Quick Successions: New Mexico Edition

Here are some pictures from when we went to Brian's class reunion in California in August. These aren't of the reunion, they are actually from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. The weather was so nice there and we had a really good time at the reunion with Brian's amazing friends.

Here are some pictures of my with people from my master's program. I will miss them, but I won't miss going to bed at 2 and getting up at 6.

Okay, so we have tile now. It actually looks pretty good. I painted the room and then we have to put some new baseboards. I am on my third week without laundry though. That is a pain.

Well, I guess this means that I have to admit that I have been out of high school for 10 years. But here are a few pictures of me and my old friends. I put more photos on my class reunion site and on Facebook.

We have been re-doing our laundry room and downstairs bathroom. We sort of cruised right through demolition and then stopped because we had to get a new water heater and we wanted to do the laundry room and this room at the same time. Here is our bathroom in its dilapidated glory. Hopefully I can post a picture of both places in a finished state soon.

The school year is over. The penultimate day of school is often spent at Lagoon, a local amusement park. Here is a picture of Brian and his friend Jethro, who teaches art at the junior high, but will be leaving to another school in the fall.

I review books for ALAN-The Assembly on Literature for Adolescents. This is a national organization affiliated with National Council of Teachers of English in which I hold office. Here is the link to ALAN Reviews. Depending on the month, I have a review in ALAN Picks. http://www.alan-ya.org
