Wandering through life one season at a time

a 2 year old’s view of heaven

By: amyswandering3 Comments

We have a beautiful painting hanging in our hallway of the prophet Elijah riding up to Heaven in his fiery chariot. It was a school project painted by a sweet 9 yr. old little girl in memory of our son Elijah. She blessed us with the painting and it has held a place of honor in our home ever since. I had this conversation with Little Miss Sassyfrass tonight.

Sassyfrass: “Look at Jesus riding his horse.”

Me: “That’s not Jesus, that’s Elijah from the Bible. You have a brother named Elijah. He is in Heaven and you will get to meet him there someday.”

Sassyfrass: eyes wide, grinning from ear to ear “We are going to dance, put on makeup and go swimming!”

So there you have it folks! No more wondering what we will do in Heaven.

the evolution of math

By: amyswandering1 Comment

The evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:

Teaching Math In 1950
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20 Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes?(There are no wrong answers.)

Teaching Math In 2005
Un hachero vende una carretada de madera para $100. El costo de la producción es $80 ……

it’s an eeyore day

By: amyswanderingcomment

It’s gloomy & cold & rainy. I just want to curl up by the fire with a book, but the dishes, laundry & kids beckon. (plus the wood happens to be out in the rain) If it’s gloomy in your neck of the woods, here are some posts that made me laugh out loud. Hope they brighten your day!

She Likes Where She Lives is a tongue in cheek tribute to living in Texas. (It gives a new twist on our motto “Don’t Mess with Texas”)

Pathetically Uncool by Antique Mommy – she always makes me laugh!
