Principals & Parfaits

Hello, dear friends.  I know I said that I wouldn't be back until next week, but I ended up being more organized than I thought so I decided to link up with Terri for Wednesday Medley.


1.  Ahhh... May Day!!  Happy May!  Did you celebrate this when you were a child by dancing around a Maypole or leaving flowers on someone's porch?

I've done a few rounds around the maypole in my time.



Will you be celebrating a special occasion in May?

No special occasions, but I do have some travel in my future.

And we are expecting some visitors. 

(There are so many other things being celebrated today that I

think we need to give them some attention, too!)

2.  National Mother Goose Day was founded in 1987.  Can you name a nursery rhyme that would fit your life as it was in 1987?  If you are a youngster and not yet born in 1987, you may pass, of course, but do you have a favorite nursery rhyme?  HERE is a list of nursery rhymes.

Born by 1987?

I don't think so.

3.  National Chocolate Parfait Day is also honored on this day. Parfait means perfect in French. Tell us about an ideal day, in your mind, and would/could it end with a chocolate parfait?

My perfect day would always include this trio.

And I would even give each of them a bite of my parfait.

I repeat one bite.

4.  National School Principal's Day was founded to celebrate these school administrators who support and guide quality teachers and staff to provide productive learning environments for our children.  Did you have a good Principal when you were in school? Do you remember his/her name?

Mother Nancy Salisbury was my principal during high school.  
She was very nice and well liked.

It was Sr. Sheehan, the head of the Senior School, that was the thorn in my side.  She always seemed to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and catch me red-handed doing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing.

5. And perhaps the most important one is Silver Star Service Banner Day which honors the sacrifices of the combat wounded, ill, and dying service members from all branches of the military.  Do you have family members who have served this country in uniform? Tell us about them, if you will.

My Dad served in WWII in the Army Air Corp. as Staff Sargent.

  During that time, he became friendly with Glenn Miller and he asked my Dad to manage his band as they toured the troops. When my Dad asked for permission from his superior, he was given a stern no.

A few years later, Glenn Miller lost his life in a plane crash.

  

6.  It's Hump Day! How is your week going so far?

My week was going great and now that I found out that it's National Parfait Day, it's gotten even better.

Does anybody know how many WW points are in a parfait?

Are you in need of some Mother's Day gift ideas?

Just finished listening to this one.  
This is such a fun read.  
I found myself smiling all the way through.

You don't have to be a foodie to love this one.  
It's a great memoir with luscious recipes included.
I am loving it.

If you enjoyed Big Little Lies, you're going to love this one.
It's keeping me guessing.

Until next time...
