I too remember May Day. We celebrated in elemertary school but not in the upper grades.
When the earthquake/sunami (not spelled right) hit Tieland (that does not look spelled right either) 5 years or so ago I heard on TV that the earth was shifted on the axses by less than a half inch, so I would think that would change our weather patterns. And the one in Japan should have caused the same kind of thing, don't you think? I have not heard any more on the axses thing so my thinking could be way off. Take care.

I was just telling my granddaughter about the maypole. When I was in first or second grade our school had may day festival. The sixth graders got to dance around the maypole.
I so looked forward to when I was in the sixth grade.........moved at of second grade and never did get to dance around the maypole.
By the way, my granddaughter said "what is a maypole?"

And we hung paper baskets with flowers in them (we made them in school) on door knobs, rang the bell and hid.

Yes, I remember the Maypole. You were in the Houston schools about the same time I was. Your picture reminded me so much of some of mine, similar hairdo.

I was a kid in NYC and May Day was only known as a day that celebrated Communism, no May poles for us.
