Memorial Day Art

Memorial Day is coming soon. Being from the South my grandparents always called it Yankee Memorial Day because there is a Confederate Memorial Day but I don't even know when that is! According to Google there wasn't a separate Confederate Day so maybe I'm not remembering things correctly or my grandfather was a little mixed up.
Even though we are supposed to be honoring those military personnel who gave their lives for us I still think of my father. He didn't die in battle but was a p.o.w. in World War II. He was in Stalag 17 which a movie and a play was based on. There were rumors that Hogans Heroes was a comedy based on Stalag 17 but those were not true.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Before I retired I loved it when the parents at my school brought in goodies to the workroom. Some of us specials would roam the three workrooms looking for the best treats! Then the parent group took over and got organized. They started bringing in the same dishes for each workroom. It quit being fun!
