23 October 09
PE went well, even though there was rain. It was still fun. School went pretty well, also. The only hard part was that my daughter washed something she treasures, and that was sad. It is made of some paper. Also, we found out that the state of Maryland has an old state song for 1861 written by a man who did not like the North or Lincoln. That is the state song. But, the government of Marylanbd this year is trying to change that song. This YEAR!! That is an awfully long time after the Civil War. We were trying to find out on the web if the bill passed, but there was no information. So, I emailed their governor. Hopefully, he will let us know. That is the state we are studying this month. Look up Maryland, My Maryland. It is rather puzzling and astonishing the lyrics. I know why it was written. What I don't understand is how it can be that state's state song. Isn't a lot of government stuff going on there? How could this have been overlooked for so long?? Weird. Have a great day. |
