Cannot blame the teachers for it, they just have to do what is asked and follow "the method"and above all they have no time. Large shortage of teachers!<br />I didn;t hear of real shortage of meds in ER and hospitals, but lately there was at the news there will soon be a shortage of a special medicin for people with trouble of their thyroid. There are alternatives but they can cause nasty side effects. shortage caused by a fabric, that moves over to Germany and apparantly didn't think of making a stock before closing here. It could take about 6 months at the least to start producing again. <br />Hmmm, let's not get too depressed by all this kind of news and also look at some brighter side of life( is there????? LOL) yes, weather is staying rather good, still nice temperatures, okay, bit too much wind, sometimes bit of rain, but in all I an happy.<br />I might go out for a while and later today perhaps give Jan a haircut.<br />Have a lovely day.<br />Hug<br />Kyra<br />P.S. I LOVE that grounddog Phil!smiekeltjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375937338027468675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836896508271015450.post-22959431325365728452016-02-02T10:01:09.913-05:002016-02-02T10:01:09.913-05:00Hi Edna and Master Pogo,
Things are good here on...Hi Edna and Master Pogo,<br /><br /> Things are good here on this end. I do think that I caught my baby grandson's little cold so I am keeping the box of Kleenex close by. <br /><br /> I have trouble getting some of my medications because the pharmacy runs out and has to re-order but it is very sad and scary that the Hospitals are running out of life saving medications. This is the way of the world. The cost of everything goes up and we pay for it one way or another. <br /><br /> I did get all of the words to the puzzle. I try to keep my brain alive and in working order by doing as many little puzzles every day and lately I have been playing Cross Stitch World on Facebook. Then I might switch over and do a card game or a jigsaw puzzle...<br /><br /> Oh I have been listening to my music... Thank you so much. It has been so relaxing! Some of my favorites. Elvis has a special place in my heart so I really enjoy my music time. <br /><br /> Yes unfortunately it is true that the schools are trying to stop cursive writing. They are more than willing to teach a child to use a key board instead. Why? Well my guess is that it takes less time than to actually sit a child down and teach them cursive writing. Instead they push the keyboarding and try and justify it as that the kids are "Familiar" with the keyboards and letters. <br /><br /> It is cooler here today. 55 this morning and tonight it is supposed to get chilly. Cisco doesn't mind it tho because he burrows under all of the cover and of course he uses me as a heating source. <br /> I am glad that you and Pogo enjoyed your scrap page. The kit that I used was from Salt Town except for the alphabet. I used Grammy's Lily for the alpha. <br /><br /> I am going to post my pages to the websites today. I wanted to make sure that I did the masks right before I uploaded them. <br /> Guess it is time for some more coffee. Then I need to head over to my blog sometime today and update it. News is in really short supply here. You and Pogo have a wonderful day. Love Beth and Cisco!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152429411570034442noreply@blogger.com
