Friday, November 18, 2022 It was an interesting day, but the most exciting part was when our new grandniece, Hattie, was born tonight. She was making her mom wait for extra days, so they went to the hospital last night for some medical encouragement. It was fun to check all through the day today, waiting […]
Thursday, November 17, 2022 I had a doctor’s appointment and a dentist appointment today. Mmmm. Why did I apostrophe doctor and not dentist? Dentist’s appointment. That doesn’t sound right at all. Doctor appointment. That’s okay, but not what I say. Anyway, I saw medical professionals today and celebrated that my co-teacher is back until Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 16, 2022 The first week was hot and we couldn’t figure out how to get the glass onto the stick and out of the fire. The second week we tried to make cylinders that turned out like marshmallows, and I didn’t even get a turn because we were so slow and confused. Tonight,

Tuesday, November 15, 2022 When I started teaching Human Geography in September, we talked about the world population and that it was expected to turn over 8 billion people in mid-November. It was official today – 12 years after we got to 7 billion, we hit 8 billion. Wow. Since it seemed pretty monumental, I

Sunday, November 13, 2022 We were in a liquor store. 🙂 We are trying to reproduce a beer cheese soup we had at a restaurant, so we needed beer. The recipe called for Leinenkugel’s Red Lager. The store did not have that. I called my cooking, sometimes beer drinking sister for advice. We bought other

Saturday, November 12, 2022 Today was a catch-up, clean up kinda day. Keith had a rehearsal in River Falls in the morning and I had the brilliant motivation to clean up our bedroom, which has been looking decidedly stirred (you know, like a giant took the roof off the house and just stirred). Suitcases from

Friday, November 11, 2022 Woodbury High School put on a very nice program for Veteran’s Day. Teachers were given a nice introduction to read to the students before they went to the assembly. It explained what Veteran’s Day is, and what appropriate behavior was expected. I was extremely impressed with the students. Many of them
Thursday, November 10, 2022 We went to see Woodbury High School’s production of Anything Goes tonight. I enjoyed it thoroughly. None of my current students were in it, but I recognized lots of kids from having had them at Woodbury Middle. It was great fun to see the whole cast tap dancing to close out
Wednesday, November 9, 2022 Glass class #2! Tonight, we weren’t just using the blast furnaces to heat our glass – the glory holes were on, too. They are smaller ovens that we can use to reheat or keep our glass hot. What a relief over last week when we had to go so fast! Everything
