  • Mongolian Beef Sheet Pan (GF option)

    Since I’m eating mostly gluten free, I haven’t eaten any Chinese from a Chinese restaurant since late January.  If I want any Chinese type food, I have to make my own or just lucky like I did in June when I found gluten free Asian food at the Wegman’s hot bar. So there has been…

  • Excuse Me, Ms. Jackson

    3. Write a post that begins and ends with the same sentence. I’m always saying I could write a book of stories from my teaching career. Today I was listening to Todrick Hall’s 4 the 2000’s when I heard some songs that remind me of my first couple of years of teaching. One of those…

  • Walt Disney Elementary, Park Avenue, and the Mall (Blog Post #2)

    Join me on Wednesdays for photos from my trip to Rochester, New York. After Molly, my friend, picked me up from the airport, we went to to the Walt Disney Elementary in the Gates-Chili School District.  I wanted a photo by the sign. I was shocked to find out the schools in New York were…

  • Remembering Tanya on the One Year Anniversary of her Death

    Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my sister’s death.  I honored her memory by releasing a balloon at a local park. I went to a local park to release the balloon instead of at her grave.  When I go to the Wegerzyn Gardens, I feel a lot of peace.  The gardens are absolutely gorgeous.…

  • Jellyfish and Interactive Walls – Day 2 Part 4

    Join me on Saturdays for posts about our South Carolina trip. Today is our last post from the Greensboro Science Center. Before we left for the day, we decided to walk through the aquarium.

    Whenever I backed up my car, I would have to make sure I did not run over a feral cat.

  • “I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane” (Blog Post #1)

    “Join me on Wednesdays for photos of my trip to Rochester, New York.”

  • Dearest Tanya, It’s been FOREVER since I last wrote to you.  Can you believe it’s almost a year since you gained your Heavenly body?  Okay, I don’t know if you actually have a body but I think you know what I’m talking about.  At least I hope you do. I’m typing this on your laptop.…
