Vintage Find

I recently found this book at a local thrift store. I've really been enjoying it, not only aesthetically, but informationally speaking. Nice job Ms. Dana Newmann! Although published in 1973, some things just don't go out of date. The dust cover is torn nearly to shreds, but as with most books I am also torn...i just can't trash it! Even though the hardbound cover is quite attractive.

From the book

This day in history:

Wolfgang Mozart was born 1756-1791

Lewis Carroll was born 1832-1898

Thomas Edison was granted the patent on incandescent light: 1880.

Riddle: What is the best & cheapest light? post your guess!

There are crafts, activities, etc. much fun! & she wrote another book that I will check the library for as well.

Other things for the week, Tu B'shevat is on Saturday (New Year of the Trees). Nothing major about it, but we had a good time at the library where we made Fruit Kabobs last night & read stories about trees. For me it's just a reminder that religion & nature shouldn't be disconnected. Anne Shirley said her optimal place of prayer would be in an open field under an open sky with her hands raised--not kneeled by a bedside. There's room for both, but I have to admit a preference for her way.
