A Quiet Place
One place I like to visit is the library. I am lucky as there is one right on the way home. I usually stop in about once a week to find some new books to read. Sometimes I will stay for awhile and just enjoy the quiet. Our library has a very nice atmosphere. I like the smell of all the old books and the nice little area where you can sit and read.
Sometimes I will take the kids with me when I go. I feel it is important that they develop a taste for reading. Reading will help them throughout their life and provide them with an excellent hobby. I hope they will take to reading as I have and turn it into a lifelong pleasure.

One of the coolest sites I’ve found on the internet is the free Google Earth download. It uses satellite images and you can see almost anywhere on earth. I really enjoy being able to check out distant places with out leaving my house. You can go to Rome for instance and check out how it looks. I really like the street level feature where you can turn the camera around for a 360 degree view.
I found the system very useful as well. I checked out my own neighborhood to gain a perspective of where things are near my house. This gave me the ability to plan out my bike rides and to take advantage of shortcuts I’ve found! I think everyone should check out this awesome site!

One thing I really enjoy each week is receiving the Sunday paper. It’s always good to hear that satisfying plop when the paperboy throws it on the driveway. I like walking out and picking it up so I can bring it back inside. I like the smell of the ink and paper and just about everything about it. I usually go for the comic section first. I like to read the old standby comics like Charlie Brown and Dagwood.
There is always the big front page news that I like to look through when I am in a serious mood. Another good section is the flyers with all the coupons inside. I usually spend an hour or two cutting them out for great savings when I go to the store. All in all, I like the Sunday paper and would be sad if they ever stop making it!
