Summer Camp Memories
Got back from camp on Thursday. I know, I know, it’s Sunday… I’ve been busy. We had a ton of fun! The kids were super and it was better than I could have ever expected. We did about fifty thousand skits. I even got to be a cheerleader. Twice! Good times, I tell ya! I […]

Hectic
It’s a very hectic time right now. I’m taking two classes, one at Salem College and one at Winston-Salem State. They are both rather intense. In fact, I have a midterm this morning for the WSSU class, and it’s only the third class (and third to last class!). Tomorrow I take the Praxis 2. In […]

Red 991 Heaven
Today, when I arrived at home, I was greeted by my husband and our faithful companion, Lucy. Lucy was wearing her hiking pack and was rambunctious, and I assumed that Derek had gone on a walk with her. I sat down to eat my [warmed over] dinner and Derek pointed out that there was something […]
