Dangerous Book for Boys - Bookmarked Content


I don't remember - was he 8? 9? or so when Joshua received this book for his birthday. 

Last month, I gather it from his room and looked through the series of bookmarks he had of his favorite spots.

Let's see what we have:

  • Essential Gear: "kit for stuff to gather"
  • Building a Treehouse: "treehouse"
  • Dinosaurs: "dinosaurs"
  • Making a Bow and Arrow: "bow"
  • Table Football: (blank bookmark)
  • Timers and Tripwires: "tripwires"
  • Famous Battles - Part One: "famous battles"
  • Spies: Codes and Ciphers: "spies"
  • U.S. Naval Flag Codes: "U.S. flag codes"
  • Astronomy - The Study of the Heavens: "astronomy"
  • Making a Paper Hat, Boat and Water Bomb: "water bomb" (and oh did he make a few!)
  • Famous Battles - Part Two: "famous battles: 2"
  • Making Cloth Waterproof: "making cloth waterproof"
  • Pocket Light: "pocket light"
  • Secret Inks: "inks"
  • Seven Poems Every Boy Should Know: "7 poems"
  • Coin Tricks: "coin trick" 
  • Latin Phrases Every Boy Should Know: "latin"
  • How to Play Poker: "poker rules"
  • Common Trees: "trees"
  • Hunting and Cooking a Rabbit: "rabbit"
  • Tanning a Skin: "tanning"

All but the rabbit cooking were definitely part of his everyday life!

Last Grocery Trip


He is all shocked at the price of the cherry concentrate (that makes a home remedy and lasts forever) but gets the wrong sausage. I wanted to do sausage gravy - he wanted links. He was doing the shopping so guess which one I just recently enjoyed with with some rice and veggies? ;) 



He does know how to select good meat!

Dear Father (Nick)

Dear Father, 

These are the questions I have about the Faith as I prepare for Confirmation I received 5 1/2 years ago. 

Sincerely, 
Your favorite Godson
