Grace in Small Things #27

Much thankfulness for the following:
  • Top Gear marathon on BBC Canada! Only one episode I hadn't watched before had me in tears (strange, I know). It featured a group of injured soldiers who were training for the Dakar rally. Not only that but the show arranged for former Stig, Ben Collins, to train the team.*
  • My mom won Lagostina pots though Touchdown to Win and gave them to me! This was the first weekend where I really got the chance to use them.
  • I'm so thankful that I can live with my parents while I become better known as a substitute teacher in the school division.
  • Not only is the current book I'm reading extremely interesting, I'm getting a lot of great ideas of how I could use it in my teaching.
  • Egg, tomato and Havarti sandwich for supper.

*Sister, it is a must view for when you're here at Christmas time.

  1. Bill Bryson is great. I read his Short History of Private Life and it was superb. There were some things he really oversimplified and even got quasi-wrong at times, but he was delightful the whole time nonetheless.

  2. Bill Bryson book I'm reading is hailed as being well researched and accessible. It was recommended to me by a prof as a book that could be used in a science classroom.
