Music Monday – “But I want old men making my whiskey/I want old men singing my blues/I want old men teaching my horses/’Cuz there’s just some things, young men can’t do/Like the old boys do”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Naive We Were (School Year 2016-2017)

As June comes to an end, I have to post this meme I recently rediscovered. It’s funny how dabbing, fidget spinners and bottle flipping were the biggest issues a teacher had to deal with a few years back! I’m not up to doing a full photoshop job but can only imagine the updated version of […]
