April feels like the ‘friendliest’ month to me. Maybe it’s the delicate buds on trees and multi-colored flowers that emerge, however late they may be this year. Easter, of course, is the highest of happy days for many people. Or it could be that, even on the east coast where I grew up, there’s next to no chance of freezing temperatures.
If you want a quick cheer up, our arts feature will give you a few ideas to enjoy the creativity of our mural artists around town, and it blends with all the themes this month that made me feel pretty good about things. I have always been kind of a generic space nerd, and I am still thinking about the two amazing men I got to meet who literally touched the moon, albeit in different ways.
Other happy stories include Laura Jones, who is as lovely as she is inspirational; helping “wise owls” combat isolation all over the county. I also hope our extended section on education in Georgetown gives you some food for thought ahead of the election in May. There are many perspectives and so much diversity of ideas; I’m pleased to note that regardless of where people stand on different topics, there is no question Georgetown is vigilant about making sure our children get everything they need and deserve.
While I usually include a photo of something fun that happened during the month’s writings, I decided to share the photo of Roslyn. Her mom says, at 18 months old, she discovered the Georgetown View and spent quite a bit of time “reading” through it. Mom Sheridan, snapped some photos and says Roslyn is already looking forward to the next issue. I hope she is excited to see herself.
