With the arrival of September this year comes the tenth anniversary of the 2001 September 11th event in New York City. I am certain there are many who lost loved ones on that awful day who are still healing and many children who lost parents who still grieve. As we as a nation commemorate that event it is important that we also remember that those who caused that happening still desire and plan to create more havoc and tragedy in our country....if they get the chance. So sad.
At our house this is the third fall since I turned five(years old) that I have not gone to school. I suppose I should be sad but.......
I did go to the coast and work with my sister in a middle school media center for the first two days of school. Most school teachers are aware that assistant principals in the state of NC have as their assigned duties the three B's --- buses, books and butts. However, in that school system textbooks have been assigned to media specialists / librarians. Since her cardiologist has limited the amount of weight she can lift (for now) I helped her with some of the "textbook issue duty."
Starting school was interrupted by the passing of Miss Hurricane Irene. We were all glad to tell her goodnight and send her up the coast. She dumped a tremendous amount of water. The fact that she hit some areas at high tide and the storm surge in other areas created a large amount of flooding and destruction from water. It was interesting that we had an earthquake followed by a hurricane within the same week.
Perhaps September will do us all a favor and bring nice temperatures ( after a hot, hot summer) and days that we can enjoy and work restoring our burned lawns.
