Eclipse and sad news

We watched the eclipse. Hank would not look even with the glasses on because he didn't want to go blind. Tried to get pictures but they really didn't turn out.
Have heard nothing about the house for almost 2 weeks. And then we were just waiting for the appraiser. I am not surprised, really, the mortgage people and agent seem to communicate. I think by now the agent would have called if he hadn't heard anything since repairs need to be made after appraisal and before closing. And if the appraisal didn't get done they would have to change the closing date. I will probably email tom.
Lots of places were opening later because of the eclipse.
And then Spooky died. She seemed ok this am but sadly she left us. I still need to tell Callie but she is
working and would be way too upset so I will wait til I pick her up tonight.

On Sunday the priest said Lent is not about giving up something but about getting back on track and getting to where you want to go. And so, this is the perfect challenge for me. FYI, I have failed multiple times already. 40 days is just way to long to be good.

In the news

 I heard a news story about a school that was not allowing students to participate in year end activities if all their fees had not been paid. This is not an unusual stance, I've heard it before. It is not right that the children are punished for something they have no control over and the fees still won't be paid/ But, what struck me the most is a parent who said 'this is just showing them that if they don't have money they don't get things'. Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
