About Us

Hi Folks,

Thanks for visiting our blog!

My name is Charlotte Mathes. My son, Max Mathes-Redd and I make up The Mathes Group, an educational family business. Now that I have retired from college level teaching and Max is  a secondary level Social Studies teacher, we have decided to join forces and continue our passion for teaching and writing. In order to keep our sanity in this crazy fast world, we have taken up doodads as a family hobby.You may wonder what turned us to doodads. “What the heck is a doodad,” you might ask? A doodad is something that makes one or both of us curious and something we think is super. For example, a doodad can be a website, a book, a joke, a game, a toy or a whatchamacallit.

To get things rolling, we created a super doodad website on our favorite hobby, model railroading. If you are not a train lover, no worries! just bookmark us and come back later. We’ll make a doodader out of you yet.
