Holiday Season 2014 - Tree Is Done!


The tree is finished!

Holiday Season 2014 - Cigars with Mike

Mike and I had a chance to catch up today. I havn't seen him since our high school reunion back in October. He's been putting in a lot of extra teaching time in lately so it's been hard to make plans. Glad that we both have vacation at the same time over the next couple weeks.

Holiday Season 2014 - 4 Days Until Christmas


Holiday Season 2014 - Sandi's Holiday Party

Last night Sandi, a colleague, held her annual Christmas party.  It's always a fun time and she invites quite a number of people from school.  Every year she serves spaghetti, after having worked on the sauce for a few days in advance, and has guests bring either an appetizer, salad, or dessert.  I brought a veggie tray.  I ran into Ann, a retired Kindergarten teacher who was also my bus duty buddy for a number of years.  I had a chance to speak to other colleagues as well and we all commented on how nice it is to chat as we're always caught up with the busy-ness of work when at work. 
Sandi's party features a carol sing-along. This year her son accompanied on trombone and one of his old high school friends played tuba.

Holiday Season 2014 - Holiday Season Cigar

It was unseasonably warm today. 50 degrees to be exact. I took advantage of the situation and lit up in the back yard.

Holiday Season 2014 - Ellis' Christmas Pageant



Godson Ellis' Christmas production this morning. It was incredibly cute and funny. It was the traditional story with some funny anachronisms. Ellis played a sheep and also performed Hark, The Herald Angels Sing as a piano solo. He was great. Children's Christmas pageants are as down home and sweet as small town 4th of July parades.
