I appreciate the article and understand why they are trying to quantify the value of libraries but their value and service to humanity is really priceless. Support your public library!

The Bill of Rights is for the people. The “people” or “persons” are mentioned throughout, not just citizens. I urge you to read the rights of the people in Amendment 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 and ask yourself if we are upholding our Constitution?

Just watched a video in which someone talked about Covid making people histamine intolerant but the subtitles rendered it as "history intolerant" and honestly that seems to fit better.

Started school more than two weeks ago and just getting these photos posted now. 😬 It’s been a whirlwind—new school, new state, new subject, new schedule, new students. Enjoying my students and grateful to be near family…and missing Kansas🌻 Wishing the very best school year to all!

Quick trip on a rather warm day to Etowah Mounds near Cartersville, GA. Super interesting Indigenous site along the Etowah River and offers nature trails.

Field trip to the Eisenhower farm where they retired and lived the rest of their lives at Gettysburg. It’s now a National Park Historic Site complete with Ike’s personal putting green.

So grateful that my cousin, who is a Gettysburg Battle guide, took me throughout the Battlefield and then up Little Round Top at sunset last night. I learned so much to add to Bayonets! to share with my students this year.

Just realized I have not been posting my books. I’m still reading…mostly audiobooks in my car, in my moving truck, whilst setting up my new classroom, on my workout, etc. Finished American Duchess about the fascinating life of Consuelo Vanderbilt & includes her mother Alva Belmont. #Bookish

Absolutely incredible graphic from 1880 tracing the history of political parties in the United States.

From Smithsonian description: "This ambitious chart presents U.S. political history on a single page. Moving from left to right, a timeline of parties, policies, persons, and events courses like a river through graphic space marked in four-year intervals. The analogy between politics and springs and rivulets (that jump and rejoin their banks) is the most conspicuous feature of the timeline. The parties appear in different colors. The ascendance of a party is gauged as its stream rises above the centerline, and above the streams of other parties. The thickness of a stream indicates the party’s strength.
The diagram is meant to dramatize U.S. political history in a more accessible shape for educators and to offer a ready reference for scholars, statisticians, and statesmen. The chart itself, titled “Diagram of the Rise and Fall of American Political Parties, from 1789 to 1880, inclusive,” is from the Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government, by Walter R. Houghton, 1880"

I am resolute. I am a new resident and voter in the swing state of Georgia. I’ve already been a regular caller to my new Congressmen and will continue. I pay close attention and I know the Constitution. I will be making good trouble any chance I get and I vote in every election. Every election.

Our Summer Learning Institute with Georgia Council for the Social Studies (GCSS) and A Plus Tours, LLC visited the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, GA. This museum’s exhibits are stunning and it’s free to tour! I only made it through about half of it so I will definitely be going back!

Georgia Council for the Social Studies (GCSS) Summer Learning Institute visited Plains High School from which Jimmy and Roslyn Carter graduated, now preserved as a National Park Service site. We heard from President Carter’s niece who shared some touching and lesser known stories.

I am so very grateful for the 20 years I had in KC/Kansas. So many friends who feel like family made it very difficult to leave for Georgia this week. I’m so humbled and thankful for each and every one of you. 🥹 Much love, your favorite #MidwestExpat
