I was talking to my parents this week and they said they had a great crop of apples this year. Dad offered to send me some dried apples – and he did! Dried apples, actual apples, and also candy! They didn’t mention anything about the bumper Milky Way crop. Good thing there wasn’t a late freeze this past spring.

I think I left my iPad at work.
It’s 10:15 p.m. and I am not going back for it. Rats. I even had post fodder.
Tomorrow is another day. Happy Saturday!
Cut it out
This summer I came across a cool idea from a Reggio-inspired blog. It showed a classroom where the teacher had a beautiful arrangement of each child’s initial. They were plain letters purchased from a craft store, and each child got to paint and decorate theirs on their birthday, resulting in an ever-changing, lovely display that inspires literacy.
Um. So cool, but….I am cheap. I have no time or disposable money for letters. However, I also have a coping saw and some left-over lumber and am in no big rush to get this job done. We have been working on ours for weeks. Some of us are go-getters with the saw. Some of us (I’m looking at you, Nora), saw for ten seconds then slump to the ground saying, “I’m tired”.
It’ll get done. Eventually. We’ve already missed six birthdays.
Excuses
I had a meeting last night so I forgot to post. The next few weeks are going to be like that – meetings and conferences – so I apologize in advance for either the lack of posts or the super-awful (worse than usual posts).
In other news, I understand the Cubs won last night. While I have no baseball affiliation, I am a fan of the underdog. Way to go, Cubs!
