May 15, 2002: Copied some more into my new journal. Went to music program at school of Anna's class -- in p.m. that was three rooms of first graders!!! The theme was bedtime songs and lullabies. Mary took me. Book Club in the evening.
May 16, 2002: Copied some more in my new journal. I called Myrtle -- didn't look at the calendar -- it wasn't my turn!!! Tom here for supper. He attended to the laundry. I showered and then we played Rummikub. My neighbors from across the hall came back from Arizona the first part of the week. They had been there since October.
May 17, 2002: Finished copying from old journal. Listened to tapes most of the day. Mitch and Anna here in evening. We watched TV -- they conked out quite early.
I guess having taught in a one-room schoolhouse and then at a small (in comparison) school system such as Winside's, that three rooms of first graders was worthy of three exclamation points. It somewhat reminds me of some college acquaintances that were floored that I knew our county sheriffs by their first names. There are many bigger city v. small town stories that are a bit humorous.
On the present-day front, the radishes are sprouting! Given our weird spring and late garden start, this news, too, is worthy of extra punctuation!
Leroy, our sheriff right now, applied for county commissioner. The one that Kelvin lost by recall.

I assume it is the same Leroy as when I was in school. The other one at the time was . . . I'll have to get back to you on that one. I want to say Curly, but not sure.
