Spagetti Dinner & Raffle & I WON!

I WON! Last night my school had a fundraiser, a spagetti feed and raffle of baskets, so I went. It was important that I go because I am a teacher at the school and they like it when we go to these events. We they had lots of baskets with different themes, as you can see from the picture the theme of this basket was game night. It was very exciting, because there were lots of really cool baskets themes. I bought some twenty dollars worth of tickets and got twenty four tickets. They had a wii, and an American Girl doll so I put the majority of my tickets in to those two baskets. I also put in for about eight other baskets, and this was one of them. It had Backgammon, Dominoes, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Memory, and some candy and pop corn. All very exciting! The really funny thing is that the crowd was really a small turn out and I thought my chances of getting the doll or the wii were very high but sadly no doll or wii, the doll when to another teacher at the school and the wii went to a young boy!

Soccer Ball 4 Hershey Boy

This donkey is Hershey, and he likes to play with toys especially balls. Here he is trying to impress Daisy with his new toy that Isabelle gave me to give him. Daisy of course could care less because she was busy eating the fresh green grasses out in the pasture.

Still trying to get her attention!

He decided to come over and show me his new toy.

Sewing Project ~ TV remote control holder!

Today I made a TV Remote control holder for my bed. Have you ever been fustrated because you are watching tv in bed and you drop the remote off the bed on to the floor. Time after time I have done this and I am actually amazed that my remote even works after owning this tv set for 10 years now. So today I grabbed some extra fabric that I had and made a little mock up for my project. It took some fabric, some more fabric, and a little velcro. My working sample is pictured here but it will not be the final project. I used white thread which is a no no, also didn't finish off the edges. But the cool thing is it WORKS.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

"I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life!"

Here is President Reagan in Sacramento the day before he was reelected on November 6, 1984, at a rally on the west steps of the State Capitol! The school's wouldn't allow the student or even better the school bands to leave school and play for the president. Lovely little petty dictators at the schools. We showed them, we skipped school and went to see the President! That was one of my first lessons about how teachers and schools administrators have enfluence over there students.

This is a close up of the same event. Had to wait in line outside for a couple of hours to be funneled into the event, but it was worth it. The media had the country thinking that Reagan didn't have a chance, it in the end it was a blowout in Reagan's favor. Nobody can even remember who ran against him!

This is President Reagan toasting Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Here is President Reagan ride with the Queen of England!

I wish America was in good hands like were once were under President Reagan, you knew without question that he wanted the best for you and this great country and would defend it at all costs.
