Lesson 736: Cold Hands Warm Heart

 Hello, Readers.

It sure has been cold.


Then warm.




Then cold again.


The wintry mix left the landscape breathtaking 
on the ride home from work today.


Cold hands,
warm heart, so they say.

Valentine's Day always warms my heart.
Natalie got a Minnie Mouse valentine.


My dogs sent me one.
They should have stuffed the card with money.
Or drink chips.


Cold hands,
warm belly.

I love this tea at nighttime.


Yogi tea has the tea bags with little sayings on the tag.


This one is good, too,
but I only buy this one because I like the bear on the box.


Hot hands,
Cool player.

You are lucky if your kid is playing a game and 
Kevin Soles shows up with a camera!
You can look through his shorts,
order right from Smug Mug,
and they are sent right to your house in a few days.



It's nice to have friends.
It's even nicer to have friends with cameras 
that take good indoor shots
in our dimly gym.
Here's a capture from Wendy.


Sam caught an elbow from a charging Bison this week.

It didn't make the ESPN News segment though.


Busy hands,
Busy minds.

My students made fruit pianos this week.


More from the school front:
Tom Atkins came to talk with some interested teachers today.


He taught us about weather and wind patterns.


We worked through the process of launching a 
weather balloon.


Cold hands,
warm heart.


We had to inflate in the bus garage
because the balloon needed to be bigger than the doorways
in the school.


What a great learning experience!


There she is!


And there she goes!


We tracked the balloon for about an hour as it traveled to a spot near Ellicottville, NY.
We'll go retrieve it this weekend.


Warm hands from turning pages...

Verity was a page turner,
but not a book for everyone,
nor the faint of heart.


This is really well written and reads easy,
but it's tough content--a mother who doesn't bond with her child--
and that makes for sad and frustrating for Eloise.


Here's what I really want to read this weekend.


Cold hands, cold butt.

The controversial Russian skater
met her end--literally and figuratively,
finishing 4th and leaves with no medal.
I still don't understand how she was allowed to compete.


The real question for your homework this week:
Analyze this photo.
Was the disgruntled Russian figure skater
who threw a fit over receiving a silver medal, 
really flipping off the judges?
Look at her left hand, and, um...
piercing eyes.

Cold hands, frozen heart.


Enjoy your weekend, Readers.
Not much of the winter left.
Hang in there.

Eloise
