The Catalogs are coming! The Catalogs are coming!

Catalog season is upon us! That means spring is nearly here! I had great hopes the weather would continue to agree with that, but with the snow and blowing yesterday it looked more like December!

However, I have my Sonlight catalog in hand, which tells me milder days are right around the corner. If you don't have your catalog yet, you soon will.

I think I'd mentioned telling my "catalog story". Every year I am impatient and eager for the Sonlight catalog. I love to read it cover to cover and see all the new books and changes and updates to the Instructor's Guides.

Some years ago, my family thought they'd play a hilarious trick on me. Hilarious to them, that is! When the long-awaited catalog arrived, my husband, enlisting the children in on the secret, hid the catalog under my pillow. He thought I'd be delighted to find it as I went to bed.

That evening he was working on taxes (yes, it's that time of year too). He wanted me to be around in case of questions, finding any documentation, etc. I had a book going I wasn't really all that interested in, and was restless and bored for the couple of hours he was doing taxes.

When I finally went to bed, a tad irritable anyway, what did I find... my catalog. I was furious.

"You HID my Sonlight catalog!? WHY?? What were you thinking? I could have been reading THIS for the last 2 hours! AGH!"

LOL. Needless to say, ever since, when my catalog arrives, it is carefully and immediately delivered safely into my hand. For the rest of the day, they know it's not much use to ask Mom anything, she's busy reading the catalog!

I hope you enjoy yours as well. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me!
