New Additions.........
We were very pleased to have the Fed Ex man deliver some of our new science stuff. Everyone is quite taken with Tiny Tim the 16 inch skeletal model. Budgetary good fortune allowed us to up-grade to Tiny Tim from 11 inch Petite Pete. (altho if his name is Pete, shouldn’t it be petit?; oh , well, it’s not worth arguing the point with the scientific supply house.) Tim arrived the same day as our Undercover virtual frog dissection book, so we could have an interesting comparison of skeletons. (much to the relief of Mr. Real Frog who is happy in his glass dream house) Did you know frogs do not have ribs? Just some little cartilage type thingies (pardon my lapse into scientific jargon) along the upper spine.

We may keep Mr. Real Frog long enough to attend the Blessing of the Animals at Church in a few weeks and then transport him to the forest preserve where he may begin burrowing in for winter. Perhaps the rest of us will go out to lunch in his honor afterwards......
