March SOL 1/31 - A little about Me

As we begin this journey thru the March SOL Challenge, here's a little about me:

I Am....

1.  A Child of God
2.  A wife to Len (you'll learn more about him this month)
3.  A daughter and sister
4.  A mother and grandmother (you already know about Michelle & the girls, but there will be more to share)
5.  A writer (although I never thought of myself as a writer, this will be my 6th year of writing slices)
6.  A crafter (I love to make greeting cards and scrapbook, crochet and have tried my hand at quilting and whatever else strikes my fancy)
7.  A reader (mostly mysteries, historical and Christian books, but I'm always looking for recommendations)
8.  A volunteer (I enjoy helping others)
9.  A mentor (working with 3rd graders)
10. A traveler (planning on doing more this year)
11. Mother of Max, our dog (he'll be sharing some slices this month)
12. Not a certified, trained teacher, but a teacher none the less
13. A Stephen Minister
14. Retired from administrative and financial work
15. Filled with JOY (my OLW for 2017)

    Welcome back to year #6, Mom! So happy to be on this writing journey with you again. It's never easy, but it's always fun to hear your voice on the pages of your blog. :) You are all these and so much more! You are adored and I'm thankful for your listening ear and thoughts and ideas about life! Happy writing! Love you, me

    Welcome back! I'm looking forward to hearing from Max this month - how fun!

    We were just talking about identity the other day at a PD I was leading, and this post is a perfect composite of your various identities. You're so many things - each with their own meaning and importance.

    Looking forward to reading your stories this month!

    So many roles listed and I will bet you could list many more. Life gives us many roles to play. Every one of those roles has a slice inside it. There would be 15 ideas for you to write about. Here's to another year!

    So much to know, Judy, a nice way to begin sharing. It's almost a way to think about the writing you will do from your life. Happy March!

    Judy, even though we followed each other for years, I learned a few things today. I love list slices like this. And Chloe and I can't wait to read what Max has to say!

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...
