A sunny cloudless day. Chelsea and I had a really nice walk. We went through the park and she really liked that.

We usually shop in the morning but Dick had such an awful night that he just went to bed for a while. So, I vacuumed the downstairs den and worked on several projects that are in need of finishing.

When he woke up we decided to just move the -breakfast then shopping - to lunch then shopping. We drove to Sheboygan Falls to the Parkview for lunch. We had bacon cheeseburgers and I got a gift certificate for the Parkview for Mother to give to a friend that has been so very good to her.

Then we drove back to Plymouth and did our grocery shopping. Everybody there was surprised to see us there so late. Isn't it nice to be noticed.

I had a dentist appointment to seal the teeth that have been hurting when cold hits them. Now they ache because he had to do some gum work to DO the coating. I will have to be careful and rinse with salt water until it heals. It is weird that now it aches all the time. I guess things have to get worse to get better.

We had creamed egg on toast for dinner. Num Num. We DO love that. One of the advantages of Easter is a lot of hard boiled eggs.

Tomorrow we will not have to go anywhere. The first time this week that we do not have one errand.

Have a good day.

Love
Mary


LIPSTICK IN SCHOOL - PRICELESS

According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI was recently faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the wash room. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back.

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. He called all the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, he asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY..

There are teachers, and then there are Educators
