Interesting Friday Five that I have no answers for, yet
A thought provoking questionnaire this week! I'm going to have to seriously consider the answers. Anyone have thoughts on what they would do?

Water Heater -- Poof!
Friday I came home to a kitchen full of soaked towels because our water heater decided to burst. (Yes, my water heater is in the house, in my kitchen. Silly, I know but it's an old house.) We wanted to re-locate it anyway but were hoping to do it on our schedule.

Books in Review - 2008 Edition
Well, I'm not going to make my goal of 12,000 pages read, but I did read more than last year. I managed to get over 10K, so 85% of my goal isn't too bad.

To be a part of this...
This is an amazing article about the last surviving, American WWI soldier and a high school class with a phenomenal teacher. I wish the papers were filled with more of these kinds of stories. What a difference this teacher and experience will make in the kids' lives. -
