It was a bit of a bittersweet event for me, as it meant an early retirement from the classroom I’d come to love so much.It also meant that when I shared the news with our school’s principal, I was as apologetic as I was thrilled.Guilt, throb throb. That’s me.The principal, though, … [Read more...]

Feeling Social Saturday
Just because it’s been awhile.Here’s a totally random question, and I’m winging it at you from left field:What do you do when you’re feeling lonely?

Gang’s All Here
Or at least, they were when this photo was taken.My husband was setting up the tripod when I made a mad dash upstairs to change. “You can’t leave!” he hollered, but I was back in a flash minus the oversize t-shirt and baggy sweats. I am sadly lacking in humility, you see, though my lack of make-up should count for something.Anyway, my friend and … [Read more...]
