Ancient Cultures

Hannah's latest field trip was to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia. Lance went with her on this one and they had a great time. He was thankful to be on a charter bus and not one of these.

Art

Rachel's quilling project was chosen to be on display at the Carroll Arts Center for youth art month. We attended the reception for the participants last week. Here she is with her artwork.

Smokey

I got into Lance's car this morning to take Rachel to school and immediately noticed that it smelled all smokey, like cigarettes. We don't smoke, so this was strange.

I am the kind of person who has to know the story behind everything, and if there is no obvious explanation available, I will come up with what I think probably happened. So, my mind began working as I drove to school. The best reason for the smell that I could come up with was that maybe Lance had picked up a smoking hitchhiker or someone who needed help on his way home from work the night before. (If you know Lance, you know that this is a possibility).

After leaving for work this morning, Lance came back into the house to say his car was all smokey. I told him my theory. I was wrong. His car was left unlocked and parked on the street in front of our house last night. I wonder who used it to get their nicotine fix?
