• My Monday

  For a few seconds I didn’t think we would get our walk in. I got up and didn’t want to physically leave the bed. I had to take my pill though, so I forced myself to take it. Then went back to bed for a couple minutes more. Somehow I found the strength to get…

• Residual Musical Thoughts

  If you remember I had a lot on my mind a couple of days ago, Sunday morning. Music is my peaceful place and emotions can easily overflow. This is a photo my Uncle Tony made for me a long time ago. It is a sparrow. The photo was asked for specifically because of how the…

• Christmas Tunes By Kids & Teachers

  Today is the first time in too many years since I watched my niece in a School Program. It’s been at least 3 years. Work was the excuse last year, but lack of coordination and communication around the supposed parents is to blame otherwise. I am trying to be nice about it too. This was…

• Nostalgia & Christmas Music: Ms. Becky

  There are songs that stick in your memory. For some reason I had always thought of this song as a somewhat sad-sounding sound for Christmas. Of course it comes from the Peanuts cartoon. Becky had a lot of titles at church. Not to mention owning the Dairy Queen with her husband in their town. She…

• Summer School With A Twist Back in the Classroom

  My concussion is gradually getting better. I was fortunate back in 2005 to have one migraine the day after and that was the end of it for me. On Friday I made it back to class and didn’t miss another day in the classroom. There was a final paper for this course and Mr. Gee…

• Family Inspiration

  Words cannot begin to express the excitement of decorating with these specific objects. The history in these books of various topics mesmerizes me. I’m baffled that some of these books were always within arms reach for me most of my life. Yet now as an adult I can truly appreciate the content and it’s worth.…
