SOLSC 3/29/14 - Happy Birthday to our Special Daughter, Michelle

Today we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Michelle (at Literacy Learning Zone).  Check it out she might tell you how old she is. 

M - A miracle.  Michelle, a gift that God has given to us to cherish and raise.  We are so very proud of all that she has accomplished.  And now, she has two little miracles of her own.

I - Interested and interesting.  Michelle is always interested in learning more to help her girls and all those that she teaches.  Because she is interested, she is so interesting to listen to and learn from.

C - Caring.  Michelle is a nurturer.  She cares for her family, friends, co-workers, church members, students.  Always putting others before herself.  (Take time for yourself!)

H - Helper.  Michelle has always been my little helper, always wanting to please and help in any way.  She continues to be a helper today - to her hubby, her girls, her friends, students, ...

E - Exciting.  Michelle brings a story to life.  She makes teaching exciting so that her students will learn and love to read and write.  As she writes, she makes you a part of that story.

L - Loving.  Michelle's love for God makes her love for others shine. 

L - Literacy. You all know this about Michelle.  Her passion is to teach this to students and to help other teachers learn how to help their students.

E - Encourager.   Michelle always encourages everyone to do their best.  That special pat on the back or hug.   The smiles she gives make other smile back.   She encouraged me to write these slices and it has been such a great experience.

My wish for you, Michelle, on your birthday is that you will continue to grow, learn and teach.  That you will be happy and find much joy in all that you do.  Cherish each moment of every day.  I thank God that He gave you to us.  Happy Birthday Michelle.

    Thank you Mom. This is beautiful. It's always so special when someone else writes about me (because most of us focus on the areas we need or want to improve) so this was a delightful read this morning on my birthday! And funny that I posted right after you on TWT too! Thanks Mom and Dad (and perhaps Scott and Jen too for their help in writing this)! Love you all! And looking forward to celebrating this afternoon!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

SOS #26 - 10/1/20 - Little Pieces of Magic that have appeared in my life recently

Image
  We hear so much negativity and doubt that many become depressed in our country at this time.  It's time for us to look to the positive and find the magic that surrounds us.  Here's my list of Magic that I've discovered recently. A phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while A text message wishing me a great day A positive reply to my "thought for the day" for Michelle & girls A hug or two or three from Hubby.  And some hugs given to special friends. The delight in creating a greeting card to send to someone who needs lifting up The cool morning to take a long walk and contemplate the coming of Fall The turning of the leaves A beautiful sunrise and sunset with a full moon rising in the sky Shutting off the A/C and opening up the windows The smiles we can see in the eyes of those who wear masks Talking with a special 98 year old friend who looks forward to my weekly calls The sound of the wind chimes (they were given to us many years ago by Mic...
