News reel:

A newsreel was a form of short documentary film prevalent in the first half of the century. It was a source of news, current affairs and entertainment for millions (not that millions are viewing my blog). Newsreels are now considered significant historical documents.

Mr. T or Mrs. T

During the month of April Tate's preschool started a class room garden and also had some baby chicks so the kids could learn all about them.  They had three chicks and at the end of their learning block about gardens and baby animals they raffled them off.  I didn't think Tate's odds of winning one were that great so I was not concerned at all.  After all there were 24 kids in his class and only three baby chicks.  Luck must be on that kids side, he won a baby chick.  Luckly my parents were here for a day and were able to take it with them back to AZ and drop it off at the Sexy Ranch (that is what grumpa norris calls their place out in the tumbleweeds, I think he started calling it that to try and excite Brianne about moving all the way out in BFE).  We were unsure if it was a boy or a girl so we dubbed it Mr. or Mrs. T.  We took pictures so Tate could compare them with the next time he saw his baby chick.  We were under the impression that it was an egg laying chick but I asked his teacher to confirm and she asked the lady that actually bought them because she thought it was an egg laying chick but was unsure of the breed.  However, it turned out to be a meat chick so Tate probably wont get many chances to compare its growth to these pictures.
