Constitution for Kids
I am a firm believer in knowing one’s rights in order to claim them and protect them, but sometimes, the convoluted 
language gets in the way. “Constitution for Kids” by Cathy Travis is a book that helps not only kids understand the Constitution, but also helps adults to understand just what is written.
In the book, Ms. Travis uses two columns, on one side is the complete text of the United States Constitution and on the other is her easy to understand translation.
This book reminds me that when we take the time to read our laws we realize they are decipherable. Just as we are our own best experts concerning the education of our families, we become our own best experts in maintaining our rights and remaining an educated citizen by taking the time to learn the laws of our country, our state and our towns.
American Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving is just a week away. I tend to stick to tried and true family recipes, but for those adventuresome souls, I want to share THANKSGIVING RECIPES FROM AMERICA’S PAST at Pilgrim Hall Museum again.
The Pilgrim Museum’s online resources are worth taking the time to explore as well.

Veterans Day
VA Kids is a site sponsored by the U.S. Veterans Administration. They offer information about veterans and the Department of Veterans Affairs, patriotism and more. I learned at Kaboodle that November 11th is also Remembrance Day in Canada.
Enchanted Learning offers some wonderful crafts and resources that are great for remembering or possibly for making gift to thank a Veteran.
I will be visiting those near and dear to me today who have served to thank them and remembering those others who have served that I can no longer thank or call.
