Only Temporary
Flashback Friday Despite the fact that it’s summer–officially–and despite the fact that here in North Carolina, we have already had several days this season where the temperature has been so high that the heat index has gone over 100, I am still wearing long sleeves to work. Yesterday, the shirt I wore caused me to… →

The Start of Summer
Flashback Friday Since most of the schools in my area are out for summer break, I sought out a picture from a summer break of the past for this flashback Friday. It didn’t take me long to find one. As soon as I looked up at my shelf of photo albums, I saw this canvas… →

Heeding Ferris’ Advice
“Something Good” Sunday There have been several good things that happened this week. We started working in-person at my job and I have enjoyed being in the office with my coworkers. They’re a hoot.

But we came back with a vengeance the next year.… →

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
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? It’s summer. Not technically though. Summer will officially begin in the northern hemisphere on June 20th this year. Thank you Google. However, I live in the south. South east. It’s pretty much already summer. I literally got sunburn last week from the 30 minutes I stood out… →

Summer Lovin’, Steve Style
Steve is ready for the summer in the sunhat I crocheted for him and his straight outta the 80s sunglasses! For anyone new to the fan club, Steve is the skull on top of the tree in my dinky little sad office at work. Here is his origin story—A Steve for Every Season Steve will… →

Gateway to Summer
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? The first rule of daily prompts is don’t talk about daily prompts being repeated all…the…time! 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… →
