Good morning.....
Sam and I have been sitting out on the back porch this morning, enjoying a nice cup of hot coffee. As we were listening to "The Gaither's" music, the air around us felt so nice. But then....the Sun began to rise and not only was it Bright outside, but we could feel the heat as it began to set in.
Today's expected temps are going to reach a 100 with a heat index of 107. Our plans for today are to stay indoors and Peel Pears!! All those pears that we picked a couple of weeks ago have been in the refrigerator (out in the garage) and it is now time to get them peeled.
I'll be making Pear Relish with them, but for now, we are going to freeze the peeled pears and I will finish them in a couple of weeks.
Other News:
My daughter's completed their first week of "Back to school." Trista is a High School Counselor......Shanda is a Dyslexia Specialist at a Christian Private School. This is their 26th year in Education.
Some really big changes have been adapted in the school system this year!!!
In Texas......Kids can no longer use their cell phones in school..... Nor, can they wear Apple watches during the day.
Their phones must be turned off and in their backpacks. I'm guessing that there are going to be some irritable kiddos for a few weeks... yikes!!

I't's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day!
This is about it for this Saturday morning...
Enjoy your day and stay Cool...

It's hot here today too! Hitting 95 with high humidity and we are off to a friends cottage. Fun, but warm!
ReplyDeleteGood plan to split up the work on the pears - part now, part later... :)
I think the plan for no phones or Apple watches is a good one, but I bet the kids won't agree.
26 years in education is seriously amazing, Shug! I've never felt led, but sure empathize with those often under-appreciated) educators. Like Mari said, I'll bet the kids won't be happy to lose their electronic leashes; I'm curious, however, if the school has a Resource officer and/or emergency plans in place should an unfortunate "incident" occur. (God forbid!)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those pears!
Stay cool and enjoy! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThere are moves afoot in UK to banish iPHones from classrooms. Again, the pupils won't like it but it's a sensible move to make.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a nice morning. We just came inside as I could feel the warm air and drinking hot coffee only made me hotter. We’re looking at 108 today. I’m staying home but my husband who is half- lizard will be going out in it with his daughter this afternoon. Have a beautiful day with your hubby.
ReplyDeleteGood for Texas forbidding cell phones in school!!! We found out that our grands will be attending a school where phones aren't allowed, either, and I'm beyond thrilled to know that. Such a distraction for kids and teachers, too. Stay cool and have a super time with those pears, Shug!
