Shoe Shopping

Hannah and I like to try on shoes at stores with outlandish prices. Every once in a while there is a good pair on clearance for a screamin' deal. This little girl picked these shoes herself and put them on while I was trying one of a similar color. She was a little disappointed to leave them behind. I did find her a good pair of dress shoes through ... at children's shoe store. I am posting two versions: One where you can see the delight in her eyes close up and one where you can see two other women in the background musing at her cuteness.

Hi Mary! Cute blog--easy with a cute little girl like your Hannah! I was trying to find your email address b/c I am trying to find some answers for an ESL colleague. I remember you from a edu research class with Roni Jo Draper, assorted ESL meetings, etc. You may or may not remember me. That is okay. Please email me at glorihsmith@gmail.com

Thanks, Glori Smith

The Year-Long January

The joke is that January is the longest month of the year. I thought it went quickly. Classes started and winter cold set in. We went to the eye doctor and Hannah waited for the doctor so long, she grew a beard.  Ultimately she decided on glasses that would make her look like Supergirl. I think she really pulled it off. All month I was on pins and needles about the government shutdown trying to decide if it was safe to fly to a conference. Luckily for me, the poor TSA workers and federal folks were able to get back to work. However, the planes I took (4 in all) were mostly empty and I got a row to myself. There was also a polar vortex that didn't help air travel looks appealing. I got there late at night and the room they had left was a large hotel suite. I took it. My colleague Michael Dunn and I divided our presentation up. We both did well. I also found a few good folks from Kansas. Then, I left Indy. When I wasn't worki...

Graduation and Mother's Day

 It was my turn to help with activity night at church so I brought my graduation robes and so forth and let the little girls take turns all dressed up.

Here is my custom drawn picture.
