Had a Great Time
Oh it was so good to go back to Holliston and visiting good friends. It's been so long. The Murphy family looked good and showed us such a great time.
"Thank you Jeanne, John and family!"
And here's the wonderful plant she grew from a cutting. See the adorable note she wrote for me on the side of the pot?!!? Hard to believe this late in the season, but it has it's first bud starting. Hope since I am keeping it indoors it continues to grow the bud into a flower.

Have You Ever
Have you ever thought of someone you haven't in years and suddenly think about them quite a little bit? Recently, ME TOO!

Please People Be More Careful
This was posted on FB by a friend of mine and is worth reposting...
Whenever you buy a 6-pack, please cut the rings. Whoever caused this probably wasn't aware so please spread the word. If everyone does something small, we can make our planet a better place.
Thanks to Marian Fisher, Carol Alban Flutist and Kelley MacDonald for being the original posters!

My daughter's Sea Floor
Done! What a memory builder! My husband and daughter went down to the culdasac to grab some sand in the pouring rain. They didn't get much but had such fun together!
The project turned out well. She's psyched to turn it in.

Another Day Of Tests
Well...........
Think I did almost as well on the lecture exam lab practical as I did last testing week.
The lecture exam started an hour before the actual class (that much material). Yikes! Not sure how early final exam will start!
The lab practical was really fun. The professor sets up stations with various models with flags on them. We go to each station and name (label) each flag on our answer sheet. Hilarious tripping over each other, waiting for the station, feeling the tension in the air, and watching the thinking.....
This time we covered and were tested on all the muscles, tissues, cartilage, brain, eye, ear, disorders and diseases relating to each of the mention (including seizures--that part wasn't fun reliving) and a lot of nerves and nervous system. Wow people, I am not studying to be a nurse! Last 3 weeks, spent lots of time in the college's library (WHAT?!!?) and studied lots of plastic body parts. Today we had 3 hours between tests so we grouped up with a few friends and CRAMMED some more!
Found out there are a lot of people doing a lot worst in these classes. Sadly, they are blaming the teacher. That's not particularly fair. She grades fairly and covers the material. She has GREAT stories and her tests are multiple choice (no grabbing the answer out of thin air and holy moly -- no spelling to remember!!!!!!!! I have enough trouble remembering how to spell "Seminiferous Tubules", forget during a test).
To be honest I AM LOVING EVERY MINUTE. I am so glad for this opportunity! Now that things are easier at home and I have a lot more free time it's a thrill to be learning again.
Well, thank you for stopping! Hope you check in sometime next week (when she might have the tests graded).
PS
Now off to make a paper mache version of the bottom of the sea for a class project.
