

That's about it for us. I'm enjoying this list but I don't know when I'll
ever catch up with all the mail!!
