I've been starting to think about next year's studies, and we will be back to the ancient time period for history.  Yesterday I was writing down a list of events/people to study and of course the Phoenicians were on there.  Then I saw Stephanie's post and thought it was perfect timing =)  If you are looking for any kind of art or history ideas, Harrington Harmonies is the place to go!
