One of the authors of Cheaper by the Dozen, Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, died today, according to CNN. The article said she has outlived 9 of her siblings. I just loved Cheaper by the Dozen ; I still laugh out loud when I read it. I enjoyed the first Steve Martin version, but it was totally different from the book, of course. I recommend the book as an oral reading choice for middle schoolers. I think they would really enjoy the family story with all of the stuff about "motion saving" (the real Frank Gilbreth was an efficiency expert), and the book is a minor classic and funny.
Yay! I got Blog Builder working again. If anyone is trying to use Tripod's Blog Builder and can't get links to work, try using Firefox as a browser instead of Explorer. I was unable to get Blog Builder to insert links in Explorer.
