Mrs. G.'s class

I know they learned about similes and metaphors today, I just don't know how they went from Paul Bunyan's blue ox Babe to there!

Coop Art: Seahorses

It was great to be back in art class at co-op! My students were eager to get back to their art work, and as usual achieved wonderful results! Here is sample of both Jr. High and High School.

Signing a petition

Some things are just plain unacceptable. Imagine if an offensive statement was made against by a government official against a religious leader from another denomination... it would be all over the media. Why can people bash the Pope, in prejudice and ignorance, and get away with it?

I signed. Join me!

Books I have been reading...


This is a volume that is more interesting to me for the personal accounts of how the authors became writers, than how they became great detective writers.








Saint Teresa of the Andes, an uplifting and new story for me!






The latest McCall Smith--which I am not reading yet since it's coming out in March, but am proud to say I have already put on hold at the library's pre-order page.





The newest Smith that is out, continuing with the chronicles of life in Edinburgh.






...and last but not least a very special first two chapters... of a book that is in its beginning stages, written by one of my sisters.

I still remember the first time I realized I was reading five books at once--at 12 years old!
