Many people have hobbies. Often as children we tried different things that looked appealing such as stamp collecting, saving postcards from foreign countries, rocks, books, etc. We thought it was a good idea at the time and so we pursued it. In the Good Gus series the children did dig for dinosaur bones. In book twenty-five, “Did Dinosaurs Roam Pecos?” Miss Patty took all the children along with Sheriff Gus to a dry creek so that they could dig for fossils. Katie came along in her wheelchair and participated using a rake. When she became tired, she took a break and her friend, Rose, sat with her. All of a sudden they heard a hissing sound and saw a snake. All digging stopped so that Sheriff Gus could save Katie. Needless to say, I didn’t write any more books about possible hobbies. In some TV shows there have been mysteries about stamp collectors and the lost of their unique stamps. They often led to a myriad of events and circmstances. Hobbies can also include horseback riding, stock car racing, box car racing, and a variety of crafts. In many countries, people make quilts and have groups who knit or sew together. Cooking can even be a hobby. That is probably how many of the famous chefs actually started. Both my children learned to cook from a young age and now my granddaughter is doing the same. For me, cooking is a way of life. I started learning how to make Irish Bread by the time I was four. I had a family member that made Boston baked beans every Saturday. Needless to say not my favourite. What do you like to do? Don’t forget reading is a great hobby and a book from the Good Gus series is an ideal way to start a child on a new hobby. Remember “Misplaced Trust” is an interesting book for the adults on your Christmas list.
