In 1913...

Woodrow Wilson was the president.
Crosswords and stainless steel were invented.
Milk was $0.35 a gallon, bacon $0.25 a pound.
And, Braison and Lilian's great-great-grandmother was born.

Happy 101st birthday grandma Shirley!

There Comes A Time...

...when every young person has to give their first oral presentation.  That day was today for Braison and Lilian.  There project was to research a mammal of their choosing, create a visual board with facts, then present it to the class.  I work next door, so when I heard they were giving theirs, I snuck in to watch.

The kids did great and even fielded questions at the end.  Amazingly enough, it was Lilian who spoke so quietly that the kids had a hard time hearing her....

Wordless Wednesday

A Little Green Thumb

The kids were growing weeds plants at school, which they got to bring home with them.  Lilian apparently inherited my lack of a green thumb.

They can't wait to take their crabgrass and plant it at home :)  Yay!
