Friday Funnies

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Try to stay cool if you are expecting high temps like we are.

Three on Thursday

As this week comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.

1) That I am feeling a bit better today that I have been the last couple of days.

2) Even though I try to avoid them at all costs that I was able to get a portable air conditioner for Clark's room that will be delivered today from Amazon before the weather gets very hot this weekend.

3) That I finally found the bag with our bathing suits so I can have the boys try theirs on before we go to my dad's house for swimming next weekend.

Eating: we will be having Sloppy Joes for dinner

Feeling: a bit cranky and tired of feeling sick all the time

Weather: right now it is warm and sunny but it was pouring rain a few hours ago

Needing: to get some answers from my doctor tomorrow

Thinking: that I really would like to take a nap right now

As another week comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.

1) The boys both have completed another successful school year.

2) That our library has a lot of great kids programs this summer. Tonight is Book and Movie Club where the librarian reads a book and we then watch a movie of the book. Saturday is the summer reading kickoff party and next Tuesday is Lego Club.

3) That I get to sleep in a little bit now that school is over.

True Life Tuesday: Harriette Cooke

Harriette Cooke was born on December 1, 1829 in Sandwich, New Hampshire. Her parents were Josiah and Jane (Cox) Cooke. She graduated from the New Hampshire Conference Seminary (now Tilton School) in 1853. After graduation she taught in Massachusetts for several years. 

In 1857 she became a teach at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa the same year the school opened. In 1860 she was named the dean of women and the college's preceptree. In 1871 she was named a full profoessor of German and history. By becoming a full professor she was the first woman in the United States to earn the same wage as her male colleagues. At the school she started the Lady's Batallion in 1889. The ladies would perform their drills in skirts and with wooden wands in lieu of rifles. She resigned from the college in 1890 and travelled to England. While in England she studied history at University College London. When she returned to the United States she became the superintendent of a settlement house in Boston. She died on July 27, 1914 at the age of 84.
