It Happened Yesterday
Tuesday May 14, 2024
I went to Danny’s last choir concert. So did Frank, Lue, Tari, Ron and Fran. Danny had two solo’s, a Nirvana song and the other was the last song Johnny Cash ever recorded, not long before he died, entitled Hurt. Danny did really well! Shortly before the program ended, Danny was presented with the National School Choral Award.

Before Rick went down to spend some Mother’s Day time with Twila, he stopped in for some left-overs for lunch. Frank, Lue, and Danny came too. Danny stayed after the others left and we watched some baseball then the 76rs, Boston Celtics game. The Celtics won in a game #7 matchup.
220 Years Ago Today
May 14, 1804: One year after the United States doubled its territory with the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition leaves St. Louis, Missouri, on a mission to explore the Northwest from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.

Verse of the Day

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
