The Garden School Tattler

Yesterday - day one of summer - was a marvelous day!  We always wonder who will and who won't show up. Yesterday, the whole crew showed up with some ill and vacation exceptions. We have a very very full house! We enrolled several new children yesterday and it was great. It should be a very stimulating summer.

On staff this summer will be our usual crew with the addition of Mandy Dickman who is Miss Kelly's sister. Mandy has worked for us before, and she's a great lady. She's a licensed teacher and an asset to our school - that's right - she's the little donkey -- asset, get it?

Miss Anne will start next week. She's officially graduated from College and is looking forward to graduate school.

Miss Molly will be covering our "Little Guy" program at school on Wednesdays. For those who can't handle two days of swimming either because they are too young or too  "disorganized in behavioral standards" will stay at school.

Our biggest problem so far this summer with 50 kids is going to be food, so bear with me and all the food columns. Just cooking enough is a challenge.

Well, as they say, onward and upward. That sounds like dying...

Here's a funny for the end of the week that Mayli's step-mom sent:

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

8. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention! It never fails.)

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

25. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat.

26. If you had to identify, in 1 word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, & never will achieve,its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

27. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

36. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

37. Your friends love you anyway.

38. Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Have a splendid day!
