Ashley Meets Isaac...Newton

As you can see from the last post Ashley is now mobile. She does not like to be left alone, but if it is her idea then it's OK. While we were "celebrating" the holiday by cleaning upstairs Di was in the bedroom and I had taken something downstairs. Ashley decided to explore the hallway and found the stairs--and gravity, and thus she became acquainted with Sir Isaac Newton. Fortunately for Ashley there are only three steps to the landing, so nothing was seriously injured, except for maybe her pride.

Interesting factoids for the day. Did you know that Sir Isaac Newton was the Master of the Mint and established the gold standard in England from where is spread through the rest of the world? The United States was the last country to abandon the gold standard in 1971.

Spouting! Just kidding. At least you are posting, unlike us.
