Budding Architect or Engineer

One of my grandchildren, a third grader likes to build "forts and Houses" with the cushions from our patio furniture which we store under the window in our breakfast nook.

The cool thing (which the Mrs. just told me today) is that she likes to make a drawing of the fort before she builds it.!

Looks like a budding Architect or Engineer!

She's smart as a whip and ornery as heck. ....a real challenge for her single mom to stay ahead of.

Architects are ideas people. Engineers are numbers people. She will sort this out.
