I took a few pictures of the flowers behind the lattice on our deck. The yard side has a beautiful red honeysuckle in bloom and the back has a Rangoon Creeper, which is full of blooms. When these little lovelies open, they're white, turn pink, and then red. You can see one of our bougainvillea and a red rose at the bottom of the frame on the left. The close-up on the right shows the different colors of the Rangoon Creeper blossoms. Within a few days, the back will be awash with blooms!
Wednesday the assistant principal, Mark Lansing, and I took six students to a bowling alley for two games and lunch. A parent bought this for $400 at the school auction in March. So we took four 5th graders, a 3rd grader, and a 2nd grader out. During school, which made it better yet! We put the bumpers up so the games would be more interesting for young arms. Mark is a good bowler - had games of 173 & 200. He was a good influence on me - I bowled better than I ever had, with games of 145 & 173! Woohoo! The kids were great and we had lots of fun. Sorry, no picture of me bowling. The only picture of me is one that Duke, the 2nd grader, took of my backside. Definitely not blog material. And there you have it -- blood, blossoms, and bowling -- all in one week!
