Conversation with Students

I had a small group of 5th grade girls hanging out in the library last week. One of the girls said she she could not believe she had not read one of the books until she was 10 years old - then she said "Can you believe that?"

My answer was "Yes, I can believe that because I didn't read it until I was 50 something."

The next thing, I see the girls in a huddle whispering. I hear one of the girls saying something about me being "that old". So, I speak up and say "Is there a problem girls?"

Rachael, the spokeswoman says "No offense, but we did not think you were that old - we thought you were like 45 or something much younger....."

Hmmm, what would she say if I didn't cover all this grey hair?

Weekend Ramblings

I had a rather pleasant, non-eventful day. Nice chat with Leanne, shopping at a little gift shop in Lakeside where I bought gifts for my Zaar L & M swap partner. Everything I purchased began with the letter L or M. Enjoyed a late lunch at the Subway in Lakeside. When I arrived home I found a box from Jacqueline and a book I ordered from bookswap.com. I packed Jacqueline's box and and opened the box from her. When her 2nd box arrives, I'll post photos here.

I took Duke for a walk tonight. The first block was rather rough - he wants to be the alpha dog. If I let him get his way, one of my arms will be pulled out of the socket. I don't need that grief. I convinced him I was incharge and the next three blocks were terrific. We passed our street and he started pulling again. I should have gone back home but decided to give him a chance. Oh boy! He sure is stubborn.

Coffee was ready when I got home. I added a little Baileys, Kahlua & Frangelica to my first cup. I'm going to sleep good tonight. Time to do some reading & more relaxing.

Hmmm, didn't do any housework at all today - darn. Better do some laundry tomorrow and get some groceries after church.

I wonder when I will hear from Stephanie - hopefully soon.....
