March 2018 SOLSC 1/31 - Another Year and A Little About Me

Yikes, I can't believe it, but this will be my 7th year of writing in the SOL March Challenge.

My daughter, Michelle at  Literacy Zone started this challenge one year before me and urged me to join her and several of her co-workers to write every day for the month of March.  And, I'm sure as many of you are asking yourself - What did I get myself into?  What am I going to write EVERY day?  I asked those same questions and wondered and pondered and totally amazed myself that I could actually write "something" for 31 days and then continue each Tuesday thereafter.  And now, I'm starting my 7th year in this amazing community.  For those of you just beginning - YOU CAN DO IT!

For those who don't me, check out my post from last year - A Little About Me

I'm a wife, mother and grandmother of twin almost 8 year old granddaughters.  I'm retired after being an Administrative Assistant for over 45 years - no not a certified teacher.  My daughter assured me that I didn't need to be a teacher to share my thoughts and write.  And I didn't think that I had anything to write about, but this community of writers accepted me and encouraged me and have graciously left comments on my slices.  This is an amazing community.

Looking forward to reading many of your posts and learning more about each of you.

Happy Writing!

    All that is required is to live life and share a piece in writing and you do that exactly right. Hard to believe that it's been seven years. Happy writing!

    "And I didn't think that I had anything to write about, but this community of writers accepted me and encouraged me and have graciously left comments on my slices. This is an amazing community." How true. There are times I am still amazed that people read and respond to what I write because I feel I have nothing important to say. Looking forward to your stories.

    Welcome back! I started with you and have read many of your posts as well as your daughter's post over the years of blogging. It is hard to believe those babies of yours are 8! I guess that is why I blog....sporadically....to remember.

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...
