Dear Boundless Families: The kids returned yesterday from a two-day river journey deep in Quebec Wilderness. They stepped off the bus beaming. Pride was oozing out of their pores. And they were eager for a mattress.  Lyal and Jaden boasted, "No dumps"! I reacted,...

Dear Boundless Families: Just two minutes ago, at 10:32 am, the first rays of the sun for the past three days just shined through my sulky window.  The river has swelled to seven times its volume since I last wrote. It's likely a clue to climate change, but I'm no...

Dear Boundless Families: It's just day three of the boarding school, and already problems are mounting.  Blame David. He's our new Math teacher. Such a rookie.  Kids have barely had time to settle into their beds, and already he is overwhelming them with daily math...

Dear Boundless Families: Gorgeous weather this Saturday morning, if you love Autumn. The weather has been so nasty it makes me wonder if we orbit a star. I've been wearing my winter hat. None of this deterred the Elders from camping in our meadows last night,...
