Traveling by car when the kids were small, we usually read full novels like the entire Little House series or the CS Lewis' Narnia books. The boys would listen raptly and then we'd discuss the books. We learned so much about them and what they thought. Though it's not often that we're together, when we can dine together, the conversations are so rich!
Today was a joy! The three of us walked six miles through the village, past our old house on Center St, through town, and then explored the cemetery where the Osbornes, Cobbs, Elwells, Rosselots and Purcells lie. Then we strode by Rachel's to inspect the progress of the work there. Next, on to the college to see all the new construction. Workers all over campus were busy tidying the grounds in preparation for the arrival of Bill Nye, the science guy.
I'm glad we had that time together, because then Steve was called to Busti to the scene of a tragic fatal fire at the home of an Amish family. When he got home, we went to Whiskey Hill for wings with my brother Steve and his friends.
It was a full and lovely day!
A family hike!
