Thank God, my cleaning's done

Last evening I spent the whole evening cleaning because I thought Anthony and Lori were coming here this evening. She and some of her Penn State students are holding a health fair at the Boys and Girls Club in Lancaster tomorrow afternoon. However, Anthony called this afternoon and said they won't be able to come until tomorrow morning. I'm so glad I didn't know that last evening, or I still wouldn't have my house cleaned!!

This evening we had a pasta dinner fund raiser at school. The entertainment was a ventriloquist, Ryan Baumgartner. His show is really, really funny. He gets information about people before the show and then includes that in very humorous ways in the show. He also gets people from the audience to come up and interact with the dummy. He was the entertainment at Dick's work banquet last spring. I actually think I enjoyed it more that time, because this evening Destiny was really a pain. She was way too tired to behave well, she wanted to be playing with her friends, she was fussing that she was hungry (she was too distracted to eat much of her pasta dinner when we first got there this evening), at one point she bumped her face on a table and she way over reacted. She just ate up all the pity the 3rd grade girls were giving her. Oh well, such is life with a five-year-old, praise God. I saw a number of former students there this evening and had good talks with them. I declare, sometime I am going to have an alumnae choir that actually practices and then performs several songs. It would be absolutely awesome.

The weather today was absolutely balmy - in fact my classroom was hot with the windows open this afternoon! Now wasn't it just a few days ago that I was fussing about extremely cold wind? What is up with our weather??? Before we left to go to the pasta dinner I was sitting here at the computer and looked out the window. The sunset was breath-takingly beautiful. The picture below doesn't do it justice. I always think of the verse, "The heavens declare the glory of God." How very, very true!
