A Firestone High School reunion committee meeting and get together

Debbie Lopez was here from Mexico – she is our tech person and writer of fun and inviting emails

Charlie Duvall showed up like a Harley biker vision of amazement

Anita was at her first meeting

Dodie joined our group

We are looking for an interesting and fun venue

King School Centennial – Debbie and I went at the end of it

It was great for her to see the new school for the very first time

Dyan, daughter-in-law and principal was happy with the event

These represented two of my schools of yore!

Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings!

The many miracles of snow drops, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils and more!

Blooming bushes and trees – magnolia, cherry, azaleas, dogwoods and more

The promise of gardening around the corner!

Feeling so hopeful as Spring unfolds.

Sitting at my Hollywood writing desk and looking out the window as my precious dogwood buds proceed!

Let’s hear it for Spring! Hip hip hooray!

The decorating theme is cheerful.

Our yard is a double lot and is my gardening playground!

Tutoring reading this morning in fourth grade!

I love the book we are reading:

“The Spiderwick Chronicles”

I read the first one and got two more at the library today.

And today I got a much awaited book at the library:

“In the Form of a Question” by Amy Schneider

I came home and read for the afternoon!

She’s my favorite Jeopardy contestant and she’s a great writer!

Got a speaker to play music on my cell phone today – hooray!
