I have to take Sarabelle to the doctor this afternoon at 3:30, but the kids and I are going to try to be there, at either the Fort Myers or Sarasota location. I can't believe there are three within a relatively short drive from our house.

I'm a secular homeschooler, too, and I always feel embattled by the Christian homeschool resources during this time of year as I curriculum shop for the next year. My son enters highschool next year and I'm freaking out.
It's hard to find secular homeschool groups, too. I'd love to be able to swap ideas with another heathen educator!
I have a blog at wordpress -- beckyblackpowell.wordpress.com
schol' a: 1) An intermission of work, leisure for learning, learned conversation, debate, disputation, lecture, dissertation. 2) A meeting place for teachers and pupils, place for instruction, place of learning, school. 3) The disciples of a teacher, body of followers, school, sect. 4) An acronym for my tortuous blog title "Secular Classical Homeschoolers' Odyssean Learning Adventure." 5) How my Boston cousins pronounce "scholar." 6) Someone who studies at 10 o'clock for a dilla or a dolla.
These are the blatherings of an introverted, autodidactic, champion of The Enlightenment raising three daughters. At one time or another we have homeschooled, public-schooled, Catholic-schooled, cyber-schooled, unschooled, and even threatened boarding school. We have been inspired variously by The Well-Trained Mind, A Thomas Jefferson Education, and Climbing Parnassus, tempered by the writings and wisdom of Charlotte Mason, John Holt, Benjamin Franklin and Michel de Montaigne.
I try not to get wrapped up in labels, but we are secular and we are classical-ish.
We travel. A lot. Sometimes to the other side of the state and sometimes to the other side of the planet. Join us on our journey as we search for our home, navigate the waters of self-education, lounge with the lotus-eaters, and bash a Cyclops or two.
