May happenings


It seems everybody in my blog world has decided to take a break. Kudos to Sandy, she was the latest poster. I guess it must be the month of May...the weather is nicer, and the outdoors beckon.
Marvin has finished the front of the planter, with the new sidewalk it looks really nice. I will take a picture tomorrow and post it. By the way, he seems to enjoy Facebook, and is getting quite a few friends :)
School is fine, only about a month to go (school is out June 17). The kids did very well this year, they all are good readers/writers. I'm proud of them. One sad note...one of my very first kindergartners, he's now 28, whom I remember very well in a negative way, has become my very first, and I hope last, student that will be going to death row for killing a friend...wow. I knew he was in gangs and had been in jail many times (I had his niece in my class last year, and I still talk to his mother). In the good side, many many of my ex students are now working and leading good lives, some are in college, some are married with children of their own -almost every year now I have in my class children from my old students, that's cool.

This Sunday is Mother's Day in the US. Marv and I will be going down to San Diego and have lunch with Lizzie, it's been a while since we were there, I am looking forward to it. Sandy and family are going to Pocatello, I think Tristan will stay there for a while during his break from school.

The picture above is in honor of mi mama :)
