Golden Girls Summer
Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot was saved on July 3, 2021. The summer after Covid. I saved it because that year, my online knitting group returned to holding our annual summer knitting “camp”. We couldn’t have it during 2020 because of Covid and the shutdown. But we came back with a vengeance the next year.… →

Peace in My Spot
What brings you peace? Everything about today brings me peace. Well, almost everything. You know what I did for 90% of my time at work today? I sat in my office and got work done. I was even a tiny bit bored around 4:30. The summer program that I have been supervising since it started… →

A Summer Reprieve
Describe your most memorable vacation. I was thinking yesterday about things I’ve posted in the “olden” days of my blog. I thought about reposting some of the oldies. This prompt today is the perfect opportunity. I wrote about this vacation back in July of 2015. It was titled A Teacher’s Summer (Part 2). I’ve copied… →

Satan’s Armpit

The last time this came up I believe I talked about New Year’s being my favorite holiday. I could talk about Christmas this time, because it really is a great… →

Did I ever tell you…(part 3)
Yesterday, the daily prompt asked about what we learned in high school. In the spirit of that topic, I present another edition of “Did I ever tell you…?” This one is a high school edition and really, contains a whole list of other things I learned in that era. Did I ever tell you that… →

Back to School Season for a Former Teacher
For the entirety of my school-attending life, and especially for the past 19 years as a teacher and most recently, school principal, August has been the most dreaded month of the year. As an educator, August means that summer vacation is over and it’s time to start another school year. This is especially true for… →

Things that are making me happy (part 5)
Afternoon thunderstorms…finally! Living in the southeast part of the United States is not very pleasant during the summer months if you don’t like heat, which I don’t. I could make the classic argument that it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity. But when you’re under an excessive heat warning with the heat index at 108…it… →

Things that are making me happy (part 1)
I feel like much of what I have posted online and what I have said to people lately begin with “now that I’m done with grad school”… After that usually comes a statement about something that I am enjoying or something that I am going to do that I couldn’t do for the past two… →
