  • This is part of the power point subject my students are working on this week. They are having fun, learning, and using technology. A triple treat. I talked to one of my aunts tonight for a few minutes. It seemed li…

  • "Make someone happy, make just one someone happy...." I don't know who sang this song, but maybe Frank sang it. Another hot day today....upper 70's. There was little or no coolness in the computer lab. I love going…

  • www.cis.nctu.edu.tw/ is the place I got this photo to go with the poem that I wrote and am presenting below this. or something like that. I am brain dead tonight. I finished at school today at 2 PM and drove over …

  • It's that time of year again. "Play Ball" Friday is the first day. I think. Today we went to the computer lab to learn how to do power points and work on one about fungi. A good day at work. I think everyone like…

  • Today the weather has been like this all day. Misty, moisty, murky weather. I can't remember if this is from Vexations or not. My Mother's brother in law died yesterday afternoon. He was 85. He went peacefully and q…

  • Another reason for hope. Today has been a rough day with my Dad. He was somewhat better later in the day. BF made dinner tonight...nothing fancy...a friend invited us to dessert after dinner. Nice. I still haven…

  • Spring may have arrived, just in time for spring. My internet service has been down for days. The plumber came in today to work on the leak....he put an access into the wall, and apparently in moving things, my se…

  • I keep trying to remind myself that this is the first day of vacation. My Dad has been trying to keep me from enjoying it. BF has gone out of town to see his son. My sons are mostly busy, so I am just trying to keep…

  • Easter licorice ducks? One lemon flavored. Just imagine. A week off for vacation, and most of my time is already spoken for. I am taking a couple of days for myself. So I will be in and out. Maybe have some n…

  • wish I was sitting in some tropical paradise right about now. Ha! Well, I finished my computer competency class tonight. I got the renewal points I needed. On to the next hurdle. Passing the Praxis. I am tire…

  • A fine Irish fairy, if you ask me. It isn't even dark and I am home. What did I forget to do or where could I have forgotten to go? This feels so strange to be home before dinner time. Tomorrow we can pay $5 to…

  • I just like this photo. Tomorrow (15th) is the anniversary of my mother's death. I wrote the following poem not too long after her death. I am sharing it with you. PROMISES KEPT I PUT SOCKS ON HER FEET, AS SHE HAD…

  • My sons are more Irish than I am. Both their maternal greatgrandfathers were first generation Irishmen. One was a doctor and one was a hunter/trapper. Who knew? My sister came up for the weekend to visit my Dad and…

  • Smile if you are Irish. If anything else happens this week, please don't tell me. It has been a difficult week, but I am strong. Patient Friend Come, Friend, Walk this path with me, Cross the grassy meadow…

  • Things are tough all over. This has been a very busy week. Tonight I visited Dad for the first time since Sunday....boy was he in a bad mood. I have two more computer classes and that will be over. I will celebrate…

  • One of my students won third place in the Invention Convention. Out of 1500 entries, he was a winner. Pictures to follow. I am glad this is over for this year. I am just about worn out. Have a special Wednesday. Cy…

  • Wish BF and I could go on a picnic tonight, or tomorrow. He wishes the same thing, I am sure. Tomorrow we put our things up in the Invention Convention, so I will be out there doing stuff and have a substitute. I wi…

  • Maybe I better think about going on a diet again. Maybe I should think about having liposuction for my birthday treat this year. That should be interesting. ha I was almost late for the big, big test this morning. …

  • Hungry? Me too. Them too. Going to bed soon. I have a very runny nose, a major test tomorrow, and I took a bunch of drugs to help my cold. Hurry spring!

  • Only two more classes to learn all about how to use the computer. The last class is mostly sharing what we have done for our unit project. I am doing mine on the water cycle. I have made some powerpoints, newspaper,…

  • Aren't these beautiful? I have an apology to make. My birthday isn't for 6 months, but I have been thinking what to do for this milestone birthday year. The year I turned 40, I had my ears pierced. The year I tur…

  • Who says it is almost spring? Not these guys. They like the cold stuff. Back to the old unit project, but just checking in. Friend Jean had a successful heart catherization, Dianne's daughter has now been diagnosed…
