Wind, Soup and a Good Book

With winds at 20-35 mph and gusts reaching 50, needless to say, it is just a might bit windy here today. Ah, spring here in the desert of Las Vegas. At least it is only 80 degrees out. A relief from yesterday's 92!

Taking an easy day today, we headed out to the library after working on some Math. Josh finds it just so amusing that I am always on the lookout for new picture books in the kids section. I love picture books! He had to laugh when I spotted a new one titled, What to Do About Alice? by Barbara Kerly.
Teddy Roosevelt is a hero of Josh's and he often shares his favorite TR quote about Alice, "I can be president of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly DO BOTH." This picture book of TR's daughter is a little gem. I love reading about historical figures in this format. It makes the stories of our nation and its people accessible to those young and old alike! I shared a few things with Josh that were in the book and even he learned a new thing or two.

Lunch was a bowl of leftover 15 bean soup made using the ham bone from the Easter ham which I had frozen ... yummmm....



good food, a good book.... life is good!

Change in career path

There has been evidence around the house lately that Josh's choice of careers may be changing... again.

When he was young he wanted to be a marine biologist.

Then he decided he wanted to be an historian or college history professor or both.

Next he thought he might like to try his hand at being an architect.

Back to the historian/history college professor.... and now he has left a path of these books around....

I'm thinking he may be on the path of the architect again!
