About a week and half ago, classes began at Wayland.  I have also started my one day a week position at Texas Tech.  For those who may not know, I took a bit of a sabbatical from teaching, without knowing at the time that it was a sabbatical.  It had been my intention to try [...]

I always thought the idea of time capsules was fascinating. Although, I admit that I wonder what I could possibly leave myself or tell myself of the future that would be useful or interesting. However, if I turn the tables and ask myself what I’d like to hear from the past, just about [...]

For the first time that I can remember we decorated for Christmas when you’re supposed to, Thanksgiving weekend. We got the tree up after moving the furniture around, end table to the storage building, brought in the coffee table. Then got all of the indoor stuff set up. Lori did most of this, I just [...]
