The quote of the day...

"Have you noticed all the homeless people in the world lately? That's why they have the dollar menu at McDonalds now."

I should put this into context. This was said by Addy to Madden in a very-know-it-all voice and with great conviction.

a project for school

For my bachelors degree from Prescott College I had to take a class called a Liberal Arts Seminar class. This class was taught by this wonderful professor at Prescott.

For the class we were required to read the book, A well educated mind by Susan Wise Bauer. I highly recommend this book. It was really wonderful to read about how to read!

We were then asked to answere a question a week in our journals. The final requirement was a project to complete. I chose to interviews my daughters who are 11. Here are there answers.


And here is Adeline;

The questions I asked them are shortended from the ones I answered, but I really liked hearing what my 11 year olds have to say about who they are and were they want to go in life. It is very inspiring.

I will try and post the questions later this week if I think of it.

Amy and I went for a 30 mi rode bike ride today to Teton Village. It is a very flat ride, but we made it harder by dragging the BOB behind with her kids in it. That would have been a great picture if I would have thought of it.

Have a great night!

One goal down!!!

So the goal of riding up the pass is GOLD!!! Amy B. and I rode up the pass today with Lee suporting us in the car. Holy Moly I am so tired!

We rode up Teton Pass to the sumit. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't. Not this time. I can't even really say if it was fun or not yet. I will let you know tomorrow! when I have forgotten.
