Cinco De Mayo

The classes I've been subbing for this past week have either had messed up lesson plans or students off task. The spring weather is more normal now but the early warmth has caused problems for the cherries, grapes, apples and pears causing much damage to the fruit crop. I read Sanctuary by Falkner,The Bomb Party by Graham Greene and Miss Lonely Hearts by Nathaniel West during exams at Cooley this spring. Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of my brother John and 38th for my dad's passing. I went to 2 concerts at LCC last week and they were both very good. One was the Jazz Band and the other the Lansing Concert Band, both playing music not usually heard. I've mowed the grass 4 times and the average temperature for April was less than March's. Jane is still having pain in her jaw and is back on medication while she now has to send proof of job inquiries for her unemployment.  Freedom is worth protecting and to cherish it is to know it's value and need with the responsibility required.
