Lesson 946: Good

 Hello, Readers.

Eloise, here.

It is Good Friday.

And yes,

Sunday is coming.

Indeed!

Today was a good day.

It was a quiet house this morning

and I got to spend some time 

thinking about my faith.

Then these two waddled by!

Mr. Duck

and Mrs. Duck

I need a brush-up on duck stuff.

Do ducks return to the same spot year after year?

From what I read tonight,

this could be a seasonal pair.

The mountain is greening up!

It is Good to see the GREEN.

After the rain,

our small gang of happy hikers

took  a walk along a horse trail.

Destination:  Parrish Rockshelter

We saw some Good Gnomes along the way.

And a few other things

for Good Storytelling.

The woods are an interesting place.

If only the Gnomes would talk!

It felt Good to be warm today!

I haven't felt warm in nature 

in a very, very long time.

Happy Easter, Readers.

The world is anew.

Eloise

 

Lesson 945: Calculations

 Hello, Readers!

According to my calculations,

the Big Baby of the family turned 19 today.

We celebrated at 5 Iron Golf.

It was so fun!

And there was a Motown Band--

an added bonus!

Sam is a Math major at Penn State Behrend.

His multiple math classes are always his favorite.

Here is an example of one of his practice questions.

Sam said he had to tell his Prof this problem was incorrect.

Inherited ability from his Mom, no doubt.

Here is my kind of Math:

According to my calculations

the Golden Forsythia is about to bust.

I smell Spring!

And Penny does, too.

According to my calculations,

I should be getting some precious time back into my schedule.

The Happy Rollers are done for the season.

The Gliding Stars season also came to a close.

It was the 26th year!

Their ice show was so cute this year.

No matter where I am,

she always finds me.

She loves skating with sweet Alex!

The show is always so good,

But these two stole the show this year!

A reminder from Ellen's teacup.

Calculate the time in your week.

When was the last time you extended yourself

to help someone?

Have a great weekend!

Lesson 943: Funny Things

 Hello, Readers.

It's Eloise here, in the Great Lakes Region

experiencing the typical crackpot weather in March.

One day like this,

and the next like this.

Ice and snow

wiped away the memory of 70 degrees

the week prior.

Funny how that works.

Even the wildlife was saying,

this is for the birds.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel--

spring arrived today!

Mr. Lamp Post practices reading with Natalie

every single day.

She's doing so well!

Funny thing what fifteen minutes of focus each day can do.

Weekend homework:  try it!

Pick something you want to improve 

and practice for 15 minutes every single day.

Eloise has been suffering with a case of diagnosed laryngitis.

I'm on my 12th day.

12 days of sucking on lozenges,

leaving me with a sour stomach

and some very bad breath.

Time,

fluids,

and vocal rest 

were the doctor's orders.

However,

there is not much of a chance for vocal rest in school.

One of the first graders tapped me on the shoulder

while we were working on a floor game this week.

The students noticed that my voice was returning

and slowly improving.

"Mrs. Eloise,

you don't sound like a scary person anymore..

you just sound like a frog."

One of the funniest things I followed this week

was the airport drama of a friend,

and her newfound friendship

with a foreign stranded passenger named Lucy.  

Here are a few funny things to end this blog tonight.

I'm going to get a copy of this

to hang in our cabin.
