We don't have school today. School isn't canceled because of Memorial Day, either. It is canceled because of the Fisherman's Breakfast. This morning I had a phone interview with a person from John Hopkins University. It is about a program we are using effectively at our school. I had to explain why we were out. Explaining the breakfast was even more odd than explaining Potato Harvest. It made me laugh. (Do I think the harvest break is a sound educational decision? No. But, the break is nice.) There is joy in the little chuckles, or inquisitive sighs, of the explanation.  I love the little traditions of our town.

They are a great source of joy. Now I eagerly await her text saying she has made it home.
