When Jodie mentioned this skirt in an email, I thought, “Why not try it?” Turns out, Mireille may have thought the same thing. So, today’s post is going to be a three-fer. I’ll provide links to both of their posts a little later. I’m always a sucker for a challenge in case you haven’t noticed! …
Life lately… Where in the world did October go? It’s my favorite month, and we are already at the third Thursday of the month? How can that be? I just celebrated a birthday and heard from all of my people. I love hearing from all of them on the same day! Nigel is still struggling …
Remember when you could… I have to chuckle at myself some times. I have reached the age when the words, “I remember when” come out of my mouth more and more often. Just the other day, I was telling my grandson you could buy a candy bar for a nickel! Yes, for those of you …
Rules… Now, I’ll be the first to admit I am a rule follower. I think it’s kinda inherent when you’re a teacher. You expect rules to be followed, and eventually, you become a rule follower.

An update… My last docent class is this coming Saturday. I have my graduation tour date set, and I’m firming up the theme. I’ve got the art pieces picked out. I just need an audience! I thought a Thursday afternoon in June would be fine for most everyone’s schedule. Guess what? My people are going …
Like many of you, I read a lot of blogs. It seems like, about this time of year, bloggers near my age (give or take five years) write about what is appropriate for a woman of my age. I’ll be honest with you all. I’m 67…damn! That just seems weird to even type! How did …

Creativity… I never thought of myself as a particularly creative person. I couldn’t draw, play a musical instrument, or do anything I considered creative. I was very, very tunnel-visioned in my thinking. It wasn’t until after I retired that I realized I’d been funneling all my creativity into my teaching. I had to create bulletin …
