modern fireplace. Perhaps the construction design of fireplaces should be revisited and investigated to provide people with the best design for delivering and not removing heat from one’s home.
Also accomplished this autumn was the sealing of the outside driveway that was newly redone five years earlier. Gravel contained in the blacktop was beginning to loosen so this sealing was necessary to prevent damages to the asphalt. The business hired, did not collect payment after the completion of the job, but rather sent a bill in the mail. This was a positive development because tradesmen, through my experiences, usually expect to be paid immediately following the completion of a job, through the course of a job, or sometimes even before the job was begun.
In May, one presented a catalog to daughter containing information on an excellent home school Kindergarten curriculum that I volunteered to teach to granddaughter. The curriculum offered an extensive and comprehensive number of books and other educational materials included for the child’s use listed as, four mathematics books, six reading books based on the phonics method, six religion books including a children’s Bible, two handwriting books, one science book and twenty nine science lessons on DVD’s, five art books, and two music CD’s. Although daughter liked the home school curriculum, she was concerned that granddaughter would become a loner and estranged from her peers so daughter decided to enroll granddaughter in the public school. Until June of 2012, granddaughter had only one immunization for Hepatitis B which was administered without permission granted by her parents, shortly after her birth. To prepare for public school requirements daughter consulted with granddaughter’s holistic oriented physician where special measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines were ordered that did not contain cells derived from aborted human beings. Granddaughter was vaccinated with this “three in one” immunization together with a polio vaccine in June. After beginning school and in September, a telephone call was received by a school official stating that granddaughter needed additional immunizations against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus otherwise she could not attend school. Daughter objected to immunizing granddaughter within just three months of receiving four vaccines. A school district official then contacted daughter’s job and spoke to her job supervisor about this circumstance but the supervisor remarked to daughter that granddaughter’s immunizations were not of his concern. Apparently after feeling further pressured, daughter had granddaughter immunized with the above vaccines. About a week after receiving these vaccines, granddaughter contracted the mumps. I was horrified and disgusted when one viewed granddaughter’s swollen neck. I spoke to a school official about this matter when one was told that this bout of mumps was not due to ten vaccines being administered too closely together but rather due to an unusual “wild” mumps strain. Through discussion and the examination of granddaughter’s school photograph, it became known to me that there were five boys and ten girls in her Kindergarten class. Questioning daughter on this gender anomaly I discovered that the other Kindergarten class in the school also contained five boys and ten girls. Thinking that perhaps this skewed two girls to one boy ratio was confined to this area, I decided not to give this odd circumstance not much further thought but stated to family that a normal gender distribution in a general classroom should be about an even number of boys and girls in any grade level. As school progressed, granddaughter informed me of a game played in school called “Poison Rope”. I asked her to explain this game to me when it was stated
