I’m back from Chapel Hill

Yesterday I went to Chapel Hill with Matthew.  We had quite an adventure.  We went to find a place to stay for the summer.  We also went to visit daycares.  First we visited an apartment complex.  It was a pretty dirty place and I hoped that was the worst of it.  It was!
Next we went […]

The Table Where Rich People Sit

I just wanted to write a short post about my favorite children’s book.  It is titled, The Table Where Rich People Sit.  It is written by Byrd Baylor, which happens to be my favorite author.  I always start the school year out by reading this story to my students.  It is about a girl who […]

Boysenberry wheat beer is done

The Boysenberry Wheat Beer is done.  Steph and I tried one, it was OK.  Truthfully, I was expecting it to be better, I really like wheat beer.  We only tried a little 12 ounce bottle, and it seemed to be way too carbonated.  Tomorrow the neighbors are coming over to hang out and try the […]
