Fill Me in Fridays

Ashley's post wants to know what was the best birthday present. I have an Oct. birthday. It is difficult to say what was my best present, but the one thing I miss is having my "little girl" making me feel like a princess on my birthday. Ashley loved to make a big deal out of little things .... and make everyone feel so special.

Happy Birthday to my daughter, Ashley!

My daugher, Ashley, is 26 years old today. We always said she chose the first day of spring to be born, so that she could make a grand entrance!

Ashley went to a performing arts high school, here in Phoenix. In her senior year, she had to choreograph a piece to perform in their final performance. When she danced on stage, it was like watching smoke move across the stage.

I don't get to see her and her family as much as I would like (they live in North Dakota)but I get to talk to her everyday.

So, Happy Birthday, Sweet Baby!

Passings-Ms. Lucy

Last Friday, March 13th, I found out that one of our para-educators has given up her fight with cancer. Lucy helped get our school's library organized, as well as helping tutor students. Two of her granddaughters attend our school, so we have been very careful about discussing her at school.
I have to admit that when I found out, I didn't bring it up with any of the students. It was our last day before break and I wanted some time to go by before dealing with student questions. Although most of the students knew something was wrong when they saw our cafeteria manager sobbing.
We will all miss Lucy very much.

RLM jewlery

Anyone who knows me well, has seen my pieces of RLM (Robert Lee Morris) jewlery. I can't afford to buy the pieces he sells at his New York gallery, but QVC has a special line that he makes for them.
The evil QVC had Robert on yesterday and because so many of the pieces were selling out, they had easy pay offers for his last show. I couldn't resist the temptation and bought a watch (that I have been wanting for years) and another ring that won't be made again.
When the pieces arrive I will post pictures.

Correction about Fill Me in Fridays

I just needed to correct something on my last post. My daughter's blog site is Forever and Always, not Forever and Ever. She was kind enough to gently tell me I had made a mistake. So you might want to check out her blog....blessedbarnharst.blogspot.com

Fill Me in Fridays

Ashley at Forever and Ever has started a Fill Me in Fridays. This week, she is sharing her tips of what to do to save.

I am a 6th grade teacher and can't stand to see paper wasted. Many times we have to run off worksheets for students and I feel very guilty about doing it when I might have another way of students turning in their work.

I have a website for our students and have allowed them to post written homework assignments so that they don't have to worry about bringing the assignment to class. It saves time because I can grade it right away. It also saves paper. Students that have a difficult time remembering to bring their work to school, love being able to "turn it in" as soon as they are done.
