A Penny For Your Thoughts

  Another fun and busy week.  Well, The Music Man started.  Doug is Mayor Shinn and Cassie is a townsperson.  Our friend April is the music director and our friend Myrna is in the orchestra.  The show is really, really good and it is so fun seeing my family perform and do things they love.       This was after church up at the farm.  There is such beauty in the simple things in life.   I now know where the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" came from.  You can not set anything down without the kittens having to check it out.  The crate is actually the dog's that was put on the deck to wash.  In no time they were napping in it.   And Clementine is our super model.....if you ask to take her picture, she backs up, sits down, and poses for you.  Crazy girl..... 

  So it seems that a lot of things have been going on and yet nothing is going on.  That is life.  The two younger gals have been going to Bible School in the evening and Doug and Cassidy have been at musical practice, so if Katie is home it is just the two of us, or if she has plans, I am on my own.  I have been reading a good book and even had a couple little early evening naps....woo hoo...     The sky has been doing some amazing things this summer, I just loved this one.    These crackers are so good and really have hardly anything bad in them....yummm   I have been making a real effort to get my fitbit steps back up.  So walking on breaks again.  I really feel better when I do it.   On one of my walks, I saw this beauty.  The yellow is just gorgeous.   The botany department is one of my favorite areas to walk through on campus.  I love this combination of plants. ...

    If we went out for coffee, I would suggest we go to the Jackson Avenue coffee house because I love the atmosphere, it is quiet for a nice conversation, and I could order a Snickers coffee.....AMAZING!     We would probably start with the usual small talk, but hopefully we would dive into some more deep topics and really learn about one another.     You would learn that I will try to ask you more questions than the other way around.  One, because I am truely interested in other people, and two, because I get uncomfortable talking about myself.      I will always start talking about my family when you ask me a personal question because I can talk about them for days.....     I am not a secretive person by nature, but my introvertness really shows up in these type of situations.      Bear with me and let's have coffee another time.  You will learn more about me the more I ...

  I have started following some education blogs and am hoping to start incorporating some of my Literacy activities on the blog.  I found a fun link up at The Teaching Tribune   and decided to participate.  So here is my My Monday Meet Up, and some randomness about me.     1.  I always played some version of house or teacher it seemed.  Barbies were my major love and I am so happy Lucy shares this love of the Blonde Fashion Model.   2.  I think Lola is an awesome name.  You just want to learn more about someone named Lola...   3.  I know, a coughing fit is pretty minor, but when your visit is 30 minutes and someone else has to fill in for you, it feels kind of pathetic.   4.  I am immature in my love for the Twilight series, but I would read them over and over.  Oh wait, I have.   5.  I wish I still had a living sibling to discuss past family life with since my parents ar...

    That it passed too quickly.  Seriously with school going until the end of May, summer has felt shortened.   That my "hormones" have caused me to start getting sun burns on my neck and arms....ugghh, the perils of getting older.   That snack bar ice cream from the pool is one of my most missed treats over the winter months.   That I love having more time at home when school is over and activities are fewer.   That some flowers need less sun....oops   That I could never be a rescue placement person for animals or I would be on Animal Hoarders....yes, we still have all 5 kittens.    That work really interfers with my pool time.  Why did I not get a teaching degree?   So, bring on July!!   

  In Case You Were Wondering What Is Going On With Me......       This link up is with Oh Boy Fourth Grade.
