President Bush is out jogging one morning and notices Little Hannah on the street corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to Little Hannah and says, "What's in the box, little lady?"

Little Hannah says, "Kittens, they're brand new kittens."
Bush laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?"
"Republicans," says Little Hannah.

"Oh that's cute," he says and goes on his way.

A couple of days later, Bush is running with Colin Powell and he spies Little Hannah with her box just ahead.
Bush says to Colin, "You gotta check this out," and they both jog over to Little Hannah.
Bush says, "Look in the box Colin, isn't that cute? Look at those little kittens. Hey, kid, tell my friend Colin what kind of kittens they are."

Little Hannah replies, "They're Democrats."

"Whoa!" Bush exclaims in total surprise. "I came by here the other day and you told me they were Republicans. What's changed?"
"Well," Little Hannah explains, pointing into the box. "now, their eyes are open."
 

Hey all from Somers! We are putting together grades for the fourth quarter and getting ready for the end of the year. Hope all is well with everyone. 

People always ask me what it looks like in Somers. Here is a picture taken very close to our house showing the New York City drinking water supply. Row boats and fishing are allowed--and as you can see it is very quiet and peacefull here in Somers.
