One of my favorite movie experiences was taking all four of you to see Igor in the movie theatre! Thank goodness, I had already seen the movie once so taking Bea to the bathroom (twice) wasn’t that big a deal. We had popcorn, candy, and drinks and just seemed to be celebrating being together. I…
Purity probably remembers when she slept over and we watched the movie, Forest Gump. Then we went to Bubba Gumps for dinner one night when we went to LA. All the tables had signs on them that said, “Run Forest, Run!” To make the waiter or waitress come by, you just changed the sign to…
Labor Day Weekend has begun! I’m so glad to have three full days of quiet and relaxation to look forward to. I’m not grading anything, or organizing anything. No specific plans but to rest, rest, rest. I took myself out to dinner tonight: Red Lobster has a crab fest going on. I doubt you both…
Well, another September is here: my birthday month. And if I could have ANY wish, my first wish would be to see/hug my two beautiful sisters. That will be my wish when I blow out my candles on September 19th. Every other wish pales in comparison. It will be great to have the cooler…
For my sweet Purity, who has shown some interest in baking and cooking. And to Bea who probably remembers making cookies in my kitchen. I cannot bake without thinking about either of you. Find a little art somewhere in your day today. You are both so loved. Have a great day!

I’m sure you are uber sick of eighties songs. This is a very cool song by DNCE – “Cake by the Ocean.” Enjoy!
Today was a good day. One of my students brought in cupcakes for his birthday. I got up super early to work. And I need to do that again the next three mornings to catch up with my grading. I’m a bit behind at work due to all my time getting eaten up by the…
God is a constant friend. And I pray to him everyday that you are both happy and well. You just have to keep believing that things will get better. Being a teenage gal can be so irritating – I know. It won’t last forever. It just feels like it will. One of my Facebook friends…
I found out today that a wonderful actor, named Gene Wilder, died. He was an amazing character actor who starred in movies like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the older version), Blazing Saddles and The Frisco Kid. In the Frisco Kid, he plays a rabbi who needs to travel across the Anerican West to…
