Jesse Holman Jones (April 5, 1874 – June 1, 1956) was a Democratic politician and entrepreneur from Houston, Texas. He served as United States Secretary of Commerce from 1940 to 1945.
Jones managed a tobacco factory at age 14, and at 19 he was put in charge of his uncle's lumberyards. Five years later, after his uncle, M. T. Jones, died, Jones moved to Houston to manage his uncle's estate and opened a lumberyard company, which grew quickly. During this period, Jesse opened his own business, the South Texas Lumber Company. He also began to expand into real estate, commercial building and banking.[1] His commercial building activities in Houston included mid-rise and skyscraper office buildings, hotels and apartments, and movie theaters. He constructed the Foster Building, home to the Houston Chronicle, in exchange for a fifty percent share in the newspaper, which he acquired control of in 1926.
His most important role was to head the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), (1932–1945), a federal agency originally created in the Herbert Hoover administration that played a major role in combating the Great Depression and financing industrial expansion during World War II.[2][3] Jones was in charge of spending US$50 billion, especially in financing railways and building munitions factories.[4] He served as the United States Secretary of Commerce from 1940–1945, a post he held concurrently with his chairmanship of the RFC. He was passed over for the vice presidential nomination in 1944 because Roosevelt thought he was too conservative for that role.

Family history and early life[edit]
Jesse H. Jones descended from Welsh ancestors who made Virginia their first landing place in North America, sometime in the 1650s. After settling their briefly, they relocated to the Chowan River in North Carolina, remaining there for at least a century. In 1774, Eli Jones and one of his brothers, headed west, eventually deciding to an area now known as Robertson County, Tennessee. William, one of Eli's sons, established himself as a farmer there, and married a neighboring farmer's daughter, Laura Anna Holman. The farm was sufficient to provide for all of the needs of the family and grow tobacco for sale, partly from their own efforts, and partly from the work of enslaved persons. Jesse Holman Jones was born to William and Laura Jones on April 5, 1874, the fourth of five children.[5] Jesse's mother died on April 22, 1880, just after he had turned six. Nancy Jones Hurt, his aunt, moved in with the family along with her two sons. She was a "guide, physician, and clothes-maker of all the Jones children," and "a famous cook…." [6] Sudley Place was his "boyhood home".[7]
In 1883, the Jones family, including Aunt Nancy and seven children moved to Dallas, Texas, partly in order for William to join his brother Martin Tilton "M.T." Jones in his successful lumber enterprise. Several years earlier M.T. had resettled his family in Terrell, Texas after a stop in Illinois. Aunt Nancy remained in Dallas and enrolled the children in local public schools, while William moved to Terrell to manage the M.T. Jones Lumber Company and look after the firm's other lumberyards in northeast Texas. This allowed M.T. to move closer to his timberlands and other interests in southeast Texas. However, William only stayed for two years and returned with his large family to Robertson County, where he acquired a new farm to work. So Jesse was back in Tennessee at the age of twelve.[8]
Jesse had been a diligent worker as a boy, caring for the farm animals, and performing many common household chores. During the summers when his family had lived in Dallas—when he was a young teenager—he hacked out weeds, picked cotton, and herded cattle. He did not display the same diligence for school, and later, Jesse recalled many scoldings and punishments from his teachers.[9] His father challenged his two sons with a tobacco plot for each of them. He allowed each son to choose about close to three acres and provided them both with supplies. Each of them would be allowed to keep any profits after they repaid their store accounts. After the eighth grade, he quit school and applied some of his experience working with tobacco. William Jones not only grew tobacco, but also traded the crop, and he also joined a partnership, Jones, Holman and Armstrong, which processed tobacco. Then, out of school at the age of fourteen, Jesse was in the job market, and William put him in charge of one of the tobacco factories. Jesse was responsible for receiving (or sometimes rejecting), classifying, warehousing, and shipping tobacco. In addition, his name was on the company bank account, and he signed checks for the company's operations.[10]
At the age of seventeen, Jesse's family returned to Dallas. After several attempts to find a suitable job in Dallas and the surrounding region, Jesse started working in Hillsboro, Texas, at one of his uncle's lumberyards. He performed manual labor, but also served the office side of the business, such as bookkeeping and debt collection. Despite these varied duties, he earned the standard salary for a salesman: $40 per month. He requested a fifty percent raise, arguing that he worked day and night. His uncle refused. Jesse did not stay employed there much longer, and quit not long before the death of his father, William Jones. The will instructed that trustees manage the tobacco enterprise, while Jesse would assume control at age twenty-one. He also inherited about $2,000 in stock.[11]
Business activities[edit]
Timber and lumber[edit]
Jesse and his brother had liquidated the tobacco inventory from their father's estate, and spent the proceeds on their sisters' homes. Jesse returned to Dallas and applied for a position with the M.T. Jones Lumber Company's yard on Main Street and St. Paul. However, he had experienced problems with the manager of the yard at Hillsboro, and that manager then worked at the big yard in downtown Dallas. His uncle M.T. refused to hire him, leading Jesse to wonder what the manager might have said about him. However, C.T. Harris, the general manager of the company decided to investigate the matter. Harris was familiar with Jesse's work, and had even on occasion, entrusted him to keep the books. Harris audited the books of the Hillsboro yard and concluded that the Hillsboro manager had committed fraud. He fired the manager and hired Jesse as bookkeeper for the big Dallas yard. Initially, Jesse earned a salary of $15 per week—more than he made at the Hillsboro yard. After just six months, Harris made Jesse the manager there, raising his salary to $100 per month. Harris made these decisions without consulting M.T., the owner of the company.[12] Jesse ran the Dallas yard profitably, even in the face of eight competitors in the local market. In 1895, with M.T. still critical of the Dallas operations, Jesse tendered his resignation. However, M.T. audited the books of the Dallas yard and found them to be in good order. M.T. asked Jesse to retract his resignation. Jesse replied that he would take his old job back for $150 per week and six percent of the profits. After sleeping on it, M.T. agreed to Jesse's terms.[13]
While Jesse was still managing a lumber yard in Dallas for M.T. Jones, he decided on a financial gambit while competing for the lumber trade related to the 1897 Texas State Fair. The association running the State Fair needed construction supplies for buildings and exhibits, but the lumber companies wanted personal guarantees from the directors. Jesse, sensing an opportunity, decided to stand out from his competitors: he extended credit to the State Fair Association, with only the backing of gate receipts. When M.T. found out about the terms of the loans and the full extent of Jesse's gamble, he began to investigate Jesse's activities and interrogated him about his decision. These loans were repaid quickly and the Dallas lumber yard profited from the play.[14]
Jones arrived in Houston in 1898, renting a room at the old Rice Hotel for $2.25 per night. M.T. Jones had died, and Jesse was one of the five executors of his estate. He was survived by his wife Louisa and three children. Jesse managed a large estate:[15]
He was now in charge of tens of thousands of acres of timberland spread over three east Texas counties and parts of Louisiana. The estate owned and operated sawmills and factories in Orange that had the daily capacity to turn hundreds of thousands of feet of raw timber into shingles, doors, windows sashes, and two-by-fours. The logistics was equally huge: felled trees had to moved to plants, and finished products had to be delivered to lumberyards located throughout the state and beyond. With assistance and advice from trustees, Jones bought, sold, and managed the land, expanding the M.T. Jones Lumber Company even further.
In 1902, Jones started the South Texas Lumber Company. He had money he had earned from selling investments in timber and some Spindletop deals for capital. He acquired the Reynolds Lumber Company, as well as many other lumberyards in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The company charter announced an intention to purchase raw goods (lumber), semi-finished goods (cross ties), and milled goods, such as blinds, doors, and sash.[16] According to his own recollection, he made about $1 million in profits when he sold controlling interest in the company, liquidating most of his interests in one saw mill and perhaps 20 or more lumberyards. Other than retaining a single lumberyard, he permanently left active management of the timber and lumber business in 1911 or 1912.[17]
Construction and real estate[edit]
Jones commenced a flurry of building activity in 1908. He contracted to build an addition to the Bristol Hotel, committing $90,000 to the project, which would include a rooftop garden and dance floor. He also commissioned a ten-story building for the Texas Company (Texaco), and the company moved its headquarters to Houston.[18] The same year, he constructed a new plant for the rapidly growing Houston Chronicle in exchange for a half-interest in the company, which had been solely owned by Marcellus Foster.[19] The relationship between Jones and the Chronicle lasted the rest of his life. In 1926, Jones became the sole owner of the paper and named himself as publisher. In 1937, he transferred ownership of the paper to the newly established Houston Endowment Inc.[citation needed]
Jones started developing hotel properties in 1906 when he acquired the Bristol Hotel for $90,000. He literally doubled-down on his initial investment two years later when he made an addition to the Bristol, capping it with a rooftop garden deck for entertainment.[20] In 1911, Jones purchased the original five-story Rice Hotel from Rice University although the university retained the land on which it stood. He razed the original structures and constructed the present building, which he then leased from Rice.[21] The 17-story Rice Hotel opened on May 17, 1913 and was closed in 1977. From 1998 to 2014, this building was known as the Post Rice Lofts.[citation needed]
In the mid-1920s, Jones increased his construction and development activity. Two new buildings, the Kirby Theater and the Kirby Lumber Company Building went up on Main Street, while he built additions to the Rice Hotel and the Houston Electric Building. During the same period he started projects in Manhattan. The first was an apartment building on Fifth Avenue at 97th Street, followed by the Mayfair House (New York City) on Park Avenue at 67th Street. A third building at 200 Madison Avenue faced J.P. Morgan's home, with four floors leased to the first Marshall Field's store in New York City. Jones left also his mark on Fort Worth, building the Medical Arts Building (Fort Worth), and the Worth Hotel and Worth Theater.[22]
As a young man, Jones found opportunities to borrow money in order to establish credit. He borrowed in excess of his need, and kept the extra cash in a savings account.[23] In this manner, he gained larger lines of credit with banks in Dallas, Houston, and New York City.[citation needed]
However, at least two Houston bankers expressed concerns about his borrowing practices. By his own estimate, he had borrowed as much as $3 million. The test came with the Panic of 1907. One of the largest and oldest of Houston's banks, the T.W House Bank, failed amidst this economic recession. The bank had a $500,000 loan on its books in the name of Jesse Jones. Yet even during the bank panic, Jones was able to sell enough mortgage paper and draw on lines of credit to repay the loan. So he stood ready to make new investments after the worst of the recession ended.[24]
Sometime after 1908, Jones organized the Texas Trust Company. By 1912, he had become president of Houston's National Bank of Commerce. This bank later merged with Texas National Bank in 1964 to become the Texas National Bank of Commerce, renamed to Texas Commerce Bank which grew into a major regional financial institution. It became part of JP Morgan Chase & Co. in 2008.[1]
Political activities[edit]
Port of Houston[edit]
Jones soon made his mark as a builder across Houston, and helped to secure federal funding for the Houston Ship Channel, which opened in 1914 and made the city a viable port.[citation needed]
American Red Cross[edit]
President Woodrow Wilson asked Jones to become director general of military relief for the American Red Cross during World War I, a position he held until 1919.[1]
Reconstruction Finance Corporation chairman[edit]
When the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was established in 1932, President Hoover appointed Jones to the RFC's board, even though Hoover was a Republican and Jones a Democrat. In 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made him the Chairman of the RFC, while also expanding the RFC's powers to make loans and bail out banks. This led some to refer to Jones as "the fourth branch of government."[25] Roosevelt reportedly called Jones "Jesus H. Jones."[26][27]
Jones retired from the RFC on July 17, 1939, to become Federal Loan Administrator (head of the Federal Loan Agency, which supervised the RFC and some other bodies).[citation needed]
Secretary of Commerce[edit]
President Woodrow Wilson offered Jones the position of United States Secretary of Commerce, but Jones decided instead to remain in Houston and focus on his businesses.[25] He accepted the same position from President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940, and he served until 1945.[1]
Exit from Washington[edit]
Henry Wallace was dropped from the ticket as Vice President in 1944. Jones was on the short list to replace him. However Roosevelt wanted social progress to continue and Jones's reputation was far too conservative for that role.[28] Roosevelt was reelected and asked Jones to resign as Secretary of Commerce, which he did on January 21, 1945. The next day he resigned from RFC and all other government positions.[29] Jones released the two letters to the press, and several newspapers—including The New York Times–criticized Roosevelt's decision to name Wallace as Secretary of Commerce. Senator Josiah Bailey of North Carolina called both Jones and Wallace to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee, each on consecutive days. Jones testified on the first day that he did not believe that Wallace was a suitable candidate. He characterized Wallace as a visionary who lacked business experience. Sometime during the five hours of testimony the next day, Wallace touted his own business experience, but sought to restrict the scope of power from the Commerce Department and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which he claimed were exploited by business interests.[30]
Jones himself along, with a majority of Congressmen and Senators, publicly denounced this decision and refused several senior diplomatic roles under the Roosevelt administration in protest.[31] Wallace's contested confirmation was one of the most controversial actions of the 79th Congress due to leaked correspondences between Jones and President Roosevelt concerning the political debt that the president owed Wallace.[32]
Suite 8F Group[edit]
Jones was also an active participant in the so-called "Suite 8F Group." This was composed of very wealthy, politically active businessmen who met in Suite 8F of the Lamar Hotel in downtown Houston. The group raised money to elect influential politicians who supported their conservative business and political views. Beneficiaries included, but were not limited to, Congressman, Senator and President Lyndon B. Johnson, Congressman Albert Thomas, and Governor and Secretary of the Navy John B. Connally, Jr.[citation needed]
Houston Endowment Inc.[edit]
In 1937, Jesse Jones and his wife, Mary Gibbs Jones, established Houston Endowment Inc., which eventually became the largest private foundation in Texas. It was the principal beneficiary of the Jones's estates, ultimately owning a large number of businesses and buildings, mostly in Houston. Jones was named president of the foundation, and remained so until his death in 1956. He was succeeded as president by his nephew, John T. Jones. The Endowment retained ownership of the Chronicle until 1987.[citation needed]
In 1925, Jones received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from Southwestern University,[33] and another from Oglethorpe University in 1941.[34]
Later years and death[edit]
He retained the title of publisher of the Houston Chronicle until his death on June 1, 1956, at the age of 82. His remains were interred in Houston's Forest Park Cemetery.[1]
Thanks in large part to the largesse of the Houston Endowment, the name of Jesse H. Jones is memorialized throughout Houston. The home of the Houston Symphony is Jesse H. Jones Hall in the Houston Theater District.[35] Jones High School[36] and Texas Southern University Jesse H. Jones School of Business are historically black institutions. The Jones family had a strong influence on Rice University as well, with the eponymous Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management founded in large part by a gift from Houston Endowment Inc., and Jones College named for Mary Gibbs Jones. The Jesse H. Jones Student Life Center, a recreation facility at the University of Houston–Downtown was also named for Jones.
In the Texas Medical Center (Houston), there are the Jesse H. Jones Rotary House Hotel, a hotel for MD Anderson Cancer patients and family members,[37] the Jones library building for the Houston Academy of Medicine/Texas Medical Center;[38] and the Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones Pavilion (1977) connecting Memorial Hermann Hospital to the University of Texas Medical School.[39] The original site of Texas Woman's University Houston campus, across the street from the HAM/TMC library, included Mary Gibbs Jones hall; TWU moved to a new location in 2006 and the original site became part of Houston Methodist Hospital.
Other Jones buildings include the Houston Public Library's Central Library building[40] and the headquarters for the Houston chapter of the American Red Cross.[41]
The University of Texas at Austin's College of Communication is named after Jones, where there is also the Jesse H. Jones Chair in the Liberal Arts, held by the renowned philosopher T. K. Seung. Baylor University's central libraries comprise the Jesse H. Jones Library (1992) and the Moody Memorial Library (1968).[42]
The Jesse H. Jones Physical Education Complex on the campus of Texas Lutheran University in Seguin bears his name.
In 1956, the Jesse Holman Jones Hospital was built in Springfield, Tennessee, to replace the original hospital there. This hospital operated until 1995, when a new facility, NorthCrest Medical Center, was constructed.
Beyond buildings, one may visit the Jesse H. Jones Park and Nature Center in Humble.[43] or drive across the Houston Ship Channel (for which Jones was the driving force) on what was once (1982–1994) the Jesse H. Jones Memorial Bridge.[44]
Newspaperman Bascom N. Timmons penned a biography of Jones in 1956 entitled Jesse H. Jones: The Man and the Statesman.[45]

they showed cerial, milk, fruit & juice. If I ate that my sugar would be 250 at least. who are these people. for me to have a breakfast & have good numbers afterwards, I need 2 eggs, light sausage, 1 piece of toast, coffee.
where do they get these people???

I've "had/not been" type 1 diabetes for going on 21 years now. I have adjusted meals not only breakfast and dinner, but work day and "so called" days off. As you know we tend to lessen carbs in p.m. to help prevent spikes in a.m. I increase carbs on workday morns to help prevent bottoming out. I worked industrial scaffolding in diff. types of plants. For those of you who know, it is a very demanding job. One that my docs have tried last 15 years to get me to change. Even with my lantus dose now @ 38 units vs. 70 when I first started on it, I have to eat a similar breakfast as mentioned above. We all live diff lifestyles as someone has commented. Not speaking negatively in any manner, my only point being this: listen to you body above all!! I have found it will be a truer guide to you than any chart, drug rep. or anyone for that matter! Believe me I/we all know it's a rough push through diabetes. But don't stop pushing and listening to your body. It knows best
I think perhaps they are the people who are able to take enough insulin to cover whatever cabs they eat. Some Type 2s do this. There are many Type 1s who do this since they are not insulin resistant, but just produce no insulin.
Just proof that one size does not fit all.
Your toast would spike me, but I most likely can eat foods that don't work for you. Thankfully our finger pokes can help us learn what to eat and who to ignore.
That's why we need to learn what works best for US! I find that many of the ADA recipes are way too high in carbs for me. The ADA has been very slow to accept that a reduced carbohydrate diet is the path to better BG control. IMHO, many of the "so-called" diabetes experts also have blinders on where carbohydrate consumption is concerned. I've learned that I can maintain my BG is acceptable ranges with a daily carb consumption of 120 grams and will ignore anyone who advises me differently.
mine would be the same after the milk fruit and juice. I stopped by McDonald's one day and I got the new oatmeal with fruit..whew it sure went up. My dietician told me to have one of the other but not together It probably had real sugar in it. Isn't it so confusing…think you are on the right track.maybe add a piece of fruit. I stay away from wheat and have gone whole grain.Can't use creamer in my coffee so I am adding some french vanilla glucerna.Trying day by day!
That's all you can do is try day by day. It took me a long time to figure what is best for me to not eat. Or in some cases tis better for me to cook it myself. Most of the vegetable we eat are organically grown by my wife and we both do a little baking. I like my Cheerios, Kahshi plain. That means without milk. My grits, cream of wheat with cheese and oatmeal with cinnamon and a touch of honey and I look for a spike that does not happen.
That is crazy…plus besides the spiking of BS how long does cereal stay with you? I would be starving in no time.
Sounds like the ADA. Yeah, I would not touch that with a 10 foot pole either. I try to make my breakfast very protein filled because I am always high in the mornings.
I am always high in the mornings as well so i also keep my breakfast high in protein, low in carb. I do best with carbs midday so I am learning to go lower carb later in the day. Not the advice the dietitians gave but that's what's working for me.
Howdy Diane
In a lot of articles like that all I can do is SMH (smack my head) when I see something like that.
It seems if the gluco-normals are running the show that will be the case as they have NO IDEA of what a healthy meal for us is like. What really puts me off the deep end is if in the text of the article they say something really foolish from a diabetes perspective. If they have a comment board I will often say something calling attention to the error.
God's best to you
I hear you! I saw something like that recently in a diabetic magazine!
I don't bother with diabetic magazines anymore. They're all about selling the latest drugs and supplies so why not recommend a poor diet that makes diabetics more dependent on those? I choose to learn what works for other diabetics and through trial and error, learn what works and doesn't work for me.

Jenny EriksonA few months ago, conservatives were outraged at the firing of liberal Juan Williams by National Public Radio for saying that flying with Islamic-looking males made him nervous on Fox News' The O'Reily Factor. According to NPR's head honcho Vivian Schiller, Mr. Williams had "several times in the past violated [their] news code of ethics with things that he had said on other people's air."
Apparently expressing an opinion based on the fact that virtually every airplane-hijacking terrorist in the United States over the past few decades has been a Jihadist is punishable by unemployment from NPR. Juan Williams did not state that he thought all Muslims were terrorists, or even that he refused to fly with them. He simply stated that it made him nervous.
Shortly thereafter, many prominent conservative pundits called for NPR to be defunded of the federal money that it receives. Private businesses can run things how they see fit, but organizations receiving taxpayer money should not be able to terminate someone's employment for expressing a valid opinion, especially when it wasn't even done on NPR's airwaves.
In November, the then-Democratic House of Representatives defeated a bill to cut the federal funding of NPR. The supposedly unbiased organization released this statement after the vote:
In an increasingly fractious media environment, public radio's value in fostering an informed society has never been more critical. Our growing audience shows that we are meeting that need. It is imperative for federal funding to continue to ensure that this essential tool of democracy remains available to all Americans and thrives well into the future.
Fast forward to March 2011. Ron Schiller, a senior executive at NPR, was caught on tape in a sting operation criticizing the Republican party, and Tea Party Republicans in particular, as being racist, fundamentalist Christian, and fanatically involved in people's personal lives.
**Side note: Democrats want to control our health care, our education, and what we can feed our kids, but Republicans are "fanatically involved in people's personal lives"? Um, ok ...
Conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe caught Mr. Schiller, along with NPR's director of institutional giving Betsy Liley, meeting with two members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group. The NPR executives didn't know it, but the men were actors representing the fictitious Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC). They claimed that they would like to donate $5 million to NPR.
On a website set up to lend credibility to the MEAC, it explicitly states that its goal in existing is to combat "intolerance to spread acceptance of Sharia across the world." Sharia law, where the death penalty is enforced for apostasy (leaving the faith), a man may punish his wife by beating her, and there is no separation between church and state.
After the undercover tape was released, Schiller was fired, not for being an anti-Republican bigot, but for unprofessional conduct. NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation) also parted ways with the company. NPR issued a statement making it clear that they never had any intention of accepting the $5 million donation offered, and in fact repeatedly refused to accept the donation from the MEAC.
That's when O'Keefe released part two of his NPR sting operation, in which Betsy Liley (from the original video) explains exactly how the Muslim Brotherhood front group committed to spreading acceptance of Sharia law could donate anonymously to avoid any federal investigations.
The second video shows that NPR was not only willing to take the money, but also to be sneaky about it, and then to lie about it when caught red-handed.
National Public Radio can run its business any way it wants to. America is a free country, after all. But it needs to stop doing it on the taxpayer's dime.

Developer Wants Less Parking At Battery Lane Apartment
The developer of a small apartment site at the intersection of Battery Lane and Woodmont Avenue wants less parking for its 47-unit, 90-foot high project.
Reston, Va.-based Duball LLC will go before the Montgomery County Planning Board on July 11 with an amended Site Plan for the Woodmont View, which calls for 83 parking spaces, down from the 101 it promised in its previous approval.
The developer says it no longer thinks commercial parking spaces for a planned first-floor restaurant space will be necessary since that restaurant will use valet parking. The developer also cites the nearby public parking garage across the street on Woodmont Avenue.
The apartment itself will occupy a skinny slice of land on the west side of Woodmont Avenue, north of Battery Lane, where a small four-story office building with a first-floor dry cleaner stands today. The property has about 60 feet of frontage on Battery Lane, where a new apartment building is planned for Aldon's 4857 Battery Lane apartments next door.
Across the street, excavation work continues on 8300 Wisconsin Avenue, where developer StonebridgeCarras is building a 359-unit apartment building and Harris Teeter grocery store. That development will include about 580 underground spaces, 120 of which will be reserved for Harris Teeter customers.
Parking minimums for residential developments in areas with Metro access have presented an interesting debate for county policymakers, who will be examining the Planning Board's proposed Zoning Code Rewrite throughout the summer. The Board proposed cutting some of those minimums in an effort to promote more walkable, transit-oriented places.
Duball also developed the Lionsgate condos (7710 Woodmont Ave.) near Old Georgetown Road and is building a 263-unit apartment tower and 140-room hotel near Rockville Town Center.

I think we underestimate the need to putter every so often. Puttering is going where the day takes you, tying up loose ends, maybe doing something you WANT to instead of doing something you have to, puttering is NOT HAVING A PLAN. Puttering also implies a lack of speed………….moving slowly, sometimes and sometimes not, intentionally.
I love puttering and putting things in order……doing it slowly, enjoying the free time to actually enjoy the process. Sometime we rush through life at a speed which is shameful, we actually miss out on so much just because we don't have the time to stop and look. What are some things that we do every day where we could just enjoy the moment while we live it?? Dishes??? I enjoy the sound of the water, and the smell of the dish soap, the feel of the heat through my rubber gloves. Sometimes I ache because of my auto-immune condition, so the heat is especially lovely in the joints in my hands.
I know it sounds silly, but I LOVE hanging my clothes out to dry. The smell of the fresh laundry, the sound of the birds, and the breeze on my face all make me want to stop and slow down out there.
I hung some wash out, tidied up the kitchen, put some things away, prepared a pot for flowers (I have some to plant today), and filled the flower globe with roses. I plan to putter the day away…….how lovely is that?
So today I will putter. I want to go where the day leads me, and be free to follow my nose………be it ever so slowly.

Double Layer Orange Cream Salad
1 large box orange gelatin
1 small box Cook & Serve lemon pudding
3 (15-ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 small box instant lemon pudding
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Make orange gelatin as directed on package and then set aside, but do not put in fridge to set. Make the Cook & Serve lemon pudding as directed on box. Gently stir liquid orange gelatin and cooked lemon pudding until smooth.
Place the mandarin oranges in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch glass dish (if you have an extra deep one use that!). Next pour the gelatin-pudding mixture over top and smooth with a spoon. Refrigerate overnight until set.
Make the instant pudding as directed. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding and then spread over the set gelatin-pudding mixture. Refrigerate 1–2 more hours before serving. Makes 12–14 servings.
TIP: Try using other combinations of the Cook & Serve puddings and Jell-Os to make your own unique dish! Vanilla pudding and raspberry Jell-O would be yummy with a layer of raspberries in the bottom!

Is Less More?
We've touched on this subject before when we talked about Down Sizing: Moving into a Smaller Space. When moving into a smaller home, it's essential to rid yourself of stuff so that the new space doesn't seem so crowded. But what about those of us that haven't downsized?
We haven't downsized, we're still living in our three bedroom row home in South Philadelphia (our neighborhood affords us the price of not needing to downsize!). We still have the same amount of furniture we had two years ago when we moved in (which wasn't very much to begin with), and maybe even a few more projects we've been meaning to work on down in the basement. However, When we moved into this house two years ago, we certainly purged. We got rid of everything because our friend was moving out of state and gave us pretty much all of his furniture. We haven't purchased anything new, just simply taken in foster furniture we've found on the side of the road that we have yet to determine if we want to keep or not.
We feel pretty good about the fact that we haven't purchased any new furniture in this economy, and we're glad that we have been able to suppress the redecorating bug by simply moving furniture around. With that said, for those of you who have rid yourself of the excess furniture &mdash have you learned that less is more?
Do you feel better after purging the extra furniture and what-have-yous?

I just got inside after walking around outside in the rain. It started out as a drizzle, and it just kept on drizzling and drizzling until it was pouring and I was soaked to the skin. It was like an all-natural shower (though I wasn't naked). Now I'm inside, snuggling up in a big turquoise sweater with llamas and snowflakes on the button bands and cuffs and wearing the most comfortable sweat pants. I've got a huge cup of hot chocolate to one side and a slice of cold pizza on the other (the two go together surprisingly well). I have a new pair of socks on the needles and a novel to write.
It's been a long time since I've done a 'random' post, hasn't it? I think my last truly random one was back in January! It looks like a lot of my posts about the weather seem to fit nicely into the random slot, I suppose because my mind tends to wander when it's raining or snowing out.
My sister is making muffins currently. If she doesn't share with me, a combination of the Hufflepuff and Slytherin inside me will force a few of those pumpkin cream cheese muffins into my stomach. On the topic of food, I have now finished my hot chocolate and pizza and I'm only somewhat full. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, because they were very liberal helpings of both. My stomach must be growing. Or these sweat pants allow me to eat more than I normally could.
And now I have to go and either do some knitting or writing. See you soon!

Last week, we met the fearless leader of the Mallett Integrity Team of Keller Williams, Steve Mallett. Today we are focusing on one of our Buyer's Agents, Lori Howe. I sat down and emailed her a series of questions, ( lets be honest, unless you're on TV, no one actually has time for a face-to-face interview unless its via Skype.) Here is a little bit of information that might help you understand Lori a little better…
When did you get into Real Estate?
2 1/2 years ago
What did you do before Real Estate?
Office Manager for a Christian Counseling Center
What made you interested in being a Realtor?
My husband built homes for years and through that time I really enjoyed learning about buying/selling real estate.
What is your favorite part about the business?
Dealing with Buyers. It is so cool helping people find their dream home and creating relationships with them. It makes me so happy when the process is complete and they are grinning from ear to ear.
What makes you qualified to sell/Buy people's homes?
I spend a lot of time listening to what they want. Whether they are selling or buying, you have to listen. They need to know that someone really cares about one of the most important decisions in their life.
Who is your biggest motivator or Role Model in the business?
There are too many to name.
Where did you get your first sale/buy as an agent?
Kyle, Texas
Why do you think it is important for people to use Agents?
There are so many processes that you have to go through to get to closing. It's not just as easy as agreeing to a price and signing on the dotted line. If you miss one step, you could dig a hole that is really hard to get out of. Agents can take you step by step to insure you get to the closing table and get those keys!
So you can see why we would want her on our team so much. She is experienced, smart and willing to help. The good qualities don't stop there though, she is also creative. Included below is an anology she came up with between pregnancy and real estate:
You finally decide you're ready to take on the career of being a Real Estate Agent.
You work everyday with many disappointments to get that first contract.
Then suddenly when you're not expecting it, it happens.
The excitement of knowing that your career has begun gives you such a rush of true bliss.
Then it begins…..bouts of nausea, sleepless nights, emotional roller coasters trying to get your client the
best deal possible. Will this ever end?
Everyday you pray that the closing date will come earlier, but inevitably it goes past the "expected"
scheduled date.
But finally, the exciting day has arrived. Although you're hoping for a smooth and painless closing,
difficulty arises. You push through the hurdles with every ounces of strength you have. Committed to
delivering a beautiful home to your clients.
You take charge and do everything in your power to make it as painless as possible.
The documents are signed and delivered!
Exhausted and elated, you say…..
I'm ready to do it again!
I hope you got a kick out of this epiphany I had recently. There is a lot of
dedication and hard work that goes into being an agent and I LOVE my job
.Written by: Lori Howe, Real Estate Agent
Next week we will take a look at Ronnie Klein, the newest member of the team. He might be fresh on the Mallett Integrity Team wagon, but there are years of Real Estate under his belt.

Azerbaijan's attempt to mislead Egyptian public with cheap materials is doomed to failure – Armenian Embassy Attache
YEREVAN, MARCH 15, ARMENPRESS. It is ridiculous when a person speaks about freedom and honesty of diplomacy who has no idea about diplomatic ethics and rules, Armenian Embassy's Attache Stepan Gevorgyan commented on the disinformation published in one of the Egyptian media by Azerbaijani embassy's consultant, press service of the Armenian MFA told "Armenpress".
"We consider it unnecessary to enter in a debate with the so-called consultants who are incompetent and have morbid notions of the truth. Our belief is that the professional mass media must not pay attention to such provocative materials that contradict to the journalism rules. Mr. Mashad's desire to please his customers is understandable, but we would recommend not to forget about conscience. Of course, it is surprising that during 10 years the Azerbaijani embassy didn't teach him these diplomatic rules. As for the author's ungrounded statements and remarks, they repeat the same delusions of Baku's totalitarian regime that aim at spreading xenophobia, racism. It is not a news for us, and we have to listen the same recording for more than 25 years", Stepan Gevorgyan said.
Stepan Gevorgyan said he is confident that Azerbaijan's attempt to mislead the Egyptian public with such cheap materials is doomed to failure since the racist phenomena cannot have a place within Egypt's millennial multicultural society.

How To Use Living Books For Science With Elementary Students
Do you love the idea of sitting on the couch, cuddling up and reading? But you have no idea how to use living books to teach science.
Well, look no further. Today, I'm happy to be back on the Sassafras blog to share more about how to use living books to teach science to your elementary students.
Let's start by chatting about your goals for science during the elementary years and what you can use to reach those goals.
What Elementary Science Should Look Like
Your Goals
Keep in mind that elementary students are like an empty bucket begging to be filled. So, your goals for elementary science education are relatively simple.
- First, you want to create an interest in the students for learning science.
- Second, you want to fill the students' minds with fascinating, but basic scientific information.
Living books are excellent tools to help you fulfill these goals!
The Components
When you are teaching science to elementary students, you want to include the following:
- Scientific Demonstrations – Demonstrations are more teacher-led scientific tests. Read more about how they differ from experiments.
- Science-oriented Books – Living books with a science bent definitely fit the bill here!
- Notebooking – You want a way to record what they students are learning. Read more about what notebooking is all about.
You can also add multi-week projects and memory work to round things out if you desire.
How To Use Living Books For Science With Elementary Students
So, now that we understand our goals for teaching science to elementary students and what we need to include – let's get to the nitty-gritty!
I'm going to use a week from volume one of the Sassafras Science Adventures series to show you the plan in action. This is the Sassafras Science blog after all!
That said, you can certainly apply these principles to another book, like the Burgess Bird Book or others from this living books for science list.
Psst...Don't miss the infographic summary at the end of the post!
Day 1 - Science-Oriented Living Books and Notebooking
First up – reading. Start by reading the first section of Chapter 2 of The Sassafras Science Adventures Volume 1: Zoology.
This part of the chapter introduces the student to the grasslands as well as lions. After you finished reading the section, spend a few moments discussing what you just read with the students.
You can do this by asking two different types of questions:
- Leading – This type of question is designed to pull out the most important information. (E.g. What is different between male and female lions?)
- Broad – This type of question will help you to see what material the students have absorbed. (E.g. What one thing that you have about lions in this chapter?)
After you have completed the reading and discussion time with the students, you will want them to complete a notebooking page on lions. A typical first grader might include the following information:
"Lions roar. Male lions have a mane. Lions are cats. Their cubs have spots"
You could also have the students define grassland or mammal and add those definitions to a glossary they have created in their student notebook.
Day 2 - Science-Oriented Living Books and Notebooking
Today, you would begin by reading the second section of Chapter 2 of The Sassafras Science Adventures Volume 1: Zoology. This part of the chapter introduces the student to the cheetah. After you finished reading the section, spend a few moments discussing what you just read with the students using both leading and broad questions.
The typical fourth grader might dictate or write:
"Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world. They can go up to sixty miles an hour. Female cheetahs can have up to four babies at a time. Their babies are born with coat of long gray hair."
You could also have the students define food chain or carnivore and add those definitions to a glossary they have created in their student notebook.
Day 3 – Scientific Demonstration and Notebooking
Now that you have finished reading the chapter for the week, you can do a related scientific demonstration with the students. In the Sassafras Guide to Zoology, it suggests that you do the demonstration "Cat's Eyes." This is designed to help the students see why a cat, like a lion and a cheetah, has eyes that seem to glow at night.
Once you complete that demonstration, you can have the students fill out a lap report that covers the following:
- Our Tools – This section will list the materials that were used during the demonstration.
- Our Method – This section will contain the procedure for the demonstration in the student's words.
- Our Outcome – This section will contain what the student saw and record any data they have collected.
- Our Insight – The final section of their lab report will contain a sentence or two about what the student has learned from the demonstration. Ideally, this will relate to the science being studying, but it is fine at this level for their sentences to be more superficial.
You could also have the student fill out a habitat sheet about the grasslands if you would like to add a bit more writing to this day.
Note – Before we continue onto what you could do for day 4 and 5, let me say that what follows is optional. So, in other words, you can skip this stuff, or if your students are really enjoying what they are learning, you can keep going!
Day 4 – Science-Oriented Books and Projects
On day 4, you can look to the library for related books on lions, cheetahs, or the grasslands. Alternatively, you can look these topics up in an encyclopedia.
After you read, let the project fun begin! Have your students create a shoe-box diorama of the grasslands, adding in the lion and cheetah. You can complete the project in one week, or stretch it over two if you would like.
Basically, the students will take a shoe-box and cover or paint it with a grasslands backdrop. Then, they will add several 3-D versions of the plants and animals that are found in the grasslands to complete their diorama.
Day 5 – Multi-week Project and Review
On the last day of your week, have the students create an animal diet chart. This will have three categories based on you guessed it – animal diet. So there will be one section for herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.
This week they will place the lion and cheetah under the carnivore side. As they continue to read the book, they can place the various animals they study under the appropriate section.
Finally, you can have your students begin to memorize the definitions of a food chain, grassland, and mammal or the characteristics of a mammal, i.e. "Mammals are warm-blooded, feed their babies milk and have fur or hair covering most of their body."
The end of it all
Whew . . . if you made it all the way through this post, I trust that you now have a complete picture of how you can structure your week when you choose to use living books to teach elementary science.
Here is a handy infographic summary for you to use:
Psst . . . I would be remiss if I did not tell you that we have already done the work of pulling together the resources and scheduling the week for you! So, if you are reading one of the novels from the Sassafras Science series, be sure to check out our activity guides, logbooks, and lapbooks!
