“Caffeinated Thanks” This is final exam week for me and things are a little chaotic because of school being cancelled on Monday due to the ice storm. We are having to squeeze Monday’s exams somewhere into the rest of the week. The good news is that the deadline for submitting grades has been extended two days. That gives me a little room to breathe. I had two exams today; the first was at 9am. This class is small, only 10…
“12-13 Ice Storm” One more photo comemmorating the early December ice storm that has caused complete chaos with this semester’s final exam schedule! Yet, it is so beautiful when you look at it from this perspective rather than on the roads.
“His Puzzler Was Sore”
“Peace” Peace should always be at the center. I also had some fun playing with quotes on this one.
“FB Profile Pic” This little elf wanted a new Facebook profile picture. He figures he’ll be meeting many new friends over the next few weeks. Earlier in the day I took the picture below. At 10 am this morning, after 28 hours without power and temperatures in the high teens, the twinkling on the power company truck was much more exciting than Christmas lights! And besides, we don’t have any Christmas lights up yet! After warming up a little, I…
“This Is Not A Wrap!” This is my Christmas wrapping paper. This is my Christmas wrapping paper not wrapping anything. This is my Christmas wrapping paper not wrapping anything because I have nothing to wrap. This is my Christmas wrapping paper not wrapping anything because I have nothing to wrap because I haven’t done any shopping yet. I haven’t done any shopping yet because I didn’t know what to shop for. I didn’t know what to shop for because no…
“Hats On!” I have the honor of mentoring, through our school district, a little sixth grade girl. Despite the requirement of “standardized dress” in blue, white and khaki, this child always has a touch of hot pink somewhere – shoes, hair bow, backpack, something. It only seems fitting to make her a hot pink hat. I think she’ll approve of the purple accents; it is her “second favorite color.”
“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” I’m sure it is cold outside where this guy was, but here it was nearly seventy degrees today. Needless to say there certainly wasn’t anything frozen outside. That may change this weekend, however. We’ll see…the weather forecasters have not been very accurate predicting winter weather so far this season. With no freezing temperatures, the first alternative that came to mind was a frozen margarita. The problem here is that margaritas are not my favorite drink and…
‘World Aids Day 2013″ Cathedral of Hope – Dallas, TX A very dear friend of mine was singing as part of a service of remembrance and gratitude on this, World Aids Day. It has been a long time since I have been to a service that was so moving, one where God’s presence was so big and so warm and so loving. This is kind of a sad statement from someone who attends church regularly. Every part of this service…
“A Swing and A Smile” I have so enjoyed my Thanksgiving break! As is usually the case with me, I have not accomplished everything that I had hoped over this long weekend, but I have enjoyed it and have no regrets about the things left undone. And, I have not stepped foot in a retail establishment of any kind…not even the grocery store. We won’t talk about online purchases. After going out to breakfast with Weber this morning, I went…
