Well, truthfully, I have been very busy for me! Yes, you know I am the laid back type, who hates to run and do things. But this summer has been rather different. I can not say that I have been working hard. Everything I have done has been fun or at least okay. I did […]

The day has come and gone. Thank heavens, it was not a day of emotional upheaval. We hugged and cried quiet tears. We worked together to get through with everything. We helped each other. Then we met at Ms. Charlotte’s camp. It was nice. We had some food and visited. I got to talk to […]

I write this with a great big sigh of relief. Yesterday was the last and very stressful day. This is the first line I wrote at the end of the 2003-2004 school year. This year has made me wish that I was walking out the door and never coming back. Somehow I need to find […]

One of the wonderful things about blogs or journals is that you can go back in time and compare with today. I started mine in the spring of 2004 after my mother died. I can’t believe how much my life has changed during that time. I started in May of 2004 and it goes up […]

Picture this…1:30 in the morning, SOUND ASLEEP. Phone rings ….hmmm who could that be. Sleepily you answer the phone…..there is a woman on the other end… “Why are you calling my boyfriend, Brent’ (words something like that…remember we were sound asleep) “I don’t know a Brent….I did not call you….” I reply Woman: “Yes you […]

We will be attending a meeting on the last Wednesday of April after school. At this time they will go down the list and be giving each person a job offer. We will received an official paper prior to this, telling everyone where we are on the seniority list. We will be offered a job […]

Well, the official news is in. Henry Elementary is no more. There was no hope that they would try to keep it. Even the local people did not try to fight. The school has been close to exctinction for quite some time. Primarily because people who have pull really did not want it. No one […]
