• A stroll down memory lane

  Ahhhhh……It’s so relaxing to be back at my favorite blogspot of all time (Starbucks). *Stretches fingers* By the way, yes, I took each of these photos, making a collage on http://www.picnik.com.  Sadly, Picnik’s website will close on April 19.  Oh, how I’ll miss you so.

During a previous post, I talked about not letting go of your dreams.  Well, after writing that, it fueled me to pass on that lesson to my kids (students).  In August, I purchased the “Dream” wall decal for…
