A Note from School: Say What?

Just before LG entered first grade, we stretched our budget in order to move into a public school district that is among the best in the state. Not only do they have excellent teachers, but they have really cool after-school programs. LG just enrolled in an after-school language immersion class — French and German, this [...]

For Our Friends

The first blogfriend I made was the one and only, truly original Bucky Four-eyes. It was love at first read, for me. I call her my blog Godmother, because in ways I can’t fully articulate, she (without knowing she was doing so) gave me the courage(?) to start blogging. And then it wasn’t too long [...]

But once again, I say ‘amen,’and it’s still raining.And as the thunder rollsI barely hear You whisper through the rain,“I’m with you.”

Biscuit Friday ~ It’s a Good Thing He’s Cute

Because he really is very bad.
On the first day of school, I let Biscuit out into our fenced backyard. When it was time for LG and me to leave for school, I went to let him back in. He was gone. We had to leave, so I walked LG to school (less than 10 minutes, [...]
