Hi Victoria. How are you doing? Classes going well?
Yes, I started Spanish last week. How about you?
Classes are going well. I'm really enjoying the tax class.
Are you teaching as well?
Yes, I'm just teaching and working on my dissertation now. I'm finished with my coursework.
I should be going to bed now. I got a new emoticon, (actually, I got lots of them) LOL...
Nighty night. C ya tomorrow.
Good night. Pleasant dreams.
My Prayers are Up for Kitty Mittens, tuliptree.
Jack.
Back in the days without a/c in any schools, we registered the week before Labor Day and began the Tuesday after.
We had off only National Holidays (+ the Friday after Thanksgiving) - the week for Christmas/NewYear's - but NEVER a Spring Break.
The objective was to graduate/let out the last week of May/first week of June before the heat hit.
Now, with a/c, they begin earlier to allow for more Teacher Days - Spring Break - make up for Bad Weather Days, etc.
The really nice thing is the weekend before school starts, both states give different "Tax Free" whole weekends on all clothing, shoes, school and paper goods, computer stuff; all bedding, towels (primarily for college students) etc. for EVERYONE.
I can take advantage of both (just 45 miles from Augusta, GA) to stock up on copier paper for my printer, pens, and clothes.
Note;
Back in the Deep South in my mother's day, school did not begin the first of September, allowing all possible hands, children included, to pick the ripe cotton into that month...my, how times change, with modernized monster machines to pick it!
Actually, cotton crops have been *greatly* reduced with so many processing mills/fabric mills shut down, cheaper to raise and process overseas.
Most of those old cotton fields have been converted to raising soy beans, and farmers profit more.
( Sigh...I do miss the fall spent fields with all the little missed cotton bolls, some strewn along the roadside - ever so gleeful "escapees" from the cart-to-the-mill..:))
She is such a dear and precious daughter of the Lord, and is a daughter of my heart...all here know her steaadfast devotion, and caring and praying for others.
Father God, hold her in Your hands....Amen.
The dern Letter Thief has been rampaging again, and stole my other 'l' ..:))
APB: one
God bless you. Good news.
This is a wonderful message, Mayor..Thank you.
