Book of the Week – Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand – It’s like we’re trying to turn off the engine of our country by shutting everything down, which is exactly the plot of this book. I absolutely love this epic filled with romance, intrigue, and a railroad heiress trying to save the country.
Let’s go quilt,

Leah, thanks so much for this podcast. I so agree with you, on many levels. I see this behavior in my grandchildren’s children. As much as I have tried to get them to stop this, I haven’t made any headway. I am so against giving them phones and Ipads and computers. Thank for this level headed attitude and approach.
I’m sorry to hear that Betty. Make your opinion known and set a no electronics when your greats come to visit. It’s a big deal, but unfortunately very few adults are taking it seriously.
