Lesson 948: Green (again)

Hello Readers!

Eloise, here.

We have reached the weekend

and it's a green one.
 

What a difference a week makes in mid-April!

Last week:

This week:

The color of the day last Sunday

was Sand and Lake Blue,

as the A-Team and I took a ride around the peninsula.

Sometimes it is nice to be the only ones on the beach!

The Clark School tree, just below the north hill,

 is greening up.

The kids are getting outside for recess

for some nice fresh air.

Just over that Clark School southern hill

is Harbor Ridge Golf Course.

They hit up the driving range on Sunday

and the course tonight.

The Queen gives her pro tips.

A big congratulations to Ellen!

She is the new Harbor Creek High School Lady Huskies Golf Coach!

I'll capitalize on the science fiction reference

and shout from the rooftops out into the cosmos--

GO SEE PROJECT HAIL MARY!!

This is the movie

And here is the book

Witty and exciting is the perfect description.

Reading the book,

then watching the movie 

is the best way to experience a story.

After reading it,

the story never left me.

I kept thinking about it.

I could not imagine how anyone

could put that story into pictures.

It would be impossible.

Almost as impossible as saving the world.

But...

they did it.

I'm not going to link the movie trailer

because it gives too much away if you are making your way

through the story.

Here is someone else's 

book to movie adaptation thumbs-up rating.

Do you agree?

Here's an adaptation for you--

we went to a Behrend baseball game

and sat on the AWAY side!

Jake donned his Gannon jersey

and we showed up to watch him play!

Sam will be playing for the American Legion this summer,

so we aren't putting our gear away yet.

He has three weeks left,

and his freshman year of college will be done.

We catch the Huskies at home when 

the weather isn't doesn't leave the ground like this:

Super fun with 8 dog paws.

This little thing is driving my dogs nuts.

It toys with them outside of their watchdog window.

Look at the beautiful red stripe!

Here are the little things driving Mr. Lamp Post nuts.

He got the best of them on Tuesday evening.

They got the best of him this morning--not one bite!

I like the color green.

As I was thinking of a blog title for tonight,

it ran an emerald little bell.

Had I used it once before?

Looking back,

I did use it in a similar title

back in 2017.

It's fun for me to look back,

seeing how far we've traveled in our timeline.

Lesson 947: Oasis

Hello, Readers.

Eloise here,

reporting in from our oasis

we call Earth.

The blog title tonight

gives tribute to NASA Astronaut Victor Glover's

Easter night sentiments

to all of humanity.

Here is Astronaut Glover speaking from the heart,

while his brothers and sister in space

smiled in agreement.

Well stated, impromptu statements,

rank has high for me as a good candid photo.

For the Readers--

here are Victor Glover's words in typeface,

interspersed with shots from the oasis.

From Astronaut Glover when asked by a reporter if he wished to share any messages to the people back home on Earth:

"You know, 

I don't have anything prepared.

I'm glad you brought that up though.

I think these observances are important.

And as we are so far from Earth

And looking back, you know,

at the beauty of creation,

for me,

one of the really important perspectives that I have up here

is I can really see Earth as one thing

and, when I read the Bible

and look at all the amazing things that were done for us,

whoever created it,

you have this amazing place,

this spaceship.

You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship

really far from Earth,

but you're in a spaceship called Earth

that was created to give us a place to live 

in the universe,

in the cosmos.

I think maybe the distance we are from you

makes you think what we are doing is special,

but we are the same distance from you.

And what I'm trying to tell you,

just trust me

you are special

in all of this emptiness.

This is a whole bunch of nothing

this thing you call the universe.

You have this oasis,

this beautiful place we get to exist together.

I think as we go into Easter Sunday

thinking about, 

you know,

all of the cultures all around the world,

whether you celebrate it or not,

whether you believe in God or not,

This is an opportunity for us to remember where we are,

who we are,

and that we are the same thing

and that we have got to get through this together.

Standing applause, Astronaut Glover!
