Day 222 - Evansville Trip and Courthouse Display
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Today was Jeff's first day off in several weeks. Rachael and I got up early and headed to a used book sale in Evansville. It was hot, crowded, and miserable, but I did manage to get a few decent books. I'm really trying hard not to buy anything that I can get at the library. I have over 20 large boxes of books already in storage, several boxes at this house, and dozens of books currently on loan to other homeschoolers. Until we move to a bigger house, I just don't have the room! Of course, if I find a consumable or other "homeschool" type books not available at the library, that's another story... (!)
After the sale, Jeff & Nick met us at a Mexican restaurant for lunch, then we met my mom and headed to a movie. Following the movie, Jeff and Rachael went to the shooting range and Nick & I went to Barnes & Noble. Even though I was firing guns when I was younger than Nick, there's just something that makes me nervous about the thought of HIM holding a weapon. Maybe in 5 (or 20!) years... Of course, Rachael refused to even touch it, so who knows?!?
On our way home, we drove by the county courthouse and saw the display pictured above. I have no idea who put the candles out or why, but thought it was a pretty awesome display! Of course, I guess the ACLU will probably be investigating this "affront to political correctness..."
Perhaps it IS best that Nick not be shooting a gun. It's kinda hard to be a good "faller" when you're holding a loaded weapon! Loved the little bit about the ACLU! Don't you know we have them on speed dial?
You know, I never thought about the whole falling thing. Well, CP or no CP, that boy is light years away from holding a letter opener, much less a gun!
