I pray that each of you have a blessed and SCRUMPTIOUS Thanksgiving.

Have some fun, stay safe, and sleep later than usual!!

P. S. Ask your son or daughter about the riddles we did in class today.

See if you can answer a few.

1. How many months of the year have 28 days?
2. If you don’t keep me, I’ll break. What am I?
3. Which word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
4. It belongs to you, but your friends use it more.  What is it?
5. Two fathers and two sons spent the day fishing, but only caught three fish.  This was enough for each of them to have one fish.  How is this possible?

A few of you have asked about the arrangements for my husband, Robert Daniel McGoldrick.

All information is at Horn-Nail-Haggard Funeral Home, Daingerfield, TX.

PLEASE make sure your son or daughter is charging their chrome book

at night.  I have at least half of each of my classes that bring “dead” chrome books to class.

There are only so many plugs in a classroom for them to plug it in.  Also, many times they do not

have their cord with them.

Thanks and have a GREAT weekend!
