Hi. We saw the news today about the volcano. Are you and your family ok?
Yes, thank you! We live on Oahu and the volcanoes are actually on the Big Island called Hawaii. (Itās confusing bc there is an island called Hawaii and yet the entire chain of islands is called Hawaii too.) Itās pretty devastating what is going on over there š But, here on Oahu, we are just getting the VOG (volcanic ash which makes like a foggy effect.) Messes with you like allergies š¤§š· š
I remember being in Guatemala City in 2010 and there was this fine, black powder all over the the grassy areas. The people living there were like, “Oh yeah, we just had a volcano erupt. That’s the ash.” It was kind of creepy thinking how we just missed it.
Wow! That would be creepy! My dad said he remembers when Mount Saint Helens erupted and he would go out and help cleanup the ash!
Well we are glad you are all ok. It looked like something out of a movie on the television. Will be praying for everybody affected.
Definitely scary! I grew up worried about tornadoes In Nebraska šŖ. Hawaiian volcanos š are totally something I didnāt imagine I would ever have to worry about! Thank you for your prayers!
We just have rain in Ireland šš
Oh, wow! Do you have flooding then? Or, no risk of natural disasters? Sheesh? I thought Hawaii was paradise-sounds like it might be Ireland! š
you are so right! People don’t realize how hard it is to be a good teacher. I volunteer every chance I get to help with my kids classes. ( my older two wont let me anymore) I am so exhausted by the time I get home it’s as if I ran a marathon. I get offended for teachers when I hear people say ” they just babysit” . This is so not true! Great post!
Thank you! I agree-volunteering in the classroom definitely is eye opening! You get a real feel for what goes on in the classroom! And, it doesnāt stop at home! My sister is āteachingā even in the summer bc she is always planning. She even FaceTimed her class from the top of Kokohead when she came to visit me in Hawaii! She sincerely loves each one of her students!
There are some really great teachers out there! It sounds like your sister is one of them. But I have to admit I’ve come across a few that weren’t very great. š
There are some bad apples out there too. But, I think the good ones donāt get recognized enough for how much they do!
I agree! š
Thanks for sharing!
Those are cute!
Thank you š Cute and practical!
