Memorial Day Weekend

Had the school year gone as originally planned, my grades would have been turned in and students would be finished with school. Yes, we still would have had a teacher work day on Tuesday, but the "work" part would be mostly over. As it ended up, we have students Tuesday and the work day is Wednesday. I'm taking a break now from working on grading poetry projects.

But I know I shouldn't whine. This weekend isn't about whining. This weekend is about remembering brave soldiers who gave their lives and honoring them. Had it not been for their sacrifices, we would not be enjoying the freedoms of barbeques, parades, and three-day weekends. Their choices make our choices possible.

I think I'll send a few cards to past and present soldiers, thanking them for their service.

May God continue to bless the U.S.A.!
