Mardi Gras Nerts postponed

Hello everyone,

Due to Kelly's dizziness (moreso than usual ;-)) - the Dr thinks she has a virus. She has been bedridden for quite some time this week, and is down at the hospital this morning (Saturday) for precautionary measure.

So...

Mardi Gras Nerts will be postponed.

We' re not sure yet when - we need to look at the calendar. A Valentine's Nerts sounds like a fun idea, but we will check and see our other commitments, and opportunities.

Let us know if you Blog readers (are those called bloggers, or Blog peepers, or blogettes? Hmm, we have to come up with such a word, but I digress) have a preference.

Mardi Gras Nerts coming!

Hello everyone,

Mardi Gras Nerts is coming This Saturday - wow where did the time go?

Saturday, we start our pot luck at 5 with the world famous Ramirez Italian poor boys, and various other foods. Drinks provided also.

The Nertsing starts at 6. We will again have an adult (over 18) and youth division trophies.

The last round will end when the bell tolls 9 pm CST.

Please RSVP to kelly@ramirezuniversity.com or call old fashioned phone at 217-794-3743

We look forward to seeing you there!

Merry Christmas - not sure what 403 means

Hello everyone,


I hope you are all preparing for a Merry Christmas. At Ramirez University, we hunted down our tree amongst the snow and weather during Elyse's birthday yesterday, and had a great time. Lights are next, and then the ornaments.

If you signed up for email alerts, I'm not sure what the 403 error means.

Fruit & seed class observations

Hello everyone,

here is the place to put the observations on the agar / corn seeds, and the bean germinating experiments.

I have the labs you turned in graded. I did forget that Mrs. Ramirez is on retreat this week, and will not be at Coop, so Natalie will have your graded reports.

Bio Lab - hybridization discussion

Hello everyone,
the picture is of a model of the dihybrid cross we discussed in lab class. It is a cross of our famous green tall plants. :-)

Homework is the cross for this, and the next section - get volunteers for the activity. - tongue rolling and hair line, etc.

post if you have questions, or answers. :-)

Bio Lab hybridization discussion

Here is where our Biology Lab 201 class will hold our discussion and observations as the class members who are growing the seeds can tell us what they find.

Post your observations in the comments section. If you have a picture, I think you can upload that in the comments as well.

Thank you.

Monarchs make a pit stop at Ramirez University for education

Blogging is new to us, so be patient, please. :-)

Last night as we were heading home from our PE class - swimming at the YMCA, I had to stop for gas (well, I did not have to, but the car would have only a few miles left ;-)) and stopped at the station in Maroa, and sent the athletes to walk home.

Then as they did, Mary brushed against our silver Maple tree in our front yard, and came across this amazing site!

Kelly counted 60 in one section. This picture shows Therese and Kelly looking from the porch.

Anyone is willing to stop by. We're not sure how long Tom Bodett has left the Monarch light on for these wonderfully graceful insects, but I imagine as they migrate to Mexico, they do get tired, so there may be more travelers. We tried to be hospitable.
