Building the Ark
I walked into our local post office to mail out some bills. Everyone was talking about the rain, it is really the talk of the town. I said nonchalantly, " I am building an ark in my backyard." , well the gentleman behind me said really???, I wasn't meaning literally, just figuratively. I tried to explain that I was merely stating that there is a lot of water...but the damage was done. I stopped trying to explain as it felt like an old Laurel and Hardy skit, 'Who's on First' joke. This El Nino year has caused quite a bit of havoc in these neck of the woods. It's hard to believe that I live in the south, as its been unusually cold. I keep hearing about global warming, our pollution causing holes in our ozone. Is it possible the earth has changed its tilt a one hundredth or one thousandth of a degree. This would explain much more??? Who am I just a lowly housewife, mom, and teacher.
Life as a home school mom is never dull. I learn sometimes right along with the boys. I had no idea that Haiti and Dominican Republic became known as Hispaniola. They had to identify and label countries on a map. They had to label North and South America, Hispaniola, Cuba, Central America. Well, I didn't need a key to check most of them, but for the life of me, I could not understand where Hispaniola was all that came to me was perhaps they changed the name of Puerto Rico.
Let's think...hmmm..when I was in school there was an East and West Germany. So, much has changed in the global world.
Life moves on in this town.
