I need to share something with my extended family here. I am so proud tonight I can hardly explain it. My daughter graduated from the University of Oregon education Dept. tonight. She got her master's degree! She starts in Sept. as a 3rd grade teacher. She made it all the way through 5 years of college with a 4.0 grade. I could hardly take pics because I was happy crying. The world is a funny place. 2 of her grade school teachers are now principals and want her to teach at their schools, so she shouldn't be out of work anytime soon. I don't know where she got so smart, but we are so happy right now.

i still remember my third grade teacher.. you?

I remember most of my grade school teachers, especially the nun that liked to use the wooden ruler across the back of my hands! I deserved it I am sure. My wife and DD are at the coast this weekend with DD's dog Sadie. They were sitting on the deck of the cabin up on a hill sipping coffee this morning watching over 30 gray whales playing just offshore while heading south. I was turning my compost pile and building a new raised bed. Wondering who was having a better time?
