Life is topsy-turvy when you have brothers who want to wrestle and ninja battle around you. But this wonderful elephant from @chestnutandhemlock keeps this little one calm. And it’s elephant, so very fit for life in this company town. Anyway she loves this thing, so thank you @srameystudyrel and co.!
Angling for a little relaxation. Didn’t catch anything except a good time with KidNewton and some great memories of the times my uncle took me fishing and, of course, some good Troop 1631 recollections. Fishing is definitely one of those things I’d love to do more.

Working on a project, and I keep coming back to the prologue of this classic. The cover of the book has fascinated me since I was a kid. _______________________________________________ #acrel #bookoftheday #blackliterature #literature #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #research #humanities #culture #history #anthropology #culturalstudies #religiousstudies
