A mid-morning ride
A perfect day
for a ride in the wagon!
Bye bye!

It finally cooled off today. What a relief - I’m loving this chilly breeze.
Anyone want to join me for a cuppa?

I was positively delighted today to find that my local library had “The Great Courses” from The Teaching Company.
I picked up The Foundations of Western Civilization and began listening to it this evening in hopes it would be suitable for my 9th grader. It is - and I am thrilled to have this very valuable resource available. I’m also enthralled by them. I have listened to the first 3 lectures already (about 45 min. each) and am looking forward to hearing more tomorrow.
I also picked up The Great Ideas of Philosophy. . .because I do so like philosophy.
Check to see if your library carries this series - from what I can tell so far, they are well worth a look.
Remembering
Six years ago today the lives of many changed forever.
There were 2,974 fatalities, not including the 19 hijackers: 246 on the four planes (no one on board any of the hijacked aircraft survived),2,603 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon.
Among the fatalities were 343 New York City Fire Department firefighters, 23 New York City Police Department officers, and 37 Port Authority Police Department officers.
We’re praying today for all those who died and all who lost loved ones, friends and coworkers.
And we’re praying peace in the world and peace in our hearts.
God bless us all.
