Lesson 808: Fresh Mind


Hello, Readers!
Happy football season
to the fans reading this blog!


It's a new season
and a fresh storyline.


We had the kick off spaghetti dinner at the Lamp Post tonight.
We carbed up the boys real good, Hickory Hornets.
We'll be ready to outrun your stingers. tomorrow.


To the Lamp Post each young man arrived


welcomed by my lens,
and escorted by the pups.


Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed the parade of players!




I hope the team approaches this season with a fresh mind.
We learned this term on our opening day in-service
from our guest speaker.



School is a good place,
and my wish is for all students and teachers
to approach the 23-24 school year with an
attitude of openness and eagerness.


Although we are eager to begin another school year,
it is bittersweet to see the summer come to an end.

For the last several years we've been attending
the Crawford County Fair 
on our last day of summer vacation.
We brought our fresh minds
out into the fresh country air.


It is one of my very favorite places to visit.
Eloise loves farm animals.




I love moo cows--
only the dairy ones--
I can't face the rest.


I pretend every pig is Wilbur 
and will be in a forever home,
raised by Fern.


I really enjoy watching the fancy, prancy horses.





I love the community exhibit.
There you will find Lego displays.



Bee education.



The locals sure are talented.



This booth was of particular interest to Eloise this year!


Look who got accepted into the next class!


The dynamic duo known around the Lamp Post 
as Samanna,
won big at the cup game.


Don't have two athletes pitching dimes into cups.


Nine of the highest quality glasses east of the Mississippi.


Country life one day,


City life another.
We couldn't hack the wait long enough
to see Flo Rida


but the chalk drawings on the city street
were sure something to see.





Here is some great advice for the fresh minded folks
as you begin your school year:


School is in session,
so here is your weekend homework.
No complaining.
It's a video.
This was shared to the Clark teachers at our meeting today.

Even if you've read the book,
spend the 6 minutes on this review.


I must end with the quote of the week,
from Cousin Alexis.
I have been chuckling all day about this.
After an unfair encounter with an angry old man,
she responded, in part,

Hell hath no fury like a woman fighting the toxic patriarchy.
Sit your ass down and get out of the way.
We’ve got real shit to worry about.

Say it again, Dear Cousin!

Eloise
