Tom Brown's schooldays

#NotBookRelated but I just had to share our back to school pics. Beckham is starting his last year of high school (even though he will be taking all of his classes at Ohio State University) and Keegan is starting his first year of high school (even though he had classes there last year.) Keegan got hurt in his soccer scrimmage last night and is on crutches for his first day back. He is questionable for his first game on Saturday but we‘re hopeful

TheAromaofBooks Go Buckeyes! :-D You must be close to my neck of the woods... I'm southeast of Columbus. 5y

rretzler @TheAromaofBooks We‘re in Dublin! 5y

IamIamIam Happy school year to everyone!!! 5y

tammysue Great back to school pics! We go back tomorrow. 5y

night_shift We don't go back until next month 😱 great pics, have an awesome 1st day back! 5y

Leftcoastzen Nice photos ! When you raise boys there will be crutches, hope he heals quickly. 5y

rretzler @IamIamIam Thanks. When does your family start? 5y

rretzler @tammysue Hope you have a great year. 5y

rretzler @UnidragonFrag Thanks! Our school starts too early IMO and we‘re done before Memorial Day. 5y

rretzler @Leftcoastzen Thanks. I think it‘s just a bruised hip. The team has really great trainers and Keegan can be inclined to milk things a little, but I think he‘ll be back to normal soon. We‘ve been very fortunate so far! (Tempted to knock on wood at this point) (edited) 5y

IamIamIam @rretzler Not until September 4th 😫👎 Lol, we're packing as much as we can into the next 3 weeks!! 5y

rretzler @IamIamIam it slips by so fast. I think my brain is still back in June, I‘m so not ready for school to start. Hope you guys have a good year. 5y

IamIamIam @rretzler Thanks!! Hope Keegan has a good week despite the crutches and best wishes for a speedy recovery!! 5y

rretzler @IamIamIam Thanks! 5y

LibrarianJen Hope they have good weeks! I love working high school. 5y

rretzler @LibrarianJen Thanks! 5y

“I want to leave behind me the name of a fellow who never bullied a little boy, or turned his back on a big one.”💙”Don't be led away to think this part of the world important and that unimportant. Every corner of the world is important. No man knows whether this part or that is most so, but every man may do some honest work in his own corner.”💙 These quotes made me curious about this unknown to me old classic ..#ChildrensClassicRead2019 August

Took a #drive yesterday to visit this incredible public #library, which opened in Rugby, Tennessee in1882 as part of Thomas Hughes's dream of a utopian community. All but 6 of the original 7000 books & all furnishings remain. Volunteers dust & clean them every 4 or 5 years & will sit with anyone who wishes to do research (gloves are provided). A fascinating piece of #history amidst the wilderness. historicrugby.org

merelybookish Very cool! 7y

lynneamch The founder of the town is the same person who wrote the tagged book. He named the town Rugby in honor of his English boarding school of which he writes in this semi-autobiographical novel. I'm skimming it as it is free on Kindle. I see @brilliantglow has a beautiful hardcover copy. The town has a couple of charming gift shops with many old books, very reasonably priced. 7y

AmyG Amazing! 7y
