It was just us, and I didn't feel well all day, so we were lucky we had that, really. <br /><br />Back when we used to be able to have company (as in, before John got to be such a pain) I warned guests that we were having an experiment for dinner. I mean, who better to try out a new recipe on than company?<br /><br />Speaking of berries, I think that I am going to give up on the current batch of strawberry plants, and get some more. They should have at least a couple of green leaves, but they are just as brown as when I planted them. I seem to be having better luck with the tomatoes. They are trying to take over the front porch. <br /><br />We have had some excitement down here over an old school building. The old South Park High School (now a middle shcool) was built about 90 years ago. Several years ago the shcool board got a bond passed for improvements,and several older buildings were going to be rebuilt, one of them being South Park. Then the hisorical society filed an injunction, claiming that the district said it was going to refurbish, not tear down South Park. After over a year of suit and countersuit, a judge ruled that they could tear it down. They started demolition on Friday, and oh the outpouring of anger and temper tantrums. <br /><br />The funny thing is, most of the ones all up in arms about it are people who don't even live in this area of town anymore, and their kids don't go to school there, either. Most of the people who's kids do go to school there are happy to see a new building go up. My daughter goes to school at the current campus, which consists of portable classrooms at the moment. <br /><br />I can see both sides of the story. Yes, it was a 90 year old building with a lot of history (the university my husband works at started there in the 1930's). On the other hand, it was a 90 year old three story building built at a time when handicapped kids got sent off to institutions, not public school. <br /><br />Glad you had an good holiday, <br /><br />RosemaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
