Resolution Race

I’m behind in positing my 5K race results. My New Year’s Resolution is to do one 5K per month. We’re now in March and I’m 3/3. On New Year’s Eve, there was the Resolution Run at Crocker Park. I finished 345 out of 384. Overall, I was happy with my time. I think it was…

Dancing

Growing up, I used to dance. I started lessons when I was three and continued up until I graduated from high school. I participated in tap, ballet and a little bit of jazz (really closer to musical theater). About 18 months ago, I saw that one of the girls I danced with offers adult classes…

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…

Pensive Kitty

So Naughty

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.

Will Run For…

Tacos! Today was my 3rd 5K of the year. I had more energy this time so my time was better. The weather was really good. It was overcast and about 65 degrees. There wasn’t any rain while I was racing. The race was in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland. One of Tremont’s claims to fame…

So Proud

In the last few years, I’ve really started to enjoy working in the flower bed in front of my house. I’ve slowly been adding perennials each year to make things easier for me as I get older. There are still annuals in there, but they haven’t grown as big as in the past. Last year,…

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…
