My Friday mornings this spring are filled by attending Jane Scarborough’s class about the U.S. Constitution. It is based on a book by author Jill LePore named ‘These Truths’. Jane has been obviously shaken by actions taken by actions taken by the Supreme Court to gut the Voting Rights Bill of 1965 and the Virginia State Supreme Court invalidating an election by the people. Day by day, our voting rights are being stripped away and it is depressing. But depression is not what we need. Each of us needs to take action. After today’s class, I went to lunch with two classmates, Karen Baranowski and Jane Woodin. We were supposed to talk about the big idea take-aways from today’s class, but that was just too depressing. So, we spent most of time catching up on life. We’ll get back to big ideas next week!
Today was the last day of classes of this school year for Coco and Ziggy. Jo sent me a description of the festivities, along with some photos. Coco will be moving to up to high school next year and Ziggy will be a senior. There was a big celebration for both. Coco will have an actual graduation ceremony next week and Ziggy still has one exam day to go. But no more classes until August. Both grandkids looked mighty happy about that!
