7th Grade Boys Getting Married

Here are two of my favorite seventh grade science students, Brian d. and Nick L. I can't believe that they found the women of their dreams and someone to perform the ceremony.

Oh, that's right. They've both completed college already.

Time does fly.

Nick's parents sent me flowers at the end of the school year with a nice note. Bryan's mom brought a plate of cookies up to the classroom. Those things are major in middle school. Funny thing, I liked them. And a whole lot of other kids, too. We had good times in that classroom.

Happy life with your brides, men. I'm sure you've chosen wisely.

No Books Were Harmed in the Makeover of this Shelf

A new school year.

A shiny new assistant. She rocks. Just the right blend of confidence while knowing when she doesn't have a clue and needs to learn. Cheerful and helpful. Just the right person at the right time. And she has an infectious laugh. Gotta love the gal.

Thanks, Brisena- we'll have a great year.

My new partner in crime and I decided to freshen up some of our scratched up, dull bookshelves.

Took a trip to the local store and chose a paint color, and added in a few "accent" colors to our basket, along with plenty of tape and plastic drop cloth material. Painted. Accented. Here are the before, during, and after photos.
The folks who have seen the shelf have been positive so far. Except one. This person indicated that we were setting a bad example by showing students that it was okay to deface furniture by painting graffiti on it.

What do you think?

A Little Family Time On A Pretend Cruise

Art deco abounds on this grand lady. The bath tub has four knobs... The usual hot and cold, but a second set is there for hot and cold salt water.I had never been to the queen Mary, so we decided to make a getaway weekend of it. The four of us, alone, chumming up in a family stateroom. Very spacious.
