It was a simple and effective idea. A teacher would board with a family and spend a few months teaching the children in one area of town and then move on to another. Thus every child's education was addressed on a rotating basis. (pg. 49)

Charlotte's Web
by W. B. White
I don't think there is such a thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing?

It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, than nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, than nothing has nothing that is less than it is. (pg 28)

Speak
by Laurie Halse Anderson
"I crouch by the trunk, my fingers stroking the bark, seeking a Braille code, a clue, a message on how to come back to life after my long undersnow dormancy. I have survived. I am here. confused, screwed up, but here. So how can I find my way? Is there a chain saw of the soul, an ax I can take to my memories or fears? (pg. 188)
Speak has been challenged this past week. If you think that it shouldn't be a challenged or banned book show Laurie Halse Anderson your support. Go to her blog and see what you can do.

Husband and Wife

Granny Squaring!
My Granny Square blanket is complete! I have always loved Granny Squares but I could never figure out how to make them. Kate and I were talking one time and I discovered that she loves them too! We went on a mission to figure out how to make them. Kate learned first and taught me. Now I am a Granny Squaring Machine!

New Garden
I have been on vacation for the week. My mom came to visit for part of it. She brought me daylilies and we created this new garden. The hill is kind of hard to mow, so it makes it a perfect spot for a garden.
