We just came back from a long weekend visiting our son! On our way home stayed in an adorable bed-and-breakfast in Virginia.
Mod
Husband had to work. Son and I are both sick so it was a very blah, quiet day.

Leah wrote: "February 22, Wednesday: Do you find it difficult to ask for help?"I tend not to ask for help unless there is no other option. Don't like to bother people.
Leah wrote: "February 21, Tuesday: What was your favorite cartoon to watch as a kid?"I didnt really watch a lot of cartoons, but if I had to pick one I would say The Jetsons.

Probably working with kids ... especially introducing them to the joys of reading.

US Education system I believe a change is needed because not a lot that has been done the same way 60 years still works as effectively. But I think we need to not just blame teachers because parents on a big scale aren't quite as involved as they used to be either.

I loved jigsaw puzzles ... my brother and I had a pair of puzzles that depicted scenes from colonial America. While the pictures were different, they were cut exactly the same, so we would have "races" to see who could finish the 200-pc puzzle the fastest.
Then we mixed all the pieces together and still tried to race to complete our individual puzzle. We did those puzzles so often we knew each piece by heart!

That sounds like it was fun (and challenging!)
I still LOVE jigsaw puzzles! I just got the Ravensburger "World Map 1665" for Christmas! I haven't been able to work on it yet though.

I did NOT buy the box of paczkis (pronounced Poonch-keys) at the grocery store, but this city has a significant Polish population and just about EVERYONE gets these wonderful jelly-filled donuts on Fat Tuesday.
We took my husband's 90-year-old cousin out to dinner. Definitely an indulgent meal.
Leah wrote: "February 17, Friday: What makes you proud?"When I witness my adult sons being generous and kind. That experience just never gets old.
Leah wrote: "February 16, Thursday: Where's your favorite place to read?"At our cottage overlooking Lake Huron. Either reading on the porch in the summer, or next to the fire place in the winter.
Usually my bedroom because no one bothers me in there. I also have a rocking chair right by my bookshelves that I sit in.
