I got a Jazz for Kids CD at the library. It’s full of fun songs like “Yes we have no bananas” and “Rag Mop”.
He said, “I’d like this better if those people weren’t singing.”
Those people are artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong!
Silly boy.

Did you know that FDR knit?
I have a bucket of these old blocks for a photo prop, but this is a good idea too.

My Titus 2 friend came over to knit [...]

James has been slacking on his blog, but he did share about his week at camp.

I heard about Rachel Barkey on a friend’s Facebook page today and just spent the last hour listening to this woman’s testimony.

On March 4, 2009, Rachel had an opportunity to [...]
