Now Come the Days of the King!

I began my school year with the words of King Theoden in the LOTR movie, "The Two Towers":  "And so it begins...".  The daunting task of Algebra, Geometry, Biology, etc. lay before me, so my own battle began, although I did not battle Orcks, lol  .  Well, today was the last day of homeschooling until this August, so now I can say the battle has ended.  And, in the words of Gandalf, "Now come the days of the king! May they be blessed."  I had a fantastic time getting to go thru "Literary Lessons from Lord of the Rings", I was definitely blessed by it.  So, I end this school year with my favorite part from near the ending of "Return of the King"....Aragorn's coronation.  Underneath this, you will find the Elfish words, the pronounciation, and the English translation of the song he sings after being crowned.

Et Eärello Endorenna utúliEt Eärello Endorenna utúlien
Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta

Eht Ay-are-ell-loh ehn-dore-ehn-nah oo-tool-ee-ehn
See-no-may mar-oo-vahn are Heel-deen-yar tehn Ahm-bar meht-tah.

Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come.
In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.

Happy Summer!

Yawn!

 Yawn!  Things have been kind of ho-hum around here lately with the usual schoolwork, music practice, and some yard work.  My recital piece is coming along fine and my flowers are starting to bloom.  I am doing pretty well with schoolwork and am in the homestretch...yay! Before I know it, we will be done with school and going off to the homeschool conference.  I am very excited, definitely looking forward to seeing some friends, visiting the book fair, and attending the workshop on fantasy literature.  I will also be getting to volunteer at the Children's Conferene that will be happenning on the second/third days of the conference.  It is for children ages 5-12.  I will be volunteering as a group assistant to a small group of children, assisting in various activities and programs they will have going on for the kids.  I am so looking forward to this, it sounds like it will be fun working with the kids.  My younger sister, Puppyprincess, will be attending the conference since she is young enough to go to it, so she is excited too!   Well, that's about it for now, I need to get going to music lessons now, have a great day...and oh, enjoy another funny cat picture, lol!
