quiet day for reflection...

Yes its true, there are many holidays for teachers and school workers, here in BELGIUM I am observing Wapenstilstand dag from 1918 Belgium, Armistice day France, Remembrance day in Canada, and Veterans' Day in the USA (11th hour-11th day-11th month) 11-11-11 It is a good day to be Peaceful and refute war.
