Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend is Memorial Day! Thank you to all of our soldiers who have died for our Country! What an honor!!

A little trivia below for you:

Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the Military Service. It was first enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War and was expanded after World War 1.

The Help- good read!

I finished "The Help", by Kathryn Stockett, last week. Very moving book! It is about black maids in the south during the 1960's. They talk about what it was like to live and to take care of the white people's homes and children. Don't you think for one minute the white women could be real housewives! They couldn't make it without the maids! To think that it actually happened is beyond me! How can someone treat another human being with such disregard? It just blows my mind! Intense at times...but an easy read!

Hot May Day

It is supposed to be a real hot today in NH today...92 degrees!... Makes me wonder what the Summer will be like if the Spring is already hot like this! I will have to break out the fan for the students that come in because they are too hot...along with my infamous ice packs! They are a cure all... Oh and water too of course!
Enjoy the day!!

4-H is a wonderful program. It teaches kids responsibility. It teaches them respect. It teaches them confidence! How rewarding is it to take two calves that are only a few days (hours) old and teach them to follow you around like dogs?! My daughter has done just that with these two. Ernie (on the right) and Elmo (on the left). They are Holstein/Jersey cross. They adore her. They follow her around like she is their mother. She loves it! They listen better to her than they do me...hope they don't get loose when she isn't home!

So...I'm in the middle of reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and I can not put it down! I have only just started getting into it because I have been so busy these last few weeks...
So far, this book is intense! An easy read. You've got to try it out!

Molly

Meet Molly... The newest addition to the family. We found her at a Farm and the owner wanted to get rid of all of his kittens. It was all I could do to just take her! Isn't she precious?

Girls Day! The boys are off for the day!
What to do?
