Here’s your did you know for the day:

Poinsettias are native to Mexico. They were introduced to the US in the 1700’s (?) by Joel Poinsett, the US ambassador to Mexico. They were also named for him.

LOL

Good morning, GG.

Thanks for the info on poinsettias.
It wouldn't seem like Christmas without them.

Hope you are having a better day weatherwise today.
We still have dense fog and are on a 2 hour bus delay.
We will probably take Marissa to school about 9:30.
School starts at 9:00 but kids riding buses will not get there until 10:00.
Yesterday buses were cancelled so classes were very small.

Have a great FRiday and a Wonderful Weekend.
