Yesterday, I received an email from a local yahoo homeschool group that I belong to. A couple of ladies were inviting other homeschooling families to come join them for a day at the park. Well, being new to the area, I had no idea where the park was, but I was eager to start making contacts (and hopefully friends) in the area. I emailed one of the ladies to get directions.
