How many times can one discuss the incredibly beautiful weather that we have been having here in Missouri??? Probably not enough....because it certainly cannot hold on for very long: either it will get much cooler, OR, it will become much hotter. UGH for each one of those options.
Well, once again....all toooo soon....another tragedy has befallen the Fredericktown School District: Today one of the History teachers in the high school as well as an Asst. Football coach was killed in a motorcycle accident!!!! WOW.......just cannot seem to move forward this past week without taking several steps backwards.......I certainly feel sorry for the many kids and faculty members who knew him as a teacher and friend.....this HAS been a very rough week for everyone!
The Middle School......more pictures came online this afternoon, but I will not post any as they all look about the same.....just total devastation inside the entire building. WOW!!!! That MUST have been a very hot fire!!! It was announced today, I believe, that on this coming Monday, all students from the Middle School will now report to the Calvary Temple Church east of town where there classes will be held until further notice.......at least through the remainder of this school year. Still no word on the two juveniles that are being held in a dentention facility for juveniles in Farmington, MO, just up the highway about 15 minutes.
This morning I went over our tax return with the 1st Lady......and then we signed off on it.....why not, with the great refunds we are getting??!!!
And.......early this morning I had Skype call from our great friends, Doug and Diane, who live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We had just a super chat......even though Doug is suffering from a cold that he can't shake.....hmmmm, I certainly know the feeling!!! We also discussed our upcoming trip to visit them next month.........
We have made our reservations, as I mentioned a few days ago.....and we are getting excited about the trip. Only six weeks from tomorrow morning we fly to Edmonton for our visit and combined trip with them over to British Columbia where they have a condo. Can't wait!!!!
The 1st Lady left this afternoon to spend until next Wednesday with her mother up in Monroe City. She needs to help her with some inside "chores" that her mom wants done, as well as taking her to at least one doctor's appointment. Sooooooo, it is very quiet here in the sticknbrick, and I definitely plan to get some ready done!!!
OH....don't think I mentioned that m Christmas present from the 1st Lady arrived yesterday.......just ordered it on Saturday. My Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphone arrived and WOW..WOW...WOW, they are incredible!!!! You can hear nothing outside the headphones on your ears....virtually no sounds at all creep in to disturb the listening of music or, whatever. And.....they are meant for using, also, on flights where the engines roar often overcomes the music. These are the BEST headphones I have ever owned.....and, certainly the most expensive. THANK GOODNESS, it was a Christmas present....as I doubt I would have been allowed to purchase them otherwise.....hahaa!!! IF you are looking for some great headphones for music listening, be it for the iPod, iPhone, computer, etc.......please give these a try!!!!
A good day........albeit an exception for the death of the hs teacher.......but, as always......
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
