There is intelligent life after homeschooling . . .

Not that I had any doubts about his intelligence, but it was nice to have my son's brains assessed in the public forum and found viable! In other words, he did great on his college assessment test. Language scores were high. Math was in line with the rest of our family none of which ever longed to be math majors.

My son mentioned that between the coffee drink and an energy bar, he felt good during the test although a bit nervous. It was a three-hour test and he finished in under an hour which made the protor wonder how he did. She was pleased that he was quick because he knew the stuff. A great session with a counselor and we are set and hopeful for getting a few classes in the Spring.

On the way home, we got another blessing of sorts. I treated him and myself to a drink and fries since we had missed the lunch hour with all this. The cashier at the drive-thru forgot our fries and the manager gave them to us for free!

As we approached our house, we got yet another blessing of sorts. We couldn't get into the garage because the city was fixing a water pipe leak in the street outside our house. They said they would only be another 20 minutes. Turns out that our day away from home was well-planned by 'someone' because the water had been off in our house for the two or three hours they were working on this . . . and we hadn't been home to be inconvenienced by it. God certainly gave us some great treats today. All this and Adoration, too, on a sunny Friday.
