Dear Friends,
I was always impressed by how efficient my youngest was at disappearing with a book. She would quietly read for literally hours on end. The other day in one of her classes the professor asked who knew what the Praetorian Guard was. He was met with silence, but noticed a thoughtful look on her face. When he said it looked like she knew, she said she must not be right, as she couldn’t see the relevance to the topic at hand. Once he told her she was right, he asked how she knew. Being a quick thinking student, she mentioned her undergrad minor in classical civilizations, rather than her childhood (and adulthood!) love of Percy Jackson books! I can only imagine some of the other “reference material” she has cited over the years!
I hope, like her, you are able to make time for a favorite book this week.
See you soon,
Mary Beth
