Six words, one sentence, a memoir.
I was looking at Youtube for the learning 2.0 blog I am creating at work and ran across this video.
Go here to see some responses to the video, then you try it. Send me the comments - your life six words right now. This could be interesting.
I'm headed up to Mt. Pleasant this week-end to appraise the state tournament maybe, I'll ask some of the kids for their response.
I had a long day yesterday ( Saturday) I appraised High School and Middle School teams from 7:30 AM to 5:45 PM. then stayed for the awards ceremony. Springport's structure team is going on to Global Finals in Knoxville, TN in May.
My six words: hmmm. Yesterday: Long day, awesome solutions, feeling proud.
Today: Great weather, Dirty house outside or in?

Catching Up.
Boy, It has been a month since I have posted. Where does, the time go?
I've had a lot of things going on at work.
The end of March I went to a Public Library Association conference in Minneapolis. I got there and had an afternoon off before the conference really started. So a friend and I took a bus tour of the cities.
There is a lot of art around the city, some peanuts sculpture, I didn't realize Charles Schultz was from Minneapolis, unfortuneatley the bus didn't stop so I could get any picutures of that. I was thinking that I did get a picture of the Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) statue, but apparently I didn't because it is not on my camera.
We did visit the Mall of America (Yipee, shopping is one of my least favorite things to do) It is 4 levels of stores, with an aquarium and an amusement park. Most of it is the same stores, you can find at any mall, just more of them all in one place.
We, the Jackson District library employees, have had a rough couple of weeks. The parents of two employees died, not totally unexpected, but still sad, then the death of an employee (worked at the library for about 20 years) - totally unexpected - only 58 years old. She was a work and she wasn't feeling well, (actually hadn't felt well for a couple of weeks, had a bleeding ulcer, diabetes and had a heart attack a few years ago) at the end of the day she told another employee she was going to the hospital, where she died during the night. All three funerals were the same day. Then on Thursday another former long time employee died, she retired a couple of years ago after working at the library for 37 years.
Last week I got out cut some old plants out of the flower beds. Now we
can see the daffodil plants. I trimmed the rose plants, I think I may have to replace them all, it doesn't look like there is any green on them, but we'll have to wait and see.
Charlie finally got his pond dug several weeks ago, he is hoping this will help keep water out of the barn, now he has to put in some drainage tile. Spread out the extra soil and he's planning on building a waterfall at one end.
For those of you keeping track we heard the frogs for the first time a couple of weeks ago (March 3o) and had heard them everyday since. according to dad and ed, we need to have two cold snaps or freezes before Spring is really here. It is cold and raining here today but we can still hear the frogs.
Oh, did anybody else see the giant human sling shot thing Charlie saw on Bill Engval's Country Fried Home Videos the other night. I missed it but, if you did too, or if you want to see it again check out Youtube. Anybody want to try it at the next family reunion????
