Somehow I have the Bangles' song, "Manic Monday," rattling around in my head this morning. Truth be told, I was under the weather most of the day yesterday and could use one more day at home. Alas, it's 5:17 a.m. and I need to get ready to head into work. I digress... It's time to… Continue reading It’s just another Memoir Monday, oh-uh-wo…

Teaching about September 11th, 2001 is… Continue reading A Day of Rememberance

M.M.: Newport
My first trip to Newport, RI occurred when I was seven or eight years old. It rained. The entire time. Mansion tour memories are clouded up with memories of rain. It was so rainy that my parents and I left early. Therefore, my Newport memories weren't all that great. In 2004, I visited Newport again… Continue reading M.M.: Newport

Memory Boxes

In fact, I hadn't even heard of this Mem Fox Book until last week when my mother-in-law, a former first and third grade teacher… Continue reading Memory Boxes

I couldn't blame him after realizing that there was some out-of-the-ordinary events. Five years ago I found myself in Alaska at the Alaska… Continue reading Upcoming Inspiration for M.M.
