Pity, Kathy, you have to make up those days!!!
Chonsi - I hope your daughter is fully recovered very soon.
Hello my friend (((((Pam))))).
Stay safe and have tons of fun in Colorado skiing to your heart's delight...You lucky girl you:-4 You deserve the best Pam and hope that you're having a spectacular time. Are you taking some pictures of yourself at the resort you're staying at that you can post here?:-6
Yes, we have to make up the days in June. Our contract, with our Board of Education, states that we will work 180 days and any days missed will be made up at the end of the year. And that's all good. It's good to have some time off now:D
~~~~~~~Ahhhh, I just looked out my window and saw that the snow has begun to fall. Guess the storm is a comin...
This is one of my favorite poems from my childhood. I was about 8 years old, and my Mom and I were taking a walk together late at night.
Suddenly, it began to snow for the 1st time that winter, and here I was alone with my Mom...no brothers around, just walking, chatting about life as girls always do, and hearing and savoring the 'silent' crunching of snow beneath our feet. This was a treasured moment with my Mom:-4
Velvet Shoes
Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space;
With footsteps quiet and slow,
At a tranquil pace,
Under veils of white lace.
I shall go shod in silk,
And you in wool,
White as white cow's milk,
More beautiful
Than the breast of a gull.
We shall walk through the still town
In a windless peace;
We shall step upon white down,
Upon silver fleece,
Upon softer than these.
We shall walk in velvet shoes:
Wherever we go
Silence will fall like dews
On white silence below.
We shall walk in the snow.
