I woke up from my nap as the car turned into the cemetery yesterday morning. It was a crisp, sunny fall morning, not much different than the morning we laid my Grandmother to rest last year. My father navigated the car through the twists and turns of the cemetery, not stopping at the Administration Office.… Continue reading My M.M. Post

Stacey’s M.M. Post: Baseball
"Peanuts for sale! Get your fresh hot-roasted peanuts for sale!" I hollered. "How much?" asked my Grandfather, indulging my childhood play. "Fifty cents," I replied. "Oh, that's a good deal Morris. Buy two!" My grandmother replied. "Here's one dollar Staceleh," my grandfather said. "Thank you sir," I said as I handed him the imaginary bags… Continue reading Stacey’s M.M. Post: Baseball

Stacey’s M.M.: Childhood Things I Still Wonder About

Translation Gadget
I started a classroom blog for my in-coming class since it seemed easier than re-creating a new wiki. I've only posted a handful of times, but added a bunch of gadgets to the "Safe Sites" Page earlier this evening.

Stacey’s M.M. Post: Growing Up… Literally
(I'm using Ruth's "I Remember" Memoir Post from last week to help me set up my post today. I figured this would be a nice way to show how other teachers' writing can help inspire our own writing.) I remember learning that you were your tallest in the morning. I remember being measured every year… Continue reading Stacey’s M.M. Post: Growing Up… Literally

Ruth’s MM: My Brother.
Last night I was looking through some of my original posts, trying to find the words to match a picture. Along the way, I ran across this post about when my brother and I were little.

Stacey’s MM Post
I remember giggling about it with my cousin Jared about three years ago. I remember shaking my head in disbelief when I heard her say, "This is going to be my last trip to Paris." I remember telling my great-aunt, straight to her face, that I didn't believe a word she said. She smiled and… Continue reading Stacey’s MM Post

Stacey’s SOLSC: Six Months
I heard a knock upon our door. I didn't get up. Then, the keys turned in the lock. It was Marc. I didn't get up because I was scanning something with chipboard, therefore holding down the lid so that it would scan as seamlessly as possible. He came over and said, "These are for you."… Continue reading Stacey’s SOLSC: Six Months

M.M. Inspiration/Charge
Grandpa seemed startled when we arrived! Originally uploaded by teachergal I love surprising people, especially family members. Hence, when I looked through my Grandma’s photo album this morning (I’m in the midst of preserving family photos since her albums are not exactly a scrapbookers’ dream at-present.) I discovered photos from the time my parents and… Continue reading M.M. Inspiration/Charge

Thomas Sweet: The Evolution of My Blend-Ins
My father began taking me to Thomas Sweet Ice Cream Shop when I was around six or seven years old. He introduced me to Blend-Ins, which is ice cream that is blended with candy in a special machine. YUM! I started off with Sweet Cream Ice Cream and blended-in Oreos, Plain M&M's and Reese's Peanut… Continue reading Thomas Sweet: The Evolution of My Blend-Ins
