I have heard of dyslexia of course, but this is the first time I have heard of math dyslexia. Apparently this condition makes for a very hard time in math. One Florida teacher is finding that he may not be allowed to teach since he can’t pass a required basic math skills test due to […]
It was a little exhilarating to get back to the children’s drama this weekend. We had been off for over a month, partly due to Easter. So this weekend we were back with a vengeance, err- three of us were. I guess the other two were still on spring break or something. Fortunately the head
I really can’t say much about this telescope. Most of my memories of that night were trying to look again and again at the orange-red dot that was centered in the telescopes field of view. I was 5 or 6 years old. My sisters were bigger than me at that time. Why bring this up

As promised here are a few of the pictures from the Toledo Zoo. Just click on them for a larger image. It took me longer than I thought since I had to transfer the pictures one at a time (about 60 pictures!) from the phone memory to the card memory, so I could then take

WHEW! I didn’t mean to take a weeklong blog hiatus, but due to the kids being on spring break, that’s what happened! We were SO busy, I haven’t really been in front of my computer… I hope this isn’t what summer break is going to be like! It was fun and all, but SO busy! During the
It’s maple syrup time in our area. While we don’t have the size and number of stands (sugar shacks) as Vermont, we have a few. Our local groups (family run businesses) have an annual pancake and sausage breakfast (with real maple syrup, of course). Today was that day. My family (daughters, grandparents, son-in-law, boyfriend, other
It is so funny how a simple fun evening with a group of friends can inspire thoughts to re-emerge in your head. I have gotten almost totally out of touch with Star Trek. Tonight, I was reminded that Academy Award winning actress Whoopi Goldberg was indeed a member of the cast of Star Trek: The
