I forgot to mention something in my New York Trip Diary, but it’s just a little thing – no need to make an entire volume of it. I was just going to talk about how much my husband and I enjoyed seeing the Empire State Building. We didn’t go up into it, but we passed […]

My youngest is on her way to a show choir competition. That in itself is enough to make a parent worry a bit. She will be spending this evening on a bus, and arrive at the destination tomorrow afternoon. That is also enough to make a parent worry. But she is heading south and east

My cousin and her small family moved to Alaska last November. Alaska?! Who goes to Alaska! (HEHE… small inside joke). Char’s husband was stationed there after his training in the U.S. Army. In March, Rich was deployed to Afghanistan but he is allowed to communicate via phone or computer from time to time. He will

Last weekend I picked up a job in hometown district for first grade. In fact, it was the school nearest my home. Later, a job in supersized district appears for a resource teacher (they call it by a different name, but that’s what the job is- for those students who need the extra boost). It
My favorite team (the Detroit Tigers) are at the end of a West Coast road trip. After tonight’s (this morning’s) game they will head to Kansas City. I’m curious as to the start times used on the West Coast. In Seattle, the games started just after 9:00 PM our time. Most of the games were

The other day I got an email from my friend about an unusual request she had. I found the email quite amusing, so I’ll share it: Hi Lisa! I have a big favor to ask. Can I borrow Disney & Christopher for a photo? It’s a long story — My grandson Ben colored a “Flat

I am sitting here at the computer still a little shocked by the news I heard today. I really cannot believe that I will have a job again in June! Even though Goodwill is not going to be open to the public until late summer, I and my co-workers will be there to help get

The last time I wrote, I forgot about a big detail from Friday. I have been subbing for a few years now and I must either have been in elementary schools on this particular day, or in districts that don’t support it. The day I’m referring to is the day of silence. This is a

Make that 4 rats. We now have 4 pet rats. How did that happen, you ask? A bit of mistaken identity when they were picked out at the pet store resulted in rat babies? No, all 4 are male – I don’t think there’s any mistaking that. What happened is this… We got our two
