Today, I went to our local grocery store to pick up a few things. My husband offered but I have not been out of the house since last Saturday! I told him that I felt I really needed to go as I was getting a little “loopy” from being housebound. I have been on several…
Many of my friends and family have been cleaning out during the extra time spent at home now. I have not done too much of that since I left my job in early October and had some time to do closet cleaning and such well before now. Surely, some spaces could be cleaned out again…
Today, March 15th, 2020, I am celebrating the posting of my 1,000th blog! There are several celebratory activities planned, the first of which is a photo giveaway! This is particularly apropos due to the fact it is a Sunday and Sundays have been dedicated to posting photos only, with the exception of the photo’s caption….
Many (not all) of my teacher friends feel they are not creative. I am sure they are mistaken. It takes creativity to run a classroom, fill the minds of our youth, and make learning worthwhile.

It was high on our (my) list of places to visit while staying in this history-filled Southwestern American city.

I have a fellow blogger “friend” who I “met” through the Slice of Life Blog Challenge some years ago. We periodically go through cycles of reading and commenting on each other’s posts. I can tell she is a dedicated educator, fully invested in her students, and for that reason, I continue to follow her and…

Today is Poetry Friday. I decided to write about Santa Fe, New Mexico as that is where my husband and I just went on vacation. My posted poems are never fine-tuned, so I hope you find it acceptable. But, along that vein, I think that it might be interesting to pull my poetry posts (not…
