LadyM, I've been doing strawberries too! Gave ddil a bunch of them, and we had strawberries last night and (will have) again tonight. I got a gallon at the local produce farm, and we just can't eat a gallon before they go bad! I don't think dh likes them frozen, so it's hard to take care of a gallon at a time.
Did you find out if ds8 can continue his involvement at the public school next year? That would have been my only concern, b/c with the social interaction you've had so far, you have a perfect set-up -- as long as you can hold out to do the homeschooling yourself. I would want to keep at it until I was pretty confident the tics were not going to disrupt regular classes. IMHO -- far better for him to be homeschooling for a while WITHOUT tics, than to be trying to manage regular classes WITH tics, you know?
Oh my... paying $99 for email sounds pretty steep! We just updated our aol for about $5 a month, I think, but email was still available for free -- just without the aol homepage, the way I understand it. But I don't think they have taken down the old version yet, so I may not have had to do this at all.
I also need to expand my iCloud coverage on the smart phone. It isn't updating, and I'm afraid I'll lose all my contacts/apps/etc if/WHEN this phone dies. I'm not too awfully concerned about photos, bc I do update them frequently on the computer, but in between times, I guess I could lose a photo that was important.
Cannot stick around -- must cook supper. Trying to do a hole in my hamburger patties this time... y'all wish me luck!
