Our Word of the Week

that I added to the fish bowl on my desk

is...

resolution

1. a promise to yourself that you will make a serious effort to do something that you should do  2. the point in a story at which the main conflict is solved or ended.

ah ha!

Because of one very curious cat named Calvin (see previous post), I've been unable to put plants and/or flowers inside our home.  I've been wanting to add a little green in the corners of a few rooms and this might be the solution!

After stumbling across this "indoor herb garden"at Pinterest, I was inspired.  I figure Calvin can't nibble on the plants if they't too high for him to reach.  I also love the idea of hanging a few plants from the ceiling.

a great letter

things i love about this letter

the writer (a boy) used a magenta colored pencil

he isn't afraid to ask for what he wants

the fancy "D" in his Dear 

an empathetic voice

and self awareness

three thousand miles

my first christmas

without snow tingling air

and white clouds of breath

as soon as you step outside

my first christmas

without stockings in the new room

and obeying granny's morning rule

no presents before eight thirty!

my first christmas

without eggs benedict on an english muffin

sitting in grandaddy's study

playing backgammon with lucky dice

is...

blessing

1. thing conducive to happiness 2. grace said at a meal

busted

i didn't do my homework

i'm done, i'm toast, it's true

i didn't do my homework

just X me out, i'm through

i didn't do my homework

a report on hester prynne

i didn't do my homework

i have nothing to turn in

i didn't do my homework

well, that's not exactly right

i did do all my homework

and stayed up late last night

my homework was completed

but still, i'm digging my grave

the essay, it was perfect

although i never hit save
