Splitting Wood

Yes, I know a three pound sledgehammer can be dangerous.  My parents probably knew it when they taught me.

But competence and self-confidence are made as well as born.

These are some seriously adorable fall pictures. I love the second one! He's so triumphant! I'm sure this was a great personality builder for him as well.

G.P.'s Bedtime Reading List

  • J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    It was weird to be reading this and "Deathly Hallows" at the same time, and to see the same characters and the plot devices Rowling planted all those years ago....
  • J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    The movies pale in comparison, and the book holds up well to a re-reading, I'm finding.
  • J.R.R. Tolkein: The Hobbit
    He's ready. And he's enthralled.
  • Kathryn N. Lasky: The Capture (Guardians of Ga'Hoole) Book 1
    The story of Soren the barn owl. So far, it is a concentration camp story for children - perhaps it improves. Well, G.P. loved it, although it creeped me out. They do get away, and I'm sure in the next nine or thirty books the rest of the story will be told.........
  • Brian Jacques: Mossflower
    The prequel to "Redwall" - how the brave woodlanders defeat the evil fox Tsarmina and come to build Redwall Abbey.
  • Brian Jacques: Redwall
    The adventures of the brave mice of Redwall Abbey
  • Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson: Peter and the Shadow Thieves
    More adventures of Peter Pan
  • Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson: Peter and the Starcatchers
    Ever wonder how he actually became Peter Pan?
