<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. do I have fleas? The cat is gone; the strange flying things remain.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. am I disgruntled or just too sensitive? A grown, supposedly educated, woman (in a supervisory position) sends mass e-mail reminding employees that light bulbs which work in the Smart Boards are expensive. So, 'take care of these bulbs' by turning off the machine between uses. Umm.</span></span></span><br />

I probably missed the earlier memo that said "We are financially unable to support the technology that we have forced upon you. Use magical thinking to get the technology repaired if you want to use said technology in the future." or maybe it said, "Don't let students use the overhead projector for a basketball hoop mini-me." [I hope I am using that word correctly. The language of the 21st century sometimes eludes me.]<br />
I do have middle school boys who must touch the highest part of the ceiling whenever possible... and I encourage them to "reach for the sky" every once in a while. Maybe I need that email reminder. Save that lady a trip from the office to meet with the lowly workers whose lives, success, and discontent depend on having [or not] equipment that works ALL THE TIME. Sorry this is negative; I tried to stay away from the drama...<br />

Leah sent them. I haven't explored the vast number of photos I have discovered here in the basement and here in the closets. I hope you enjoy them. We have lived an eclectic life and we are from hardy stock.<br />

This week has been full of actions that should be endings, but, in reality, are just other events that stretch the activities of life and no closure ever arrives. It's like I'm 'Waiting for G'do" (I never can remember how to spell that play...) <br />
<br />
Monday (Mamo-Monday) come back in 6 months. Wonderful
lunch at Atomic Grill. All the kids had a great meal and we even got
some great photos. (Send me some photos family!) And a trip to the big
junk shop.<br />

it's clean!<br />
<br />
<br />
And saw a purty "metallic purple/black cherry?" 300 for
sticker 38K and a 2013. But-I can't find the color anywhere on the
internet, can't figure out why it's so cheap - AWD ? engine? It does
have a sun/moon roof and leather seats - but the passenger seat is not
power so what else is missing???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
and so it goes... I'm just not ready
for that big move.<br />

Wednesday -(WOW-EPA-Wednesday)<br />
<br />
Lew, Bekka and Dave came from Elkview and the behest of Rusty and began to explain how this 'pick up' of materials works.<br />
<br />
<br />
They go to the basement and bring out 200 big zip lock bags worth of stuff, manifest each, toss into the appropriate bin. They know their jobs; they recognize my problems; and by 5 o'clock they are on their way back home - had to unload the truck this morning. (I was so tired watching them work, I went to bed early!) not finished...<br />
<br />

<br />
Thursday (WOW-EPA-Through Thursday) Neighbors stopped by to see what the heck the EPA was doing in their neighborhood yesterday. they even chatted up the guys.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jeff came to help clear out the greenhouse so they could get to the material. He also loaded the tools into the truck when everyone was gone.<br />
<br />
<br />
The crew walked through the basement, finished up, tackled the garage and greenhouse - result: they got the NiC and took it along with some other stuff. We passed the mercury sniffing test. And we are clear to finish cleaning out the basement, garage and greenhouse, the work is far from over.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am really tired.<br />
Tomorrow is Friday.<br />
I'm tired, just thinking about it.<br />

The girls are coming late this afternoon for a mini sleepover; tomorrow they will go to Morgantown to bond some more in that cultural event 'back to school shopping' or some such excuse. We are really having a mid-birthday party (not a late celebration not an early one). This year the magic numbers are 35 and 39 and, of course, 66. [also 5 and 13 parties already over and yet to be held] I'm planning watermelon, ice cream sundaes, and maybe cup cakes - something to set the flames upon. <br />
<br />
The Summer of 2013 has gone quickly. School was not over for me until mid June. By then we had had a plethora of events: Tracy and Keith's anniversary (over the Memorial Day Weekend)<br />
<br />
Zoey turned 5 in June. See those photos of her Miss Kitty BD?<br />
<br />
Delia spent a night over here - we went to see Despicable Me2... <br />
<br />
It's been a rainy summer in WV. Some weeks the rains came every day. It was even difficult to find a day to cut the grass. 'Indecisive me' let several opportunities to empty the house fly by - so I still own it and have to pay the taxes and deal with registering it as 'vacant' with the assessor's office. Bummer.<br />
<br />
Through f/b and Tracy, I found an artisan, Sarah H., who offered to look at the stained glass windows in the garage with the intent on appraising them for sale. She brought a friend to the garage to help move the windows to photograph them and he wore flip flops. After he stepped on a board with a nail sticking out, we quit looking at the windows and took him to the hospital ER for a tetanus shoot and an x-ray. (I called Jeff to put the widows back.) She's been busy since then. I have tried to track down the original prices of the windows and some of their history. That's a story for another paragraph.<br />
<br />
Brenda and Sonja have helped me clean out some of the stuff in 'the house' - Brenda is a friend from my days teaching at Flemington and my friendship with Jean Burton. She does the hard work of dragging stuff to me and moving it downs stairways; Sonja is Jeff's wife and she carries stuff to the car and truck and helps box up - we were on a roll until we went to the basement. Brenda boxed up all the fluorescent light bulbs; Sonja got her son to drive the trash of the ceiling tiles to the dump - things were coming together. Brenda swept a path; Sonja started her plan to clear the shelves - then we opened a cabinet door and realized we had a problem. The solution had to wait until after the Boy Scout Jamboree, and that ended this past week, but the guys have not called me to set up a visit at this time... and Sonja went home to can beans; Brenda lets me cancel every Tuesday...<br />
<br />
I used the 'free time' to get the oil changed in the LHS - and the garage said I had a problem with an oil plug so I spent a couple days at the garage waiting for a solution there... I have an appointment for Tuesday this coming week.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">An old acquaintance of mine died this week- J<span style="font-size: large;">o</span>hn Fuscaldo </span></span>- He graduated from Victory in 1965; he died suddenly at 65 and he was best known as a cop in the area. Once he was a substitute teacher in my classroom at Flemington. He got so mad at one of my classes, he threw a book down hard on my huge desk. My wooden desk had a glass covering it (I inherited that from the last teacher who taught English there); but the glass was sitting on a paper with a paperclip on the corner. And the corner of the glass top broke. He walked out, walked down three flights of stairs, got in his car and drove off. I think he came back when he cooled down. I wasn't there and can only recount what I was told. John was a good man; he just had a hot temper. School teaching wasn't his 'thing' but he worked in law enforcement until he died. I hope he was happy and this death wasn't too much of a surprise....<br />

Aunt Joy is still working and looks younger than <span style="font-size: large;">ever. She has a new cat - a s<span style="font-size: large;">nowshoe Siamese called Ja<span style="font-size: large;">zzie. He's ADHA<span style="font-size: large;">, but he's just a kitten.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">In June, Leah, Jay, Cassie and I drove to Virginia to see Rob an<span style="font-size: large;">d Jenny (and Alana, the grandchild.) We sa<span style="font-size: large;">w</span> Monticello and the winery. I got a speeding ticket on the way back in Virginia. Or rather a failure to heed a speed sign ticket. <span style="font-size: large;">No matter, <span style="font-size: large;">i</span></span>t was a ticket!!!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I worked on finishing up some financial things<span style="font-size: large;">- starting in July, continuing into the late summer and fall. Maybe in January the process can finally end.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I <span style="font-size: large;">spent</span> Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Millers<span style="font-size: large;">. Festivities never end there! Zoey had her '<span style="font-size: large;">B</span>arbie Christmas<span style="font-size: large;">' and at 4 and 1/2 this was THE time to have it... All smiles and sparkles from that little girl!! </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">We had another Christmas last Sunday when the families could get together here. Delia spent the next two nights here an<span style="font-size: large;">d</span> we celebrated New <span style="font-size: large;">Y</span>ears by staying up and watching the ball drop - exploding <span style="font-size: large;">confetti</span> grenades, sitting on balloons and popping them, making igloos out<span style="font-size: large;">side - (she did, I didn't) and wearing paper hats!</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We all seem to have good health. And our bucket lists seem to stretch out forever<span style="font-size: large;">,</span> <span style="font-size: large;">d</span>espite the health problems we see in our nearby family...</span></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aunt Norma has been in Cleveland Clinic since before Christmas, and was operated on a few days ago.

<span style="font-size: large;">It's the new year.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2013</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">WOW - so many things have changed in the past decade 200<span style="font-size: large;">2</span> -201<span style="font-size: large;">2</span>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this year is a year of living to the max. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Strange, too, that <span style="font-size: large;">the calendar turns to the new year in January - mid-winter. I like new beginnings to be green, fresh, warming slightly and moving into the peak <span style="font-size: large;">of comfort. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Not so in our world right now - it's cold, of course, and damp. Even Gibbs is wearing a tweedy wool jacke<span style="font-size: large;">t on my new NCIS <span style="font-size: large;">calendar for 2013, preparing for a lo<span style="font-size: large;">ng, cold dark winter..</span></span>.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Delia and I spent this New Year's Eve Together. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We got a late start on searching for appropriate New Year accessories. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First to Kroger - no party hats there. <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>hen to CVS, where we found the hats and balloons. On to the next best store, RiteAid, where the silly string, popping <span style="font-size: large;">confetti</span> and those little <span style="font-size: large;">noisemakers </span>wit<span style="font-size: large;">h the roll-out paper on the ends</span>. And don't forget the candles, lighters, and lanterns to be used for an outside pur<span style="font-size: large;">pose...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Delia built an igloo <span style="font-size: large;">outside while we waited for the new year to appear on the east coast.</span> We watched ROKU reruns of Monk and we ate chocolate by the tons in var<span style="font-size: large;">ious forms - true confession time. </span></span> </span><br />

This is my 'project' to make sure the substitute garbage collector can tell I've paid for the service. The garbage is collected at 3 am every Tuesday. the yellow paint is a waste of time and paint. It cannot be seen at night. But, the reflectors are very nice, if there is a light to be reflected. Now, if I only had a mirror ball and a battery operated light... and some reflecting balloons....<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So here goes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This was our last day at Timberline cabin #99 up on the hill beside the ski slope, almost to the top if the mountain, on the other side of the hill from Dolly Sods, or so said the map. <span style="font-size: large;">W</span>e had found Trout Pond, the only natural lake in WV, earlier in the trip, but it is now inside a private compound and therefore unavailable to the general public. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The door to our lodging has a stained class skier and a big white tree as its motif and the <span style="font-size: large;">house</span> is called White Tree.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The <span style="font-size: large;">house</span> has three levels. The main level has a kitchen, gas fireplace in the great room, a gas fireplace in the master bedroom suite. Each level has bedrooms and baths. <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>he lower level also has a kitchen and a wood burning fireplace. There were bear and deer objects everywhere: a <span style="font-size: large;">reminder</span> that we are, <span style="font-size: large;">in fact,</span> in the woods with wild animals. <span style="font-size: large;">W</span>e saw deer, raccoon and heard other things outside...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">She is walking on the decorative wall outside our lodging. It was about two stones high and she was balancing very well. <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>he hillside is steep here to the lower level of the house. there is an access road, grass and gravel, at the back of the house. Someday there will be houses built near this one - right now, there is only one near neighbor and it's out of sight to her right.</span><br />

The elevation is responsible for the leafless trees; we saw many trees with leaves at lower elevations that weekend. But, the place was beautiful every day we were there.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> WV Historical Marker: On our way out we caught this sign - made in Marietta and full of information about the geology of the area. <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>he sign is somewhere in Canaan Valley to the north of Timberline I think toward <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Davis</span>. Davis has a Supermarket - maybe a Giant Eagle. Everything else is small town and rural looking until you get to Elkins...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> US Forest Service/WV DNR sign: This next sign must have been on the other side of the mountain. I think the Blackwater River is in the Cheat, Mononghela River Basin and flows west. <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>he Potomac, of course, flows east toward the Chesapeake Bay.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">T</span>his makes sense if you know that Dolly Sods is on the Allegheny <span style="font-size: large;">Front</span> which is the <span style="font-size: large;">mountainous</span> area that faces east toward Virginia and edges the <span style="font-size: large;">Chesapeake</span> basin.</span><br />

I needed this sign to prove we were going the right direction. I could not remember the scenery as we drove - (THIRTY YEARS IN THE PAST, COME ON...GIVE ME A BREAK) Later, I did discover we had driven into the Sods from an entirely different direction.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> We ha<span style="font-size: large;">d a fun night Saturday. <span style="font-size: large;">Tracy put together a slide show of <span style="font-size: large;">pictures</span> found in the attic. She didn't bring them <span style="font-size: large;">all, but what she did bring were a hoot! What great memories. I hope she can get them transferred to a CD so we can enjoy them again. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> She set up on a table that projected on the wall next to the fireplace. The girls, Zoey and Delia, loved the blank spaces. They made bunny ears in the light. We were surprised at all the photos Dad took<span style="font-size: large;">, the clothes we were wearing, the family we seldom see anymore. </span>Everyone laughed and nobody cried, at least where the other<span style="font-size: large;">s could hear them.</span></span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> On Sunday morning, Cabin Fever got hold of us: Tracy and Keith went off to hike a trail. I wanted to shop and I got the grandkids (and their driver, Dad and their Mom/Aunt) to go with me to the new Canaan Valley lodge (gift shop) and restaurant. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The wind was brisk and the temperature was cold, so we didn't stay outside very long. <span style="font-size: large;">Everyone</span> wanted a photo op with the beautiful fall colors!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> That's better!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we discovered that the restaurant stopped serving at 2 and would <span style="font-size: large;">reopen</span> at 4 or 5, we <span style="font-size: large;">decided</span> we couldn't wait there to eat. No snack bar for us. We need real food. So off we go to Big John's Fixin's</span>.<span style="font-size: large;"> It's a kind of Chucky Cheese in the Mountains -- games for the kids--skeeball and <span style="font-size: large;">other arcade games,</span> and trains for the Dad's to watch and 'play' with. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After that load of carbohydrates, we went home to the cabin so Tracy and Keith could pack to go home. We took the family photo with Dad, and Trisha was the expert photographer then. I hope she sends me a copy ;-) hint. hint.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The Frank<span style="font-size: large;">e</span>nstorm, Sandy, has given us a snow day (and by now 4PM) we will also be off from school in Taylor tomorrow, too! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Yippee for me; so sorry for those without power, heat, water, and good friends to help them with the downed trees and icy roads. <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>hat said, I now have time to reflect on the past few months and the photos to prove what I'm reflecting upon.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> So here goes <span style="font-size: large;">Installment</span> #1 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Our Family Vacation at Timberline, in Canaan Valley-Tucker County West Virginia!!!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This was our day "out" of the 'cabin' on <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saturday:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span> We went to the nature center @ Canaan Valley for the girls, cultural self-definition for me ( I bought books, got a free poster, made a friend in the bookstore and took photos of the fun.)</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
Even then, the weather was c-o-l-d and the wind was f-i-e-r-c-e; so we rushed inside (the Nature Center) from our separate vehicles. I realized this might be the best time to get the gang's photo so I started snapping.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And they were very co-operative. Taking advantage of the local color (the bear and the beaver, which I thought at first was the woodchuck from our backyard) they gave it their all and made lovely memories.<br />

Off we go to the town of Davis. We explored several cute shops on Main Street. This one is an Artisan Shop that sells to tourists. I looked at the quilts and stained glass - old habits die hard. these are machine quilted but very colorfully patterned. I bought the autumn leaf w/acorn stained glass and the stained glass autumn pumpkin with acorn - for the girls.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Needless to say I was tempted, but did not buy this pretty thing. Then we went on down the road to Thomas to eat at the Purple Fiddle we thought...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But as it turned out, <b>The Purple Fiddle </b>was full of people waiting to hear the band and/or singer at 2 p.m. so we walked on down the street to a place called the<b> TipTop </b> a coffee shop with FOOD.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So here goes that snaps from that part of the adventure:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Just like most small towns trying to catch a buck from the tourists, this coffee bar has some cute and odd art work. And it tries to keep the ambiance of the old store front they occupy.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This was the art on the wall. A new use for all that 'heirloom silver' from your 25th anniversary.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We ordered and the kids brought the food to the table. Delia got some ETSY buttons and everyone admired the artwork on the walls - odd stuff ;-)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We loved the food, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beer or liquor at the coffee bar, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cookies from the bakery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gourmet sandwiches.</span><br />

Next off to the shop down the street to see if the displays 'do right' by the artists.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then we decided to go back to Timberline and see the horses! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Yes, we told the girls we would stop at the stables and inquire about the horses. The cat Pumpkin and the dog were a better draw after we got there ;-)</span><br />

Now it is time to go back to the cabin and EAT, and view those slides of previous family vacations you been promised. Continued later....Prisoner of the Universe #2-16http://www.blogger.com/profile/03725300690506327015noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158693790045865510.post-90515008554555762002012-10-12T20:06:00.000-04:002012-10-12T20:06:28.345-04:00Keeping Mothers in the picture.<span style="font-size: large;">It's Friday. I'm home. Finally. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a tough day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I caught a kid stealing from my desk - a kid I had taken to heart, who said he was hungry and I gave him a snack from my desk drawer. And when he ask me again one evening after class, I gave him another. And then another. But Wednesday, in home room after I had been in the hall watching kids, I caught him sitting in my chair at the desk. I thought he was just "trying out the chair" and told him not to be there; that there were things on the desk that were none of his business. But, I never thought he had been in the drawer looking for treats to steal and eat. [Hindsight says he took candy then; I just missed it.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I came back into the room at lunch while the kids were decorating for spirit week (what chaos) and there he was. ..sitting in my chair, bending over the drawer where my purse and the snacks were.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He held his hands behind his back while I berated him for sitting behind my desk again. Then I saw the stance - hands behind the back, never relaxing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I told him to show me what he had in his hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the left hand - a paper cone of some kind. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In his right hand - a mini candy bar with a label - "for a hard working teacher"- (from the local teacher sorority, who had put it in my mailbox that morning before I got the mail on my way to the room).</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBP3qK1Q9bAqnN5nAKD-uo2jSYc4f7eAQc8xZPfOO2bkvvZfKKHLPGCKBuCV2PnR56I5qLCdt3T1JGUkP5_FdNcelHpj1gYIRYA8ptjGbvXD2kmd0NkWV9q1TeC0CkpHfHabdLQChtPk0/s1600/its+not+always+about+you.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBP3qK1Q9bAqnN5nAKD-uo2jSYc4f7eAQc8xZPfOO2bkvvZfKKHLPGCKBuCV2PnR56I5qLCdt3T1JGUkP5_FdNcelHpj1gYIRYA8ptjGbvXD2kmd0NkWV9q1TeC0CkpHfHabdLQChtPk0/s1600/its+not+always+about+you.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">I took him to the counselor; but she and I talked out of his earshot. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">She said:</span>"His parents both have jobs. His mother is probably putting him on a diet because he's put on the pounds since 6th grade." Later she said his lunch had plenty of calories to fuel a kid for the afternoon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, now I have to lock my desk every time I am away from it. And lock my door when I am not in the room. And I knew that, but I just didn't want to.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> And another "I've been there" moment: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The "new" reading teacher took her flock to the computer lab to write and print. Someone sent 2,000 copies to the printer. She was rightfully upset and taken off guard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Kids were afraid they would all get zero's because she forbade them to print - no one saved and they all lost their work. She pulled the plug on the printer.

<span style="font-size: large;">She will learn "it's all small stuff." It happened to me; hah, the memories... and I learned how to fix it without getting a coronary or giving one.

It's getting colder outside and the days are getting shorter. Tonight, while there is still a little daylight, I am in school making a test for tomorrow and Friday - getting it copied and prepared for students. I heard today, that my workday is 7:45 to 3:15. I hope this is a mistake. I can never get out of here by 3:16. Getting into a routine isn't easy and I'd hate to start another at this late date.<br />
I need ideas for the setup of my Museum. A cabinet is too restrictive; boxes tied together with wire ties look like the next best thing - I can lift them (plastic crates) to the counter and fill them with artifacts.<br />
I was reminded today that my lessons should be short and portable; when kids are called out of class everyday, they need something to call classwork/makeup work. Looks like short chapters with worksheets:perhaps Mr. Dowling has the answer. They can phone it in.<br />
Reminder: get the absence phone in sheet from the office again. I keep forgetting where it is...<br />
And so it goes... back to the test and copy machine..<br />

Oh, yes. Happy Anniversary to my youngest and her hubby (tomorrow).Prisoner of the Universe #2-16http://www.blogger.com/profile/03725300690506327015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158693790045865510.post-43017041358685314292012-09-08T16:20:00.003-04:002012-09-08T16:20:29.845-04:00The scarcasm in my blog is intensional; the misspelled words are not.<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dear Familia,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You gotta love a rainy day. The weather channel gets up-in-arms and replays all the possible calamities and flying debris photos the staff can find. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I could look out the window for an hour by hour update, but, hey, who would want to expend the effort when TWC does it all for you?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the place where I generally record all the exciting events that have happened to me during the past few weeks; however, as you know I'm steeped in sarcasm, so don't look for too many insights into nirvana. The school week was mercilessly short -- 4 days, and adding to the confusion: the Labor Day Holiday front ended it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, On Labor Day Saturday, Jean and I ate lunch and spent the afternoon on Joy's porch, while WVU trounced Marshall in <u>the Coal </u>(a.k.a. good 'ol boys gathering)<u> "bowl".</u> Such a waste of kids and resources just to please the politicos and their deep pocket friends [the game, not the lunch]. Time just flies even when I try to keep track... Jean and I got home late and I collapsed into sleep only to awaken to Sunday... </span></span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I ate lunch with the Millers on Monday-the Holiday itself! It was grand ;-) too much for one meal, I took some home in my rain hat... The future looks good for preschool and other events to be forthcoming! I'm even looking forward to our mountain adventure vacation to be held in late October again this year.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> See Trisha's blog for pictures of Zoey going to 1st day preschool!!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">School/work just happened every day since the holiday.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the news, I hear that some stupid sons-of-b***** want to capitalize on the "party" rating the WVU has, since some writer decided to crown the student body "#1 party school" again this year. The mental giant who proposed this to city council was so blinded by the almighty dollar that he allowed his face to be seen on TV discussing the "option's advantages." This idea is STUPID and evidently he is ignorant of the law and common sense. I hope his kid, 18, 19 or 20 years old, is not binge drinking and driving in Morgantown. My family lives there.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">(We just had a power out/in/out/in/out/in) 3:42pm Glad this laptop has a great battery. And I still have internet connections or I'd have to give up this rant.)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Furthermore, my school board has gifted the social studies teachers of the middle school with a 30 computer laptop lab. Just the 3 teachers in 7 and 8 have 90 kids who would like to use them at the same time. I'm not sure how this will turn out: some (machines) seem not to work already... we haven't been given the passwords so we don't know what's on them yet... "trust but verify"... Of course, the people who ordered them had done "due diligence" in preparing them... so they were ready for school when we got them...right?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gotta go pay the bills. Love to all. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, Familia:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I survived the first day back at work. We had meetings at the high school. Not the kind of day one would think that would wipe out the energy of a veteran (seasoned) teacher.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> What, probably, did wipe out my energy - the excursion into the State Parks in the mountains of Eastern West Virginia.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Leah and I ate a lovely buffet (beef noodles, pot roast to-die-for, and berry cobbler) lunch at Penn Alps, toured the craft shops, refrained from buying and drove off - looking for adventure.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The day was beautiful and the road was blacktop - no holes, dents or divots - all the way to The West Virginia State Parks: Blackwater Falls and Canaan Valley. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The road, although straight and clean, was LONG, too long. We got to the Blackwater Lodge, ask directions to the cabins, drove around and took photos, saw the famous falls from the "easy" overlook and remembered all the times we had been there before with our families. The cabin I wanted is rented and the others are on hold for a conference the weekend we were looking at. So NO Blackwater weekend this October. I'm too afraid of snow in the mountains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> We drove to the end of the long road in Canaan and began the descent into Harmon...(I saw the road to Timberline, but we were too close to sunset and I didn't want to drive through the rain (predicted for "before 7" by the weather report at the lodge) and the fog on those unfamiliar mountain roads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">I didn't cover my head; we got to Elkins by a little after 6PM through rain and fog. We had a buffet (stew and sweet potatoes, Kings Hawaiian bread...) at the steak house to the left of Hiawatha's , then we left for Buckhannon and Weston and Clarksburg, and Fairmont and back. I got home at 9:30 or so.</span><br />

I am such a lazy person.<br />
On the good side, I did get more copies of my birth certificate from the courthouse (to mail with my retirement request, my passport request and my social security if needed). I should have: called the eye doctor and got lined bifocals, cleased out more papaerwork at the boulevard, organized my office. But, hey, who wants to do work.... most of that stuff is dependent on SEEING the paperwork (which I don't do very well just now)<br />
I found some cool signs while floating 'round the interesting net.<br />
