Oh Say Can You See

your American future?

Wlll it soon become

The Rocket’s red glare

The bombs bursting in the air

McCain’s hawkish view

of free that will bite

Bite us for our arrogance

or will it soon be

Green, resourceful pride

that common people wish for

daily in their thoughts

Changes by Barack

Think HARD, the choice is coming

Vote for YOUR future

Wordless Wednesday-Unplanned Twins

Weddings…

Make me cry…it doesn’t matter whose wedding it is…it could be a 3rd cousin or distant relative or a friend of a friend…I SOB. 

I’m not quite sure I know why.

Most of the time I believe it is because I am actually excrutiatingly happy for the couple.

Sometimes I think I am so excited that things worked out for the couple…knowing what they went through to get to their ’special moment’.

Sometimes I think it is because I feel like they are making a huge mistake…rushing into something they don’t really understand…doing it because that is what they are supposed to do, after all!

Sometimes, I think I cry because I envision the future, what wonderful potential they have as a couple to make marvelous thing happen for themselves and any kids they might choose to have.

The bottom line is that I ALWAYS cry. 

MY best friend’s daughter got married this weekend and I cried…  These were the ecstatically happy tears since I’ve know this wonderful young woman since the day she was born and followed her ups and downs her entire life.  This was a moment I would not have missed for ANYTHING…and Carrie was GORGEOUS….see for yourself……

My SENIORS!

My SENIORS!

I can’t resist….I DO LOVE my students….they energize me; they make me smile; they make me do better as a teacher; they ‘complete me’ (groan…I know!)
