Friday Fun Link – Book Vending Machine Encourages Students To Attend, Improve Marks, and Be Kind

Music Monday – “Well, there’s people and more people/What do they know-know-know/Go to work in some high rise/And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah”

Saturday Snap – All I Want For Christmas…

…is an $18,000 piece of art! But I should back up… After picking up Sasha for her art class (she’s decided she wants to be an artist or art teacher when she grows up), we all went to Pile of Bones Brewery intending to have a Saturday afternoon beer/soda.  But it was packed so we […]
