Okay, now that my horrible, horrible speech class is over I can finally get a post done! I really didn’t think that college would take up so much of my time but it’s too late now!
I’ve got three A’s under my belt and heading into biology! Last night I just glanced through the book and had to put it down. The pictures were pretty gruesome but I’d taken anatomy years ago, so c’mon birds and the bees, bring it on.
Danny and I are weathering the chilly weather here in Florida and anxiously waiting for tomorrow which should be the start of a week filled with sun and warmer temps. I have felt so bad for the people in the country getting hammered again and again with subzero temps, ice and snow! Now they know why southerners say “y’all come back now!”
So, the speech class is done and better weather is coming, so there’s been a lot of clapping going on. But, I am a Grandma, first and foremost so I must bring up the fact that my grandaughter, Elizabeth and her friend Camilla have, oh, how should I say this?
THEY ROCKED THE FLORIDA REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR! Oh yeah, they are going on to the State Science Fair and they are only in eighth grade!
The two traveled with Camilla’s family this summer and collected data in Costa Rica to compare with data collected in the U. S. I’m not sure what the project is about since I haven’t been able to see it yet (but I will). I know they put a lot of hard work into their project and I’m so proud, well, even Cranky has a big old grin on her face.
So, while I try to think of something to write about, I’d just like to present the 2014 FIRST PRIZE winners of the Florida Regional Science Fair. (Did I mention I’m proud?)
(Clue: Elizabeth has blond hair!)
So, let’s put our hands together and give them a round of applause!
I’ll be back soon!
Cranky
Absolutely, sound of clapping for both of you. Woo-hoo, Mary Ellen, Elizabeth and Camilla.
I am so proud of her! Both girls aimed to make it to state and they did! Thanks for the applause!
Happy for you. What about your speech? What did you have to speak on?
My first speech was on writing and the second speech was on Homeless Veterans here in the U.S. I got good marks but I’m glad I’m a writer not a public speaker!
AWESOME, Something to be proud of for sure. Congrats!!
Thanks…she won a scholarship to a technical school also but she has loftier dreams..she’s talking about West Point. She’s a gifted musician and wants to be in their band.
Congrats all around, on the A classes and the great science fair accomplishments!!
Thanks so much!
Great news tfrom beginning to end and of course your Grand-daughter took after you 🙂 a big congratulations all around here! Enjoy your warm weather and go whip-ass that biology!
I’ll try! Thanks on behalf of my granddaughter! I’d like to say she got her smarts from me…:)
Well, I think she must have gotten some of those smarts from you…you certainly are a smart cookie! 😉
I’m one of the people you spoke of getting hammered with sub-zero temps, ice, & snow. I think my bones are now 40% ice.
Man, I feeel your pain. I’m originally from New Hampshire and believe me, I still remember what that’s like! Hang in there, spring will come!
I usually like the cold, but this is a bit much. I will definitely jump into the flowers with bells on. 😀
