A joke for you...

Q: How does a homeschooler change a light bulb?

A: First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of
light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life. Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles. Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill. On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill. Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed. And there is light. ~Author Unknown

How true!!hehehe
I am so glad that you are doing so well after all that you've been through. You are still in my thoughts and prayers. I read your post below about having family visiting. I am glad that you at least had some fun with them during their visit.
Thanks for your question about the cookbook. I left an answer on my blog in case anyone else wondered. Basically the cookbook is pretty easy to follow. It has some basic cooking instructions then a lot of good recipes.
~Have a blessed day.
