Today is school day !! I really missed the kids last week
A few of you have asked about what I teach.
Our volunteer program teaches hands on science in classes at schools where the majority of the students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. A wonderful part of the program is teaching nutrition by teaching the kids how to grow vegetables and fruits and enjoy them.
We also bring different fruits & veggies into classroom for the kids to try
lol Yeah that means this "selective eater" gets stuck trying them too I tried the "I will wait to make sure everyone can have seconds" line
So know that you know what I do on "School Wednesdays" and why I am always in rush to get to the school, I better hurry up and ask

I am the "Super Snoozer". Whenever I go for a drive I almost always pull over somewhere and take a nap. Once last year I was driving from New Jersey to Baltimore. It usually takes me about 2 hours. I pulled into a rest stop for a short snooze. I woke up 3 hours later

Yes I do, Style never bother me as I think most of my clothes don’t change like women’s do. I have a few sweaters I like which I save, and I even have rescued a few sweaters Mrs. Cncracer was sending to good will from her collection which I like on her and will save till they are acceptable again. As for size I keep a sixe larger and smaller as I shift back and forth. I think I am now headed back to the smaller size which is where I would like to be.

I think I have, Mrs. Cncracer has tried lots of English foods, and all I think I am missing is blood pudding.

I try not to; we don't have enough storage in this house even for things that are in daily use, let alone hanging on to things I can't use.

That happens any time our cat gets into something containing grains. He's very fond of crackers, but he can't digest any grains at all. When he does sneak a nibble of cracker, the wheat starts fermenting when it reaches his gut, and the result is unquestionably the nastiest, foulest, most appalling gas I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. He's been known to clear an entire houseful of people on a snowy January day when he gets going.

Yup, nearly four decades ago, when I visited England.
