Vin Scully Day
Last night I watched the celebration of the 67 year career of Vin Scully. Amazing! He definitely is the voice in my head when I am at a ball game; he could make the great word pictures and where ever I was I was instantly transported to the ballpark as I listened to Vin call…
National Days
Today is one of my Favorites – National S’mores Day! Once, when we were on a camping trip with students, someone forgot to bring the graham crackers and all we had for the s’mores was double stuff Oreos. That was the beginning of a creative love affair with that snack! I don’t remember when I…

Well begun is half done
When I was a child, I was enchanted by the music and the magic of the film Mary Poppins. She was my heroine. I wanted to live in a world where toys cleaned up after themselves and carousel horses left the merry-go-round. I listened to the 33 1/3 album that my mom got from Necco…
