First Day Creeping Up

Tuesday is the first day of school again, and September has snuck up on us again and smacked us in the butt. Have my room ready and am reworking my AP syllabus a bit. Want to keep those rascals challenged and keep a fresh feel to the class.

Went for a walk yesterday afternoon with my daughter and she said, "Oh, yuck!"

"What?" I asked.

She pointed at a smashed cicada or some sort of big bug in the road. "Look, road pizza."

Dinner with friends last night. Smoked ribs, cabbage and peach salad, pasta salad, tomato and cucumber salad and fruit and angel food for dessert. A meal fit for a royal family. I feel special.
