Lesson 588: Good vs Well

Hello there, Readers!

Happy Easter weekend,

and good Good Friday to you.

You can tell it is almost Easter--

the cards have arrived from Grandma 

with full postage--

she lives 86 strides away from the Lamp Post.

Good for the postman, I suppose.

Good Friday got me thinking about 

good vs well. 

Let's start off with your weekend homework--

after these spring nature photos

to put you in a better mood.

Nobody likes homework over a holiday weekend.

(amazing how she blends in, isn't it?)

Weekend homework:

Read in full.

Good vs Well from Merriam-Webster CLICK HERE

For you are going to lie to me on Monday

and try to tell me that you did your weekend grammar homework

here's the Cliff Note version of

the  good vs well rule

 from grammerly:

Good vs. Well–How Should I Use Them? | Grammarly

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/good-well/

The rule of thumb is that good is an adjective and well is an adverb. 

Good modifies a noun; something can be or seem good.

 Well modifies a verb; an action can be done well. 

However, when you're talking about health, 

well can be used as an adjective.

 Well, then.

Here are some adjective versions for you--

people doing well---

Clark School's Mr. Hand

and his tiny bike posse.

If you do well in school,

good things come.

Word to the locals--

if you haven't seriously looked into Edinboro University

and all they are offering for an honors student--

you are crazy.

Ellen is receiving quite a college package!

Good test scores

mean preparing well.

We start them young.

Pennsylvania State Tests?

No Probllama!

Good job, kids!

You did well!

Here's a good facebook change:

Eloise--the Visual Storyteller.

Me likey.

Forgive the clarity of the photos--

they are still good,

although a bit foggy.

Eloise loves fog.

We've had some foggy days this week

and I wanted this blog to have a Londonish feel.

I don't get too creeped out walking in the dense 

morning fog

now that I have a pitbull by my side.

Hazel and I spied this light 

as we slogged through the wet fields.

A search light?

A beacon?

A come to Jesus moment?

It was just the light on the back concession stand.

Bummer.

Even the misplaced seagulls thought so.

April is Light it Up Blue Month

in recognition of Autism.

We're doing a good job with inclusion.

Thank you Autism Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania!

A special thanks to Erie County Elite Athletic Academy

 who offered a baseball clinic this month

for those with autism.

It's a great new indoor place on Iroquois Avenue--

eastsiders, check it out!

 Here is a peek into My Autismlandia--

sister Kenyan has a vlog!

Check out this video for a truer picture

of autism on the severe side.

You'll even catch a peek of Eloise.

It's a good, Good Friday.

Be well.

Lesson 587: Schooled

Hello, Readers.

Eloise here,

chippity choppity hair and all.

This photo shows the new length.

It was a necessity to even up the broken chunk.

Recipe for a hair disaster:

1.  YMCA pool chlorine

2.   Add hair bleach necessary to cover gray caused by 4 family members, 175 students, and a puppy who has a taste for shoes.

3.    Attach a 1995 hair scrunchy to your ponytail

4.    Leave on overnight

5.   Use a fox tail brush and dust pain to clean up pile of broken hair off of your pillow

6.  Put hair in your yard so birds can use it for their nests

It's only hair, right?     

It's starting to look a little more like spring.

Baby buds and blossoms.    

Soaking baseball uniform.

Yes, white.

I hate white.

Park walks with no jackets.

Still not quite ready to give up that basketball.

With some nice wins to start us off,

baseball season is proving just as fun.

Ellen Louise found a Prom date.

Natalie has been wearing blue for autism awareness.

Eloise is neck deep in the fourth quarter of school--

always busy.

Here is your food for thought tonight.

Now, let's be clear--

this share is not antagonistic--

it is not meant to make a statement--

nor imply anything.

I read lots of educational articles and books,

and this was really interesting 

about the structure of high school.

The author Bernie,

describes himself  as

just another frustrated teacher.

Mrs. Eloise isn't frustrated--

maybe just recognizing that we are on the cusp of change,

or need for it in some regard.

Teacher peeps,

parents,

administrators,

school board members,

and basically anyone who has attended high school

should read this for your weekend homework.

Very interesting article- Click Here-

Have a great weekend!

Lesson 586: 767

Hello, Readers.

Eloise is a day late,

and $500 dollars short 

in the posting of this blog.

I could blame the weather.

Last weekend we were all praying 

for the snow to stop.

The robins were hanging out on the bare spots

on the road,

confused.

It's OK, Momma Robin.

Donkey is still trying to figure it all out, too.

By midweek,

the sun came out.

We are happy that Grandpa has a brand new knee!

Things were looking up!

Even the flowers were trying to fight their way to life.

Once everything was stable at the Lamp Post,

Eloise and sister Kenyan 

headed out on a 28 hour,

767 mile adventure.

Traveling with my sister 

is an continuous string of emotion,

due to a combination of

sugar consumption

and road rage.

We passed beautiful farms as we traveled

through our great state of Pennsylvania.

The bare trees moved from buds

 to blossoms.

We snagged Ellen Louise

from her class trip to Washington DC.

We brought her to Pittsburgh early Saturday morning

for an interview for a scholarship.

She's down to the final 6!

We snagged Cousin Jack from Duquesne

and made good on our ball team promise from last year.

We loved No Off Season in Tarentum, PA

so much,

we gave it another go 

for the season opening tournament this year.

The boys started off the weekend with back to back wins!

It doesn't surprise Eloise at all.

I went for a walk with my best friend

 earlier this week

and we spied the team practicing.

Eloise has to go reattach her head 

to her body

because it spun off.

Rest is desperately needed 

before round 3 of the weekend warpath.

After tomorrow's trip

the weekend total mileage will be

1,067!

Eloise
