Globes and Maps!

Okay, this was the second time I was asked if I wanted the senior discount at the thrift store. Instead of being insulted, that the cashier thought I was 11 years older than I am, this time I got smart and said, "Sure!" I found lots of goodies and they were all half off....since I am old.

I've started collecting vintage globes for Lucas. Here are three he has on top of his wardrobe:

Lucas' Globes

Here is the globe I got, today, on my senior discount:

Lucas' new $2.50 light up globe

Lucas will think it's cool all lit up at night.

From Lucas' desk. This his only globe with a wooden base.

Here is the oldest one, I believe. He has fun determining the age of the globe with Stan...which countries still existed on the globes, etc. It's kind of their treasure hunt.

Now, some Pinterest inspiration for Globe and Map Decor:
