Today's post is dedicated to those
who live in Texas especially
Houston.
So much has been said about this
storm and devastation caused.
I am sure that EVERYONE knows
someone in Texas, so let's say extra
prayers, donate money, supplies,
your time or whatever you are able.
These people have a long way to go
before their lives are back to what
they call "normal."
~~~~~~~~
We will be back to regular programming
on Monday. See you then!

Good Morning, I have time now to finally
get Part Two posted.
The main reason that wanted to go to the
Ag Hall was to see this exhibit.
These tags describe the exhibit plus they
had books to look at too!
"Working Aprons."
More detailed ones with needlework and
embroidery on them, the one on the top
right was made from a dish towel.
Lighter weight - Spring aprons.
Gingham checked ones.
"Company aprons."
"Holiday aprons."
More "working aprons."
Of course, we can't leave out "The
Pitmasters."
This gives you an idea of how many
displays they had.
It was great fun looking at all of these
aprons. Many good memories floated
through my head as I looked at these
displays.
All of the women in my life--
my Mom, Grandmas and Mr. Ken's
Mom wore aprons at some time in their
lives. Mr. Ken's Mom was still wearing
them in the 90's. I have my own aprons,
I don't wear them much but do have
them if I need them.
Mr. Ken's Dad gave me my Mother-in-
law's apron which I cherish.
Here is bits and pieces of what this
card says.
"Aprons are more than Kitch. They
symbols of family and motherhood.
The word "Apron" comes from the
French "naperon" a small tablecloth
or napkin, suggesting they have been
worn for centuries to keep from
spilling on ourselves."
Most of these aprons are handcrafted
one-of-a kind aprons.

the whole piece.
What are your memories? Do you
wear an apron? Cooking, crafting
or gardening?
See you tomorrow!!

Hello Everyone!
Well, Monday is a BIG DAY! I am
sure that you have heard that there
is going to be a total eclipse today.
The last one was on June 8, 1918.
Of course, not everyone will see a
total eclipse, some will see a partial
eclipse and some will not see anything.
Where are you in the path?
We are right there in the
100 % area. Should be
interesting for sure!
Our school district provided
appropriate eyewear for
students and staff. So we will
be prepared and Mr. Ken got
his glasses from our friend.
They are the right kind too.
The eclipse will begin here
around 11:41 and be at it's
peak at 1:08 then finish around
2:45 ish.
Our kids will observe from inside
due to the fact that most will not
leave their glasses on and we as
staff will rotate outside to view
the happenings. The rest of the
building will go outside with
their grade levels and watch the
happenings.
This has become a BIG event
all over the metropolitan area.
Some schools are closed, there
are watch parties and a lot of
kids will be absent tomorrow
to be with their families. Many
have traveled from all over to
see the eclipse.
Can't wait to see what takes
place. If I get pics, I'll post them.
I believe NASA will have some-
thing on their website for those
who can't see it in their area.
Be safe if you are in the viewing
area!
See you Wednesday!!
