3 Books From Fellow Female Tradeswomen- Read & Review


Hello everyone,

I decided to read 3 books from women in the trades who share my same experiences. It will help me when I write my second volume. These women come from different parts of the world and from different time eras. They all offer a similar yet slightly different perspective on working as a woman in construction. I plan to read the following books and provide a review . Have a great week! I will give a review ASAP 

Cheers!

I spent part of the weekend up in Syracuse to watch my son and his team WIN the New York state football championship for their division!! There was some snow but not a tremendous amount. We can't leave Syracuse without stopping to get some Syracuse University team gear. It was exciting to watch the game in the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University. The road trip was a 4-hour ride from New York City. I rode up and grabbed my eldest son Tom after work. He is an alumni Carmel Ram so watching his brother be on the field was rewarding. I was happy to see my son come running to look for his brother and I as soon as he could at the end of the game. I will share the pictures and video when I get a chance in another blog post. I'm proud of my son for putting in the work to join the team and be a part of a winning varsity football team. In other great news, I recently got my
