George Washington's World | Genevieve Foster

Pickpick

I LOVE Genevieve Foster's “parallel history“ books. I remember reading these in middle school and realizing for the first time that even though America History and World History were two separate courses in school, the history itself all happened at the same time, and what was going on in France, China, Australia, etc impacted and influenced what was happening here and vice versa. It was fun to revisit this one. And her illustrations are adorable.

TheAromaofBooks @Hooked_on_books - My great-grandmother was an elementary school teacher in the 40s/50s/60s and this was one of her classroom books!! A first edition from 1941 and has “Property of Mrs. Wilson, Cedar Heights Elementary“ stamped inside!! It's kind of crazy to me to think of her going out and buying this brand new for her class! 18h
Hooked_on_books Oh my gosh, that is so special! It was clear that this book had a story and I love that you know what it is and that it‘s so personal. What a treasure! 17h

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

1. I sold 10 resin bookmarks to one lady who wanted to give them to her book club.
2. I went fishing, and of course, my husband caught most of the big fish. 23 in pickerel for one.
3. Lily of the valley is blooming
4. My pansies
5 My lilac tree finally had 2 blossoms.

Read4life The bookmarks are gorgeous!! 4d
julieclair Those bookmarks are beautiful! Do you sell on Etsy? I bought some very similar ones there and now I‘m wondering if they came from you! And, I adore Lilies of the Valley. 4d
dabbe Yay for #1! 💙💚💙 4d
LiseWorks @julieclair, no, I only sell them at local markets. I'm sure I'm not the only one that makes them. 4d
DebinHawaii A lovely list of joys! 💛💛💛 Lilacs, Lily of the valley & pansies are 3 of my favorite flowers. 💐 And your bookmarks are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing & spreading the joy! 🤗 4d

Good book. I wish to hear more about their trips though. Kinda reminded me of National Lampoons Vacation, a road trip where everything that can go wrong did go wrong, a calamity. Wanted to here more about the expeditions.

I‘m off today after working three 12-hour shifts in the psych emergency department. Wow! I haven‘t worked worked in forever. My brain is mush.

Plans: Catch up on #HashtagBrigade (@BreakingMadRead), therapy, finish the Suicide House, cuddle with babies, trash TV (not sure what's on the docket), and move just enough so that Lobster doesn't think I'm dead and eats my earlobes.
