Miss Lily's reading teacher retired this year.  We love Alice and will miss her dearly.  As a going away gift Alive presented Lily with Yoda Man.  Yoda lived on top of Alice's desk and routinely Lily would bop Yoda's head before ending class.  Now Yoda lives near our front door and before leaving....you got it....Lily bops Yoda on the head.  Yoda Man Alice xo

At the end of each day we gather as a family and reflect on our day and say what we are thankful for.  Today I'm thankful for our Meyer lemon tree in front of our yard.  I especially like adding it to my firewater.

Isn't this cool?  It's a pillow case that I found years ago.  I've never really used it as a pillow case.  I've hung it up a couple of times.  It's a great art piece for the wall.  Very folk art.  I'm just amazed at the detailed worked that someone put into it.  Totally a labor of love.  Anyways I've been thinking of adding it to the shop.  I think it's time for it to go to someone else to appreciate.

There is this breakfast place that we frequent quite a bit.    It's particularly small, with about 6 tables, one lovely cook name Sue and one waitress.   So the wait is often long but we don't mind.  We know once we're seated we can be assured of a yummy meal.

The last day of school for my Son.  Someone cleverly drew a amoeba heart on the white board.  Cute... you get an A+.
