Museum night at BSH

Each student in the 3rd,4th,& 5th grades, select an individual from history and dress like them and have a 60 second talk they give when a "buzzer" in front of them is pushed at their location by an observer.  The 3rd grade use a frame and they are the picture as you can see in Michaels.   Elizabeth was Eleanor Roosevelt and Michael was Paul Revere.  It is called the "wax museum" as each student in the 4th and 5th grades are to be a "statue" until their buzzer is pushed and then they give their talk.

                                                                                                                 


  

It's on to the beach Saturday for a week and we are getting "bucket list" ready for the trip.  I would like to go every other week, but gas prices have a dampening effect on that goal.

National Junior Honor Society

We attended ceremonies at BSH this morning where Abby was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.





We will be back to BSH tonight for the "wax museum" which Michael and Elizabeth will be in.

80 degree day

Had some engraving to complete and then mail. After that, worked in garden and it was hot. I planted 100 onion sets, lettuce, radishes and Edna planted broccoli, and snap peas. I need to get a bed ready for the potatoes, beets and spinach.

Forecast is for a record on Thursday (84) and we are talking about maybe a cookout down by the river Sunday. Went with Elizabeth to look at chicks at Southern States and when we crossed the James, almost all of the islands were under water. Only straight run chicks, so we came home empty handed, will try next week, but really only need bantams for the garden as we have more eggs than we need.

Woody goes to PETCO Thursday for his summer clip. He needs it before we head for the beach the end of March.

A sign of spring

With this bloom, it must mean that spring has arrived.  Cold last night, had fires both up and down stairs and was nice and warm.  Fire tonight upstairs to take the chill off., may be getting to the end of fires, and that is good as we are running low on wood.



Went to Bass Pro today with Dale and Will for "Kids catch and release fishing".
Had no problem with the release, as they was no catch.  In 45 minutes with over 50 kids not one fish was seen, let alone be caught.  Next year they should bill as "drown a worn day".

New Home away from home

Edna enters our new home away from home for first time.  We have a new motor home, it is shorter than Escape To by 4 feet, however is a class A type.  Our shakedown trip was the Virginia Horse Center with our engraving booth for the Intermont 4 day show.  Next trip will be to the beach in SC for 5 days.

Elizabeth was one of the cheer leaders at the BSH basketball games for the school.  
                                                                                  
Weather is getting warmer and Reeder has already started planting our garden, and I need to get the potatoes in this next week with some lettuce and onions.
