August 25, 2006 - Arapahoe
How many hours will we be busy today? Twelve? OK, we're ready for that!
Paul finally found enough tomatoes to curb his cravings. He is still high from his tomato overload. We must find a way to help him curb his addiction to large, juicy, red, ripe tomatoes freshly picked from the vine after being slowly ripened in the sun while being caressed by gentle breezes and watered by gentle showers in the early morning so dew drops slide silently over the glorious curves of the crimson . . . . STOP IT! Instead of us curing Paul it seems to be affecting the rest of us, too! What's that all about?
We're back behind the wheels of our cars by 8 a.m. to travel to Arapahoe to spend the morning at the school. Students of all heights inspected the cars from every angle. Aerocar 2 make a couple of runs and the breeze felt good on such a hot day. We heard several blasts from the Star Chief Patrol and Weego joined us and laid on the horns a few times to keep everyone's attention.
Anne was back to her tom-foolery by taking advantage of the kindgergarden students by giving them an eraser in trade for grass and weeds. Actually, Anne didn't realize that the younger grades would not know about the concept of trading, swapping or bartering. It gave us a chance to teach the students something new by explaining that she was willing to give them things that she didn't want if they gave her things that they didn't want. Of course we had to work with what was available so she told them to grab anything they could find like sticks, rocks, and weeds. When done she had a toy dump truck full of grass and they had nice, new erasers for their pencils.

Another school lunch and again we were amazed at how school lunches have changed over the years. We again shared stories about how we didn't get food like in school (AKA: We again revealed how old we were.) This is the second school lunch and the second time that we found a salad bar and several choices on the menu. Kudos to the schools for their progressive attitude toward balanced nutrition.
