A Rare Occurrence

Yesterday was an odd day. It was cold out, but not terribly so. Despite that, around noon time we got a few show showers! Everyone was amazed. Granted, they only lasted about 5-10 minutes and it only happened a couple of times, but it was a sight to see.

Another rare sight was when I saw smoke coming out of the chimney when I got home at noon today. Dad started a fire for Mom. It's very cold and blustery today, but the sky is painfully bright & blue.

Last night was my last night class for the rest of the calendar year. WOO HOO! I turned those grades in this morning. However, I still have day class and online classes until December 18.

Not much else going on. The end of the semester means the students have kicked into overdrive and are scurrying around making various models and basically behaving like "chickens with their heads cut off". I keep telling them that if only they managed their time better they wouldn't be in such a rush. But then again, why listen to me??

Last night, Dad went to City Hall to receive an award for being an "Outstanding Citizen". Mom went but I couldn't go because it was my last night class. Fortunately, Jamie went in my place and sat with Mom. It's a very nice framed award along with a lapel pin.
