Gravestone Rubbing

Making good use of our nice weather (before more rain comes) we went out to a local cemetery today and found some beautiful gravestone etchings and engravings to "rub".  The kids had a lot of fun and we even met up with our other homeschooling friends!



Said our pledge at the 1st flag we came across.


Zachary picked a beautiful cross.



Molly found a "M" to rub.

We did that a couple of years back, as a matter of fact we actually located the parents of the mans grave we adopted , had a nice chat with them.. since then they started taking care of there son Mr Watson. so off to another one we will go...

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
