2011 Christmas Program (12.5.11)  

Posted by Benjie in , , , ,

All of the children were in the Christmas program @ MGES this year. Here are a few of the selections-- (1) starring Little Bit; (2) featuring Bubba; and (3) the whole school (K-6). [Sorry, I didn't get the camera set right to feature Puddin' N Pie's class by herself.]





Life in the Rural Midwest

My children are home from school today. My blushing bride (who works as a reading aide at the school in a neighboring town) is home from school today. No, they are not all sick. No, they are not playing hookey. It's a holiday. Didn't you know?

It's Deer Day!
   
Happy Hunting           







Just Another Holiday  

Posted by Benjie in , ,

It seems our local school district looks for any reason to dismiss, and exercises its right to dismiss on every occasion it can find. The occasion today is Pulaski Day. This holiday is celebrated in Illinois for the apparent reason of taking another day off.

So, happy Pulaski Day, even though (unless you're from Illinois or of Polish descent) you've probably never heard of him or his day. Take the day off, relax, and enjoy life.
