#134 Like a Deck of Cards....52 of 'em

I pass by these mailboxes on my way to work. One of these days, I may just paint a sweet little watercolor of them. 52 in a row!

#133 Hippie Corn

This photo doesn't show the depth of the pan the popcorn is in....but it is HUGE and is filled with "hippie" popcorn. My daughter taught me how to make it: popcorn, Bragg's amino spray, nutritional yeast and dill weed. (Ah, maybe that's why it's called "hippie"....the "weed"!)
Anyway, I took some to school for myself one day and made the mistake of eating in front of the kids. I had a few bites and had to share the rest. ;o)
Ever since then, they have been begging me to make more. So today is Hippie Corn Day!

#132 4-Leaf Clover of My Own

I have been searching for a 4-leaf clover all school year. One morning, I was hooking the electric fence at the horses and looked down to find my very own 4-leaf clover! (Maybe there is some prophetic lesson here.) I'm glad I snapped this photo as Jack weed-whacked it down a couple weeks later!

#131 A Spot in the Woods

I look forward to seeing these leaves or whatever they are, sprout from the trunk of this tree each year. They freeze and die in the winter, or just shed. Obviously, I have no clue. I merely enjoy the beauty of this spot as I walk from our house to the horse barn.

#130 Fashion Show

The 2nd Annual Fashion Show and Tea was yesterday. I'd like to say it went off without a glitch, but there were several. Of course, they most likely didn't matter to anyone other than me, the organizer, you know how that goes.

The kids did a super job purchasing outfits at their favorite thrift store. The tables were set with glassware purchased at 2nd hand stores. Each table had a business sponsor and was decorated by the kids in honor of that sponsor.

It was a fun afternoon and I'm glad it is behind me, yet again. The main thing is the kids had fun.

#129 Jack's Wood Working

Jack is busy with so many projects. This is one of them: a bathroom vanity for our daughter's new addition. He will be making built-in book cases too and maybe some other work. We never know, with his talents! So here is his work shop with the vanity in progress.

#128 Spirit Week

Well, it was spirit weel and one day was "dress like a teacher" day. Many of the kids consider me a teacher, and I know I am, but just not a certified one. (Certifiably nutzo!)

So here are 3 of the kids who chose to dress up like me. (Yes, I wear peace signs of some sort every single day - have ever since we the day we invaded Iraq. Guess I'll be wearing them until the day we leave Iraq.)
