5 Senses (Ruth’s SOLS)

Trying to think of a creative way to collect a slice today... Tomorrow I'm giving a minilesson in second grade about adding sensory details to writing, which leads me to collecting my favorite of each sense from today. I see Stephanie's new purple glasses. I hear Hannah's voice as she sings her latest original song.… Continue reading 5 Senses (Ruth’s SOLS)

Sunshine on a Plate (Ruth’s SOLS)

When I posted my photo on March first, I fully expected it to be the last of the snow. It's one of the things I like best about collecting slices throughout March -- we get to welcome Spring. For a few days Spring visited, but she is long-gone now. The wind is howling. The sky… Continue reading Sunshine on a Plate (Ruth’s SOLS)

“A” Collection (Ruth’s SOLS)

I collect the letter A. I think it's fun to hide them throughout the house and in my office at school. I like to tuck them into unexpected places. On top of a picture frame, above a door, beside a table lamp. Recently I gathered several of them and placed them on our mantel. I… Continue reading “A” Collection (Ruth’s SOLS)

Taking Care (Ruth’s SOLS)

My body has been speaking to me the past few weeks and it hasn't been very happy. My arms and legs tingling, my joints burning, and my muscles sore. After several tests bringing normal results, I began to worry. My everyday routine was significantly altered. Computer work was painful, writing with a pen impossible, exercise… Continue reading Taking Care (Ruth’s SOLS)

Writing in the Day (Ruth’s SOLS)

I'm drinking a perfect cup of tea and eating Saturday breakfast. Like always, Andy made it for me. Snuggled under a blanket with my laptop balanced on my knees, writing in the day. No plans for laundry or dusting or meal planning until later, much later. I'm burying myself in fiction, allowing the characters to siege my… Continue reading Writing in the Day (Ruth’s SOLS)

Fridays (Ruth’s SOLS)

I like Fridays not just because... I get to dress casual. It's the end of the work week. I come home to a clean house. We spend the evening with friends. I pick Sam up at the library. Everyone is more relaxed. But because tomorrow is Saturday.
