And I have to agree with this…

I am not on Facebook or Twitter, but I do have an Instagram account, so I know about wasting time. But as you can see, it is not all a waste of time.
Classes have started up again at my flyover institute. Busy, busy again. Thankfully I got all my Christmas decorations taken down and stored away over the weekend. The OM and the boy even took the extra leaf out of the dining room table and the wee laddie freaked out, screaming that they were breaking the table (“my table”). Who knew he felt so strongly about the table? Life can be very disturbing.


The wee babes are back in school too. It’s good to get back to a normal routine.
And lest we forget:
“When bad news is riding high and despair in fashion, when loud mouths and corruption seem to own center stage, when some keep crying that the country is going to the dogs, remember it’s always been going to the dogs in the eyes of some, and that 90 percent, or more, of the people are good people, generous-hearted, law-abiding, good citizens who get to work on time, do a good job, love their country, pay their taxes, care about their neighbors, care about their children’s education, and believe, rightly, as you do, in the ideals upon which our way of life is founded.”

Yes.

I love the David McCullough quote — and the story about the table leaf is priceless!
Really very smart of the little guy to be upset! Happy to be back in the swing of things—great reminders, here!
We never think about how little kids with no experience will react to things. We need to be more careful!
Yes, great reminders! What year did McCullough write that?
The book was published in 2017. I think this is from the preface. So timely.
