Musings...

Fernbank Follies. Number 12. The last in our current building as the building will be razed next year to rebuild into a larger, more current, up-to-code version while we are re-housed at another school. How do I feel about that? Very co...nflicted...It will be wonderful having a new stage, a larger venue...but so many memories on those old "boards". How do I feel? Well, the children will ever be the wonderful children that have passed over those boards for all these many years. How do I feel? Just imagine about 12 third grade boys rockin' it "gangnum style" as the closing act and then one by one skipping back to me at the sound booth each handing me a pink tulip. How do I feel? WONDERFUL!!!

Just like you're 'sposed to...

Little Charlie comes up to me today, throws his little first grade arms around me, gives me a BIG hug and says, "You look so skinny...just like you're spose to." I say, "Thank you, Charlie, that's a real encouragement to me!". He replies, "Well you do, you really do!". Then a final squish and skips down the hall to the gym. That boy is going to make a really good husband one day!

Happy 2013!

I love starting a new year...this holiday, candles have just really made me happy, peaceful, cozy, warm...words that can't really express the feeling but will have to do. 

I spent this morning putting the decorations away and arranging my FIVE (yay!) new candle presents on my mantle. Then taking pictures of them and culling pictues from other sources for my desktop backgrounds (which I found if you put them all in a folder, you can have them shuffle!! double yay!). 

Here's my own from this morning...which is your favorite?
