AND THE WALL CAME TUMBLING DOWN

As of this weekend my wall is gone!!

For the past 2 months this has been the view from my desk.
Some call it graffiti---but we call it a thing of beauty.

It all started when the church decided to put a folding door
between my classroom and the room next door.

Until the new door arrived, I asked the faculty....then the Seniors
and finally all students to share their favorite quote.

I was impressed with the diversity and the depth.
Some really encouraged me & some just made me smile.

Here are a couple of pictures of my Journalism class...

working on the Yearbook and Newspaper.

And more close-ups of my wall.

Gone....

but not forgotten!!

Weekend Update

Becky seems pretty curious about ice cream.

Brett came home for shoulder surgery at Johns Hopkins.

A great excuse for our 2 families to share some serious tacos together.

Sam served as Brett's chauffeur for an evening out.
Seems like old times.

Two Saturdays ago was the CLS Homecoming.
Diane, Drew and Vicky try out the new snack shack.
That salesman in the back looks familiar!!

SPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT

It's been awhile since I attended
three sporting events in 2 days...
But this weekend was my "Hat trick"...
With Brother Dale in town, we had to meet up with Sam..

Along with Billy, we drove to College Park and Appleby's..

Then watched Maryland Men's soccer beat Virginia Tech 2-1

Lauren, Ellen, Robbie saved us seats at the game.

Then back to Sam's apartment where
we were able to view his new cleats.

For the record, after he and Billy had caressed them---
I actually saw Sam kiss his Nike's---Idolatry on gross display.

After dropping Dale off at BWI on Saturday morning,
I drove back to College Park
Margie & Jim O'Brien, Sam and I were a 4 part cheer squad for...

The U.S. Naval Academy's #1 rugby player---(see # 1)

Patrick O'Brien...

Brother Tom...these pictures are for you!!

You would be proud of your little bro...

He knows how to "scrum"---I think that's what it's called.

His shorts a little brief...better to see his muscular legs.

And make his parents proud.

I know for a fact that his neighbor lady is proud of him!!!

Sporting Event Number 3 was the
Covenant Life School Homecoming
Alumni Soccer Game.
Sam wore his new Nike cleats...
I forgot to take pictures.
