Dd sent me an email Wed eve...they found a rusted grenade on her school grounds!...an Earth Science class cleaning the grounds for "Earth day" found it...school went into "lock down"...authorities came...it was taken away and detonated..it was a "souvenir" grenade that had been altered...no clue as to who left it or why


couldn't wait for Spring, could we?  now we have BUGS and I am eaten alive..LOL....we were out putting down wood chips for a path


our DIRT is now being leveled and ready for seeding..the guys have been here 2 days..started at 6:40 am today!!


we'll be leaving in 2-3 hrs for dd's induction into a college /grad school honor society..then dinner at Olive Garden


yesterday was dgd's birthday..4 yrs old!..we went over for Cake and ice cream..party is next week..she got a "bouncing house" so cool....grandma wants to try it!


I took her Tues to get the new Cabbage patch doll she wanted..a "25th anniversary edition" that licks an ice cream cone..25 yrs ago dd got her first Cabbage Patch kid..remember the craze? and the shortage?


worked 3 days this week: Tues a 2hr "Spanish for Nurses " class, Wed a 2hr "Spanish for Educators" class and yesterday a day of subbing.."Home and Career skills"..we had time left over after the lesson plan that was left by the teacher..so I pulled out "Mad-libs"..fun, crowd control AND learn parts of speech! LOL


hope this finds you all well!


hugs

HI Dutch


How scary to find a somthing like that on school grounds. Thank heavens it didn't explode before the authorities got there and could take it away. Things like this makes me wonder about

Sheesh, that is the last thing you'd want to find
on school property! Glad it was taken away.

I sure remember that first Cabbage Patch craze!

well, I would like to think there was no ill intent...just some stupid person who wanted to explode something..it is a very rural area


funny that the Cabbage Patch kids live on!

well, they took the grenade and exploded it elsewhere...


this is a very rural area and there are a lot of hunters...not that they would use grenades! LOL...but there is more space and more of feeling of..I don't know...freedom to experiment?


I would like to think it was not intended to harm but it was some stupid person's experiment


the school is surrounded by woods


well, we have level dirt..still need topsoil and grass seed....


we had a nice evening with dd


you have a good weekend too!


hugs

well, it is always something...isn't it?!


lucky the grenade didn't explode..wonder how it came to be there


Bob says things happen in this school district that don't happen anywhere else!


we went to look at patio blocks today


those bugs were nasty! (if they were nice bugs I wouldn't complain? LOL)


the dirt has been leveled..now:topsoil and seeds!


also planning a housewarming at the end of May


enjoy what's left of the weekend
