Dine

As part of a project, I have a turn with this table and chair. They are minuscule and it was hard to come up with something creative! After several attempts that turned into a big, fat FAIL, I saw the old dictionary on the bookshelf. This dictionary was my mother's when she was in high school and I've had them since I was in the 4th grade.

A dictionary represents who I am as I love to read and I'm an educator.

Now, the table and chairs will be on their merry little way to Rebecca in Virginia.

Thanks to Machel Spence for letting me be a part of this project! It was fun!

A busy weekend... A lot of travel... A late arrival home

Happy visits... Happy to be back home...

Peachtree Something

Sunday's picture....

We headed over to Atlanta from Athens so that we could see the youngest son's girlfriend at her university. It was a great trip down memory lane as her university is near where I used to live 20 years ago.

I do not, I repeat, do NOT miss the traffic in Atlanta.

Unexpected

Saturday's picture....

While in Athens, GA, we spent the day shopping in junk shops. We found a fantastic TV table for cheap ~ then, the paint cost more than we spent on the table. We painted the table and it is perfect for the oldest girl's room.

Also, while in one junk shop, we found a video that was something about the "Psycho Social Ramifications of Dealing with Genital Herpes." My step-daughter had to have it so that she could play a joke on her roommates. It was the best fifty cents we spent over the weekend.

Gifts

Friday's picture...

A happy family is a gift. We drove to Athens for the weekend to visit my husband's girls. I'm a lucky girl to have step-daughters who are so nice and accepting. We spent the evening hanging out together downtown.

The best part about spring, summer, and fall is coming home while the sun is still shining.

Life is in the details

Though there are a few details I'd like to forget from today.

Today, we had a student announce to the lunchroom that he was STILL constipated. He gave some graphic details that might deter me from ever eating lunch again.

If I could patent it, I might be on to the next great diet plan!
