This morning started out with a ride in the subway ending on 2nd street where I got out and walked to South Street. It was a hike with a twist. Along the way I got to see Society Hill which is beautiful and very historic and then all the interesting shops along South Street including […]

This morning Emily dropped me off at the Franklin Institute which I explored while she went to church. It’s this fantastic museum for kids and pretty fun for adults as well. I got to walk through the heart, sit in a fighter plane, played with magnets, and lights, and rode a bike through the air.

Of course, not everything precious to me has a photo but these definitely cover some of the

This afternoon, I am working on putting submissions for the Quaker Youth Book Project into order within the chapters and as I work, I’ve started thinking about what our editorial board is doing. For me, it seems that lately I’ve been concentrating so much on all the little things that need doing for the book

I have spent most of my day either straightening the house where I was house sitting or working on the Quaker Youth Book Project. Most of the time went to the book. It’s just one of those weeks when I get very focussed on the projects at hand and put other things off until the
