"Origins" Lapbook by Ace (Age 8)
from Binder Builder by A Journey Through Learning to accompany Truth Quest History Beginnings Course
Saw this sign at a doctor’s office today. Apart from the dubious value of the legally necessary Braille markings, and aside from the questionable wisdom of descending into the flames lurking at the bottom of said stairwell, what struck me most was the clear depiction of levitational abilities.
Of course, this brings to mind other questions best left unasked.
I didn't have a Sharpie on me, so I defaced the sign digitally. ツ Enjoy.

today's song: "America" by Simon & Garfunkel
the song didn't mean anything to me so I thought it might be fun to see where I've been in my life, and with my husband. It was a fun trip down memory lane!! And we still have at least 21 states to visit.

AUSTIN RAILWAY CAR
The picture at left is a 1925 model Austin, originally an automobile made for running on road. It was later sold to scrap dealer. A railway employee brought this car from scrap dealer and restored it. However, he made few major change to the car. He fitted rail wheels to the car and removed the steering.

WIKIPEDIA
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...
