Coffee Break–Volume 99
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Scholastic Book Fair Sham–Er Uh Sale. It’s that time of year again–the Scholastic Book Fair. For those without school age children, this is where a large space is set up inside the school for a whole week with books to purchase. But not…
Coffee Break–Volume 98
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Yard Work. It’s that precarious time of year, when we Coloradans make attempts to bring our hopelessly dead looking yards back to life. In between snow storms we scurry about like a triage unit in desperate efforts to create some sort of greenery during our…
Coffee Break–Volume 97
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. E-Learning…..again. My boys are home for online school again. There was an increase in Covid cases at our school and with each case a two week quarantine for the entire class–teachers and all. It didn’t take long to do the math–there just weren’t…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. BAYLOR!!! Did you hear? The Baylor men’s basketball team won the National Championship for the first time ever. I’ll be honest, I don’t follow basketball–college or pro–very closely, but there’s always something about March Madness that draws my attention. When I heard that…
Coffee Break–Volume 93
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Birthday Boy #2. My second born, Grayson, is one of the most excitable people I know. He belly laughs out loud, he squeals with excitement, and when he’s upset–everyone knows about it. He lives life out loud. Since his birthday comes second, he goes…

Coffee Break–Volume 91
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Our own sledding hill. Just before spring break, we got another dumping of snow–complete with wind, so it created magical drifts everywhere. It’s not so great for driving in, but it made for one heck of a fun sledding ramp in our front…
