Good Morning, woke to rain this morning and doesn't look like the sun is going to get out today. Its ok, probably need it and I have plans to bake today, so weather outside is never a problem on my "feel like cooking days"
Carolb, I'm so glad you are Normal today, oh, I mean that you are in Normal
Sorry, I just couldn't let that go by
Know you all will have a great time, wishing I could be there, hope the sun is shining nicely for you all.
I went to school yesterday and had "Hawk dogs"
Grands school had a big rally day and had hot dogs, (school mascot is the Hawks). So between the cheerleaders, band and school choir and dance group, we ate. I mean we really were set in the middle of these groups. I have to add that indigestion was served as a side
I actually enjoyed it, we visited classrooms before and that was fun. Nice to see whats going on, can't say I understood some of the stuff my grandson in first grade was supposed to comprehend though, its this common core and I saw no reasoning in what he was doing and bless his heart he seemed puzzled too. Something parents sure can't help their children with, I'm thinking. Words he was to match up with another, were so far off from one another, I saw no reasoning at all in it. Of course, he was on a computer and had ear phones on, so what he was hearing might have helped fix the puzzle somewhat, (giving the benefit of the doubt here) The older generation being able to write, where its readable and read and comprehend and add in their heads totals when buying something, doesn't seem too bad, getting back to the real basics makes more sense to me, but then what do I know. Just so glad I am not raising a child in this generation. Had a fun day though.
Irmi, glad you all are headed south, hope to see you sometime this winter. I'll be up that way soon. Anita's trip sounds like its been a great success, waiting for pictures, they have to be fabulous. I love everyone else's trips, some I have not ever intended to do, I most enjoy them, and this trip of Anita's is one of those. Glad Beth is getting closer to being warm. Don't think she is yet, just warmer, she'll soon be warm, I hope. Wishing safe travels to all of you on the road, in some areas, take great care , please.
On to baking here, and hoping I'm not to tempted to taste to much of it
Wishing you all a good day,
CArol
Liz and Alice got in first, enjoy your game Liz and Alice, hopefully you'll have some fun besides chores in your day. Morning to you too, Melissa, will try posting again
Hopefully third try is a charm and not a poof !!!!
Had a long driving day yesterday, so turned in early last night before Kathy was to arrive, so I'm really looking forward to seeing two Kathy's when I go inside. Toasty in HB, courtesy of Kathleen's electric AND Mother Nature--temp above freezing this a.m.!
