We have had a rainy January and February.  All this rain reminded me of this poster I made a couple of years ago.  As a teacher, I don’t always appreciate the rain.  It makes life a lot more difficult in the classroom. Even if it only rained at night and on the weekends the playground…

Life is full of choices like this.  It is too bad that we so often  complain about the thorns instead rejoice over the roses. This last weekend I listened to a presentation about being positive.  They recommended that we choose positive friends to be around.  That made me wonder if I would be chosen as…

I took this picture at Monterey Bay Aquarium.  They had a beautiful display of jellies.  They have now been replaced with seahorses.  Just as great, but much more difficult to photograph.  There is less light and the seahorses move more.  So I keep trying and I may get lucky! This poster I created for myself…

This morning as I was walking to school, I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise.  This picture is from a couple of years ago, but this morning’s was just about as beautiful. When you stop and think about it, there is no logical reason why a sunrise or sunset needs to be so beautiful.  God gave us…

The rain has been pouring down all week.  I am finding that the day seems awful long with 14 students stuck inside! So glad I have all you as my friends.  So here is a bouquet to cheer up your dreary winter day and to say thanks for your friendship

This poster is one with a little humor for your week.  But it does have a message for me.  It is so easy to place our faith in things and people around us.  Then when things get crazy, we feel like we’ve been let down and our world turned upside down. When we put ourselves…

I took this picture a few years ago when I was in Bergen, Norway.  It wasn’t until much later that I noticed what was behind this live golden statue,  McDonalds, which is also called the “golden arches.”   I  remember  how frustrated I was in trying to get an appropriate backdrop.  I finally gave up…

This week my poster is about peace.  I think that is something we all want.  World peace would be nice, lack of conflict in our own lives would be even nicer. The peace that I want the most is when you are in the middle of any kind of problem, you know that God is…

I am having so much fun putting this blog together!  I want to publicly thank my son, Leo, for all his hard work.  I dream up my crazy ideas and requests and he “magically” makes them happen. This is another poster I  made several years ago.  It seems to have “hit the spot” for people. …
