Bethany made it through the Relay for Life. She just didn't make it through the overnight camping! TJ went to the fairgrounds with Steven becuz Steven had to run his part at 1 in the morning! They no sooner got home when the phone rang and it was Bethany. TJ and Steven drove back out to the fairgrounds and picked her and her stuff up and brought her home. It was pretty cold that night!
The garage sale didn't go as well as I wanted. We did not sell the cooktop and oven. I had to put them on Craig's List. Haven't gotten too many inquiries, yet.
Hope I do soon!
TJ is going to get a lesson in 'politics' up close and personal. Next Wednesday he and I are boarding a charter bus and heading into Columbus to the Ohio State House for a rally. I belong to a group called MySchoolMyChoice and they are hosting a large rally of parents and students from charter schools and online education. Governor Strickland is cutting the education dollars to those types of schools so drastically that it will put a lot of them out of business. None of it makes sense becuz if the students can't go to a charter school or an online school then they will HAVE to go to the public schools and it will cost the state just as much. It is just a ploy by the Teacher's Union to get bodies back into the public schools. Teachers from private charters and online schools do not have to belong to the State Teachers Union. The Union wants more students in the public schools so that the public schools will need more teachers...and that means more union dollars. The unions run the government.
Okay...enough of my soapbox. It just aggravates me. Can you tell?
Troy has been in Indiana most of the week. Friday night is TJ's first church softball game...maybe. If the weather cooperates. Friday morning he is going to help (and so am I) unload the truck from Second Harvest that provides canned food for our church food pantry. Troy is supposed to be the one doing it but...he's not here. However, Saturday morning, Troy is going to be over in the church kitchen helping to make lunch for us women for Mother's Day. Even though it is a Mother's Day luncheon, the daughters are allowed to go so Bethany is going with me.
I must go. My across the road neighbor, Becky, is coming over soon. I think this is the first time I've ever had 'coffee' with a neighbor. She just seemed so excited about it. I don't think she gets out much when she isn't working.
