THE SCHOOL BELLS ARE RINGING


It looks like it is going to be a very soggy start to the first official day of school around here. The teachers have been back for a week but now it's for all the students to report, I am sure Andrew has been waiting all summer for this day to get hear. Also today it is Emma's first day of school and she is to Tussing. We were suppose to have our first softball game of the year tonight but with all the rain we had overnight and all predicted rain today it's not looking good for softball tonight. The only good thing about a holiday on monday is it make for a short work week, only four days of work and I like that. In ACC football action last night Florida St beat Miami 13-10, and no I didn't stay up to see the end of this game. Tiger Woods won his 5th straight golf tournament yesterday erasing a 3 stroke lead in the first 9 holes yesterday and went on two defeat Vijay Singh but 2 shots, Tiger is in a grove right now. Somebody soup privledges might have to be revoked, the pot that I gave them there soup hasn't been returned yet, this individual does read the blog and knows who they are. MICKEY

I take responsibility for the soup pot - it washed an ready for return - acutally has been for a week. Lee is slacking on his responsibilities!

I knew it. Teachers have so much to get done before the kids come

I'm glad the soup bowl has been solved. I guess Lee has taken over the truck.

I've been thinking about Emma. Who is her teacher. Tell Mary that Allison Krupp is the secretary at Tussing

Al said...

her teacher is mrs davis

Claire said...

Yes Mark or Mary. I think it was Mary who has been posting today because I don't know about Mark telling about the new dress with the strawberry print.

We were all so busy today, that I didn't get a chance to see Emma other than the back of her going down the hall at about 2:00! My class loves to talk! Actually, Thanksgiving comes before Christmas!;)
