<font color="#ffffff">Hi again folks,<br>
<br>
Well, those of you with children going to school here at Wilburton
Public are probably breathing a sigh of relief this morning, since this
was their first day back. (Go Diggers!) Now the catastrophes can
begin! Our first catastrophe yesterday was the fact that my daughter
did not have a purse to start school with, and since she's in Jr. Hi,
she's at that age when they have to carry all manner of makeup, etc.
wherever they go. And it was not just that she didn't have <u>a purse</u>,
she didn't have <u>the perfect purse</u> that she'd spotted in a
downtown window for $$$, (more than I'd ever pay for a purse for
myself). I couldn't look at it and tell you why it was so perfect, but
evidently she saw something wonderful there. All I saw was that it had
a snakey looking handle, silver studs, and was made of camouflage
fabric, (the pattern known for blending in, you know?), which almost
guarantees that she won't be able to find it, much like most of the
rest of her things. The next and most basic catastrophe was that we
couldn't find her new school sneakers, and they're not even
camouflage. (See why I figure the purse will be lost next?) I was
convinced the shoes had run away from home, with or without her feet in
them. I finally found them for her where the box had flipped upside
down and fallen behind something and she swore that she owed me <u>big
time</u>, and loved me <u>so much!</u> We'll see what good it does
me. Wish us both luck surviving 8th grade. I know it was no picnic,
but if last year is any example, I think Jr. Hi was easier on me when I
went through it myself. <br>
<br>
Don't forget to make plans to go to the Bikes and Bands downtown
Saturday night. The Magic Wheels motorcycle group will be having their
parade of lights about dark Saturday evening, and then the bands will
get to start playing down by City Hall. Our own head of maintenance,
Rudy O'Donley and his group Sundown will be playing, as will Oversoul
and EOSC grad Kyle Williams. Check it out. <br>
