Lorraine Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 My mother always remembered these anniversaries. She was already married with children when the events happened, and she would often tell me what it was like living through those years. One time she showed me the ration book she had saved. The war ended before she could use up the rest of her coupons, so she saved it. 5

Lorraine Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 It's National Eagle Day! Aren't you glad you got up this morning? 2
goose Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) It's National Eagle Day! Aren't you glad you got up this morning?Eagles! My alma mater EWU are the Eagles! Also, I was teaching probability this week and used on old Mexican peso coin instead of a quarter. One side has the eagle with a serpent in its mouth. We say "heads or tails?", and they say "eagle or sun?", or, in Spanish, "¿águila o sol?". Life in the math lane. Edited June 21, 2019 by goose 3
