Spring Weather
Today it was 67 degrees outside. No one was even wearing their coats. Oh, yeah, that is the book that all the kids are addicted to and has their teacher reading.
Mount Vernon by Candlelight
On Tuesday, some of the faculty went to Mount Vernon for a presentation about George Washington and then a tour of the house by candlelight. The speaker was wonderful but the rest was so so. It was a function just for teachers in the area and there was a waiting list, so I guess I should be thankful that I just got in. However, after the speaker there was wine and finger foods available. You would think teachers never got any food by the all out war there was around the two circle tables. People pushing and shoving like you never saw before. Viva at one point was like, "Ladies, really!" when some women reached over her just to get at a new platter on the table. It was awful. The tour of the house was alright, except that it was the same tour but this time in candlelight....fake candlelight to be exact. I thought we were going to see something extra special. I guess you can't win them all.
