Caddie Woodlawn

Book Review 

Caddie Woodlawn

Author: Carol Ryrie Brink

And what do you have in the bag, Carla?

Horehound Drops

Caddie purchases Horehound Drops for some boys. Jeremy and I surprised  our boys with some. So grab some Horehound Drops and Caddie Woodlawn, curl up someplace comfortable and enjoy!

Oh for a book and a shady nook, either in door or out.

John Wilson  

We loved reading Caddie Woodlawn. She is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew and plow than bake, and tries to beat her brother's dares every chance she gets. 

One of my favorite parts in the story is when Caddie gets into trouble. She gets into BIG trouble.

Her father comes into her bedroom to talk to her, this is what he has to say.

It is the sisters and wives and mothers, you know, Caddie who keep the world sweet and beautiful. What a rough world it would be if there were only men and boys in it, doing things in their rough way! A women's task is to teach them gentleness and courtesy and love and kindness. It's a big task, too, Caddie - harder than cutting trees or building mills or damning rivers. 

I want you to be a woman with a wise and understanding heart, healthy body, and honest mind.

Enjoy!  

Go Brewers

This baseball season has not been the best for the Milwaukee Brewers. Lots of injuries and pitching trouble.

But, we are still faithful! Still cheering at home and listening to the games on the radio.

I shared about opening day here

This post inspired my cousin to make me a gift.

 She shared the following, "Your blog on the Brewers inspired me. It took me awhile to come up with a pattern but I made earrings."

 

 Go Brewers!
