Ramblings
Tonight we went to a cocktail party. Doesn't sound like us? It isn't. It was a fundraiser for the democratic chairwoman in my county, hosted by the mayor and county auditor. Both are friends of ours so we felt we should go and bring a check. We stopped at the cash bar and splurged on two ginger ales and a big tip for the bartender. There were some delicious appetizers, including sauerkraut balls that rival my recipe!
He told me we were the only ones who interviewed him. Most parents and grandparents only looked at their students poster and took a picture. I loved interviewing all these famous people! I met a musician who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Annie Oakley, several Neil Armstrongs and John Glenns, even more Steph Currys and LaBron James, several Travis Kelces (I congratulated them on the engagement), Vera Ellen from White Christmas, the woman who has voiced Bart Simpson for thirty five years and is also Sabrina Carpenter's aunt, as well as many many gymnasts. The kids were so eager to share their facts and we stayed until the end of the fair to talk with as many as possible!
I was also going to ramble about the 15 1/2 hours I spent as a poll worker on Tuesday. But in retrospect I believe I will need a whole post to rehash that.
Tomorrow I am going on a road trip with my glass class friends. I think I was in on the original plan but now I can't remember what we are doing besides going out for lunch in a different city. But I am always ready to go out for lunch!
Saturday my youngest daughter and granddaughter and I are going to the tea restaurant for the monthly tea which is going to be extra special.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Those history fairs are so much fun! Your grandson is very handsome!
ReplyDeleteThe kids do such prep work for the fairs. A shame more people aren't actually interested in history -- or maybe they think they already know it, which for the most part, we know isn't actually true. Sounds like you have lots of fun things planned. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading about the History Fair and your grandson is quite the handsome young Edison! Enjoy your road trip and lunch Miss Merry 😋
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea someone at your grandson's school had! And he picked an interesting person to research and pretend to be.
ReplyDeleteLove that you are supporting local political leaders and working at the polls. Can't wait to read that post.
Your grandson makes an adorable Edison. That sounds like so much fun. I'd be interviewing some of them too!
ReplyDeleteSo busy, so much fun! You made those kids day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a WONDERFUL week this has been!!! That Famous Hometown Hero thing is fabulous, as is your little Electrogenius. I've always gone my way alone around a Science Fair, Art exhibit, etc., with proper respect and comments to the young artistes on their work---one Grandson is light-years ahead of my meager grasp of such dangerous, marvelous miracles. (And I once read that the Royal Family, when touring factories, shops, building sites---their fall-back question is to indicate a part, wheel, doohickey and ask "And what does THIS do, exactly." I remember those very words, and someday I'll find a use for them---I've heard and seen so much about Royal Duties and Working Royals, that I'm of a mind to take some tours and buy a few hats.
ReplyDeleteYour week sounds splendid, and I wish you wonderful days, splendid gatherings, lots of Love and a Wonderful Mothers' Day!!!
Cute ideas for the history fair. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Merry. I've missed a lot this week looking at my friends blog posts but decided that there is no way I can catch up on all of them so I'm just going with the most recent!
ReplyDeleteI loved your grandson as Thomas Edison. He's a real cutie patootie. :-) It would have been fun to go see all of the displays.
Today was a Mother's Day luncheon at a senior center here in town. It was so much fun with a great presentation by the Durham Historical Museum. It used to be the Union Pacific train station.
Enjoy your tea this weekend.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
You know how to make people feel important. Nostter whether they are children, friends, clients or coworkers. That is a real gift.
ReplyDeleteThat history fair sounded like so much fun and how very wonderful for the students! You have such an interesting, meaningful life, Miss Merry. Thank you for being a poll taker. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYou've had and have a lot on your plate, including some very fun things. I like the class project idea. That's kind of fun. Have a great tea time and Mothers Day and I'll look forward to hearing about election day!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your two big events...support for candidates and a fun time, then really support for the next generation learning about previous ones!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson did a fabulous job, bet the other children did also. Happy Mothers Day, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBest, Virginia
Hi dear Miss Merry, what a lovely post! Your grandson did an amazing job! Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI am not a mother, but I would like to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!
You've had and will have quite the busy itinerary! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event for the kids. Makes me wonder what Texas character I would have picked. Someone from the Alamo I'm sure.
