I'm "published"

I'm not sure what it's called when a piece of art is hung in someone's house, but whatever it is, that's how I feel. My dear friend liked my doodles so much she wanted them for her bathroom.  I feel so honored!

This is why I love kindergarten

I gave a student this puzzle as a writing prompt.




Translation:  First he was a ball.  Next he was a hot dog.  Last he was a frog.

When he read the sentences back to me he was perfectly content to believe that a hot dog could turn into a frog.  I guess I should have taken that opportunity to mention the vocabulary words egg and tadpole.

Mostly, I was drawn to the color and pattern...Guess I'll have to visit a cold place next winter.

Although my Stella must love it...she's basking in the sun.

I couldn't resist

This is one of the things I miss from Vienna


This is my favorite "American" version, but it usually comes in such a tiny bottle it doesn't seem worth it to buy it.  But when I noticed a large bottle, I couldn't help but buy it.


(I might like the American version better)
