It’s been awhile. A few weeks anyways. The world looks a little different since I last checked in here. I lost a very dear man in my life. Someone who taught me to play basketball, taught me to drive and ate breakfast with my every Tuesday morning in the summer. My uncle was a great [...]

It’s Feeding Time…
I would be telling just a little bit of story if I said this actually happened. However….we have had squirrels suspiciously looking through the front window, even at odd hours. Nothing like opening the curtain at 4:30 in the morning to a wee little animal with a look of disgust on his face because the [...]

So Much Snow…
So we had a monster of a storm last week. No one really expected to be snowed in for a few days, least of all my two dogs. Penny, the small black poodle/terrier mix, is very scrappy. Snow is more of a challenge for her. She loves it. She runs through it with all her [...]

There’s No Business Like Show Business…..
On a Monday morning, a dreary, dark Monday morning, you really must put on a star-studded show to capture the attention of any one in adolescence. If you think about it, it really is quite amazing that a teenager is able to get up in the middle of the night, let’s face it, 7:00 am [...]

Somedays…
Are there days like this or what? Even though it is only 7:58 am, this day has already started out like this. I assign projects that every student must turn in at the end of every quarter. But it’s high interest projects AND if they don’t like any of mine [...]

The Weekend…
It’s the weekend. You thought the work week was bad. It just helps you get cranked for the weekend. Not having kids myself, I only know about this because I got a glimpse into this crazy world by accident last fall. Due to an illness in the family we were left [...]
