From the Outside Looking In…

OK, two entries in one day might just be a bit excessive, but this is exciting news!
Yes, sitting in my living room with a cup of tea I heard a knock at the door.  Wondering who it could be, I opened the door and they were there…sitting pretty in a box and waiting for their [...]

Yes, I have been absent from blogging for much of this past week but the days were filled with meeting after meeting and many challenges to find solutions to.  By the time I got home each night I made a direct move to the bedroom and ended up falling right to sleep!  This was, without [...]

Last night LC and I hosted an Oscar’s Party which was a tremendous success.  The place was packed as we feasted on such dishes as sage and prosciutto wrapped chicken breasts, homemade chocolate souffle that LC slaved over, bacon wrapped dates, goat cheese and eggplant towering salad, and even champagne to cleanse the palate after [...]

Today’s blog entry is being written with an additional set of eyes as LC watches the process that goes from idea and inspiration (his word!) and publishing.

Yes, you read that right.  I am sitting here, early in the morning on a nice Saturday, with 17 of my middle school students who have earned at least two detentions in one week.  As a result, they have earned the privilege of sitting with me in the auditorium of the school, listening to classical [...]

I think I said that to about 50 people today at work.  The sun is shining and even though we are dealing with a brief cold spell after a week or so of gawgeous temperatures there is much to smile about.  Sure, some days are tougher than others and that’s why a reminder to smile [...]
