Day one, while registering him for school, the counseling office staff started asking him to join. He said yes-no-maybe. Again he was encouraged by the football coach, registration staff. He said yes-no-maybe.

Worse, every day, one or the other comes home with a tale about this teacher wants us to have an office supply or my battery ran out.

I decided to wake and get up with the kids, before they went to school and start right in. I've changed my habits, too.

Debbie started by claiming, "I was sooo ugly. Everyone agreed. Red hair, freckles, and glasses." I, quieter than her, merely denied it. "No way. I was.

I always took a small nail and pounded it into the wall and hoped for the best. He makes it a work of art.

Also had 4 pea pods survive the predator pickings. Our best success has been the cucumbers and tomatoes that are just coming ripe right now. Also, we have a full load of grapes, but unfortunately too many moths with them. Sheri Fresonke Harper's Journal TagsNothing has been tagged yet |
