Today was another school tour at Hanna’s Town. There were 108 kids signed up from Norwin 2nd grade, plus teachers and parents. This time – for tin punch – there were two of us. That made it much easier. We always have a variety of skill levels, from over-achievers to ‘why am I here again?’. I don’t think I mentioned that last week one student asked me if I lived there full time (in the 19th century house we were working in). He was amazed that I DIDN’T and wanted to know where I really lived and WHY I didn’t live there. Well….
Today we had three sessions before lunch, then a break. The kids were outside running through the yard when the mail truck came up Forbes Road and put mail in the box. I heard one little boy shout excitedly: “I KNEW we weren’t in the 1700’s! There’s the mailman!” So, I guess he thought the school bus traveled back 200 years to get to Hanna’s Town. I hope he wasn’t too disappointed!
I went to work when we finished school tours. At the Jeannette store I did a DL inquiry and put it in backwards! I realized my mistake but since when does PENNDOT EVER want first name, middle, last? It’s always last name first! I guess I just need to pay closer attention. Or maybe I just need to stay in the 21st century and pay attention.
While I was waiting for Chrissy yesterday I snapped two pictures of the view from Nate’s driveway. It’s a beautiful view.
The neighbor (the one who cuts his grass every day) bought a swing set for his 3-year-old. I know he’ll have trouble adjusting to mowing around it. I hated mowing around our swing set back in the day!
In the meantime, the neighbor across the street has his antique cars outside yesterday morning. Not every day you have a car show out your front door!
It was a comfortable, sunny day for being outside, so I spent two hours cleaning out the front flower beds. I think the only thing I have left to do is the hill (both sides) and a small section along the driveway. I also need to get some Round-up for the stones on the hill. After I finish this I will do the ironing from the weekend and make myself supper.

Quote:
TOMORROW May 10th is:
World Lupus Day; National Lipid Day; National Third Shift Workers day; National Clean Up Your Room Day; National Receptionists Day; National Shrimp Day; National School Nurse Day; National Washington Day (the state, not the General!)
Tomorrow for me is ‘stay home all day’ day – I’ll celebrate that! Have a wonderful Wednesday! (I still may celebrate George…) God bless…
