It's never easy to say goodbye. It's especially no fun when you have to do it 4 times. Even if they're just departing to the other side of town; to another state; to another country; or even to a beautiful place up above.
Because I can

Departure
It's never easy to say goodbye. It's especially no fun when you have to do it 4 times. Even if they're just departing to the other side of town; to another state; to another country; or even to a beautiful place up above.

Mum
This one got me smiling
Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term test.
The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk,' worth
70 points or none at all.
One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages.
He wrote:
1.) It is perfect formula for the child.
2.) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3.) It is always the right temperature.
4.) It is inexpensive.
5.) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6.) It is always available as needed.
And then, the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before
the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote..
7.) It comes in 2 attractive re-usable containers.
He got an A+

Butterfly Insights
by: Joie Lake, Source Unknown
A marvelous lesson appeared for me just now as I was exiting thru the garage, to come to this little playplace they call an office. As I opened the garage door, I startled a large moth, which, upon spreading it's wings, displayed a bright red "tail" hidden by the motley brown wings, more a "butterfly" than a moth. It flew immediately to its perceived escape, the circle-topped window where it frantically tried to exit thru the invisible wall of closed glass. I raised the third-car garage door in hopes of aiding it's escape. That caused it to fly higher and higher and become entangled in a spider web. Fearful that it would remain entangled in the web, I selected a long-handled broom to assist him escaping the tangled threads. At this, he returned to furiously pumping his wings and banging into the glass, which was, in his perspective, the pathway of escape, but remained his cage. By simply turning his focus to one side, he would have easily exited his prison. Rather, due to his intent on one direction, he remained confined, captive. |

Bright & Lake Catani
I haven't been on a camping trip in years. Memories from the last camping trip I had still remains fresh though. It was the Prefect camp back in 2004 during Form 2. Back then, we slept in classrooms after rearranging the tables and chairs with ceiling fans mirrored in front of us as we slept on the cold concrete floor. My seniors said that we all had to sleep with our tops off that night or risk getting our nipples twisted in our sleep. We did as we were instructed, and ended up talking about our feelings that night.Good times.
