Hello, my snow cones!
How are you? Wisconsin
winter is back. The snow is good for the
drought. What I really dislike is the
subzero stuff. We haven’t had too much
of that this year and I’m not complaining.
Please, please be very careful walking and driving in this stuff. If you
don’t have to go out, don’t. Hip hip
hooray for the plow drivers who remove the snow from our streets and
roads.
Señor Zanza bought us a snow blower for Christmas. It’s a big one with knobby tires. Junior loves it. He couldn’t wait to go out and use it. He has kept our sidewalk and driveway
spotless. I told him about some elderly
and/or disabled people in the neighborhood who probably could use help in snow
removal. I thought it would be
beneficial for Junior, too, to do some volunteer work for those less able than
him. Imagine my surprise when I recently
learned that he’s been charging those people $20 an hour to remove snow. Oh my.
His father wasn’t around much, but sometimes Junior acts just like him.
I also discovered that Junior calls Señor Zanza “Señor
Xanax” behind his back because of his cool and calm nature. Oh dear.
When I asked what he calls me, he mumbled something. “What?” I demanded. Junior said that “some” of his friends refer
to me as a psychotic, rather than a psychic.
Childish, harmless name calling, that’s all. Who will care this morning when “some” of
Junior’s friends wake up quacking like ducks?
Tee hee.
I read that Mr. Ex-Mayor Becker has been released from
prison and placed in Racine County. Oh my.
The circus continues.
I’ve also been reading Racine Exposed [http://racineexposed.wordpress.com/]
and Racine in Ruins [http://racineinruins.wordpress.com/]. Triple oh my, oh my, oh my! If I read too much of those, I get
depressed. Our local leaders actively
work against us.
Here, instead, is an inspiring story to uplift your heart:
That’s absolutely beautiful.
Thank you, dears, for stopping by to read my blog. All readers are welcome: regular, irregular,
and illiterate. I love you all. You make my day.

Again, be careful out there, my dears. In less than a month,
it’s spring. Keep a watchful eye out for signs of the season. We all need encouragement. Bedizen!

I remember having to shovel the snow when we had a blizzard when I was younger. I have also been plowed out of my driveway, that was really fun at night time. Now I live in an apartment so I don't have to shovel and it is really nice.
I hope Junior doesn't charge people that can not really afford it. When I was younger I would go and shovel for our neighbors for free.
I must admit, I have a hidden childish humor. I giggled a bit over the name association. I guess it bodes well in understanding (and often forgiving) the students I serve. I do admire those like Senor Xanax, for their calm and cool demeanor. I strive for that everyday when chaos abounds.
We always shoveled both neighbors houses on each side when we were children. We never asked for anything in return. Sometimes we'd get cookies or a dollar afterward, but it was never the reason for doing it. Times are different. We really live in a "me" generation, which seems to get incrementally more about "me" every day.
The story of the basketball game Is "Priceless" Thank You.
The basketball game was true sportsmanship.
All were winners.
The basketball video brought a tear to my eye. Thanks, Mme. Z.
Note to self. When Madame says is a sweet video, make a note to watch later. Not right after applying mascara.
Thanks Madame.
Oh dear,
sorry for the smear.
basketball game...most excellent video
Charge the people that can afford it tho, JR!
You need to survive in this world and learn to be independant
That video was something.... A tearjerker for sure.
