Good Evening, Flowers! It was another beautiful day in my neighborhood and tomorrow is supposed to be even better. It was a long boring day at school today. The material we had to read and discuss was from the 1970s and 80s! I guess the pendulum must be swinging back to that school of thought again. One of the teachers mentioned it would be nice to teach "character, respect, self-discipline, and manners" along with the rest of the curriculum. He got a standing ovation! Tomorrow should be a "normal" day and Thursday will duplicate today.
Gloria -- I'm sending sunshine your way! Is your DH having surgery on his knee? I hope all goes well for him. A year ago when I had my toe surgery and again when I had a colonoscopy this summer, the nurse asked me if I felt 'safe' at home and if I got enough to eat. I just laughed and asked her if I looked like I didn't get enough to eat. I know they have to ask those questions as part of being mandatory abuse reporters. We have to do the same at school. (not ask questions but observe any signs of abuse)
Gail -- If you've said, I missed it. How did Robyn hurt her arm in the first place? That is so scary! I hope she doesn't continue to have trouble with it. Your dinner out tonight sounds like fun. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
"Gma" -- Doesn't it feel so nice to have clean carpet? When we had carpet and DH would shampoo it regularly, we always thought it got dirtier faster the next time. We had it professionally cleaned the first few times and then bought our own shampooer. DH thinks schools should be run like a business which would eliminate a few problem students. Then if all parents had to pay tuition, that would eliminate a few more!
Maggie -- We both posted about the same time last night so I had to go back and find out about the figs! I've never had fresh figs. We had snow flurries Sunday morning but they didn't last long. I don't cross country ski. I tried power walked with walking sticks and about broke my neck! I took a 'walking' class to renew my teaching certificate several years ago. It was fun and we did alot of walking during the course of the week.
I need to do some ironing so better keep moving! Have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow. Another week is flying by so quickly!
Jean -- from Iowa!
