A Super Layout

Sunday was the boys’ ninth consecutive day out of school. That’s four snow days, two weekends and a holiday if you’re counting. Much of this time they had been sick, and on this day too they were coughing too much to go to church. Sandy and I had much to do in our offices, so after lunch we went downstairs to work while the boys played peacefully upstairs. Sandy took the monitor to listen for trouble, but heard none. In fact, she said, they seemed to be playing together very cooperatively. When she went upstairs later to retrieve them for supper Sandy discover a super GeoTrax layout had been built covering almost the entire family room.  Seeing her, they enthusiastically explained their layout’s design depicted the completion of the transcontinental railroad just outside Promontory, UT (the western town on the white train tables) and began illustrating scenes from the latest Lone Ranger movie set in that location at that time. Very Impressive!
