January Currently

I really love college football. This is fun time with my husband

My daughter was home from her job in NYC, my son home from Texas A&M. We spent lots of time with my brother and his family and our friends.  Christmas was relaxed and fun.

My life isn't perfect-- but I can see God's hand in it.

I love decorating the house--- but hate taking it down.

I really need to spend time in my closet--maybe that can be my summer job.

My family has always eaten homemade tamales for Christmas Eve.  This year Matt got us some from a little Mexican shack under a railroad bridge-- he swears they have a current health department inspection.  These were the best tamales ever--they were wrapped in banana leaves not corn husks!

Library Book Tree

Our library book tree got a new look this year. It has a dowel rod running down the middle to help support it.  I drilled a hole through the spine of each book and then threaded the dowel rod through them.  I also added battery operated wire lights---so much better than having to roll the book truck over the extension cord.  I'm not sure who enjoys the tree the most-- me, my students, the parents or the other staff!! 

Merry Christmas from the GCS Elementary Library!
