Pictures From Tremont
About a month ago I ran a 5K in Tremont,and as promised, here are a few of the pictures I took.
Three New Bulletin Boards
I’m playing school age teacher for the rest of the summer. Our school age teacher quit. So, I moved up front and I’m trying to get some semblance of control in that room. The first thing I talked to them about was not wanting rules, but rather guidelines. And that I thought one of the…
International Cat Day 2022
It’s International Cat. Actually, here in the Marks house, everyday is International Cat Day. Everyone knows that cats rule the world. We humans are here only to serve our feline overlords. Here are two recent pictures of my two overlords. They have such a rough life, don’t they? I’m off to feed the princesses their…
Pensive Kitty
I think this is Ivory’s favorite place to hangout during the day. At night she likes to sleep on top of my torso or on top of my head. Cats are gonna cat.

Ivory never used to get up on tables. Not so anymore. She’s been doing it more and more. I think she was looking at my parent’s wedding pictures. But who knows. Cats are going to cat.

The Golden Hour
It seems that I’ve taken quite a few pictures of sunsets. Yes, sunsets only. I’m rarely cognizant enough to take pictures of the sunrise. That’s something I should rectify at some point in time. Maybe I’ll do it when I’m on vacation. The Photos app on the iPhone does this thing where it creates slideshows…
Summer Bulletin Board
I recently finished the summer bulletin board in my classroom. As usual, the babies painted. My theme was summer. The saying I chose was “Summer Is Flip Flopping Fun”. I did things you’d find during summertime, including flip flops with the babies’ footprints on them. I found this neat foil cardstock at the craft store…
