Got me thinking

Every day, Jeni and I talk to our students about a current event topic.  We find where that place is on the map, figure out which continent it's on, and so forth.  The kids love it!  While I was cruising the internet this morning looking for more articles, I came across this one. 

Interesting......because many of those exact same thoughts went through my mind three years ago.

I remember mentioning to my dad as we left the hospital after I was given my iodine-131 that nobody knew I was radioactive.  I felt normal, I looked normal, but a radiation detector might not have thought I was normal!  It was a little weird walking past all these people who had no idea I was actually radioactive!!

And here they are talking about it again.  I'll be interested to see if anything changes regarding the way this treatment is done or if it will remain status quo.  Hmm....something to think about.  In fact, I wonder if I've ever walked past a radioactive person before.

Barn

Barns are notorious for having mice in them and since we don't have a cat, it seems like this could become a problem now that we have a barn.  However, I think we may have found the solution.  Look what just showed up....
Cute little fellow, and he seems like he would be good at keeping the rodent population in check!!

Speaking of the barn, I haven't put any new pictures up for a while.  Although the progress is slow, there IS progress going on. It's all framed up, garage doors are in, most of the roof is sheeted, and now the dormers are being build.  Coming along!
