The bitter cold, blowing snow, and treacherous driving are
all taking a toll. I notice my students
are acting out more; angry out bursts with a noticeable decline in attention
span does not lend itself to a good learning environment. Today I am enjoying
an unexpected gift; the wind chill keeping us all home yet again. I’ll worry about the logistics of making up
the time another day. For now, allow me
to share my 5 Random Finds:
1.
A sign of
spring! I long to smell my roses but in
the meantime I am drooling over the luscious photos in this Jackson &
Perkins catalog that arrived this week.
2.
I came home to a quiet house. Quiet when
there are pets in residence means, you guessed it, trouble! I walked into the
bedroom to find this:
3.
The sun streaming in the window invites a lovely
afternoon nap amongst friends.
4.
Last night the unthinkable happened; the
dishwasher died! I told my husband to
put a note on it so the teenager wouldn’t use it. When I woke up this morning I noticed the
note. I almost spilled my coffee
laughing!
5.
Old finds.
Discovered these in a giveaway box in the copy room. The instruction manual states, “This test
battery is designed to test the visual abilities of children between ages 3 and
6.” They are made of a thick, wood-like
board. I am not sure what I will do with
them, perhaps an old photo journal of some sort.

My husband went wild over this film box; he was a bit disappointed the film was missing. The cards fit inside the box so I am contemplating putting them together somehow.
Oh trouble is adorable:) Furry friends are so cute. Your Teenager has a great sense of humour. What a interesting find. Have fun with that. B
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about your dishwasher - the hubby found a good idea for one by searching the net, reading reviews & ebay. just a thought. ( :
ReplyDeleteThe brand of dishwasher in our house is "Nancy." :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the dishwasher -- love the do not feed me sign. Your furry critters are too cute -- including trouble! I've been enjoying all the seed catalogs coming in the mail.
ReplyDeleteOh he is so cute..but what a mess! I second what Nancy says above- My dishwasher hasn't been used in three years. It only takes five minutes to wash up dishes for the two of us..now I just prefer it...saves on electric bill too.
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at the torn apart stuffy. My dog is notorious for doing that! At least she didn't eat the squeaker!
ReplyDeleteLove the note. Yes quiet pets are a bad thing unless you know they are sleeping. That old film case is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove your find, an unwell dishwasher is a sad state of affairs, like your images very much.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your dishwasher. Ours broke last year the day before Thanksgiving! Wonderful hubby had a new one installed before lunch! I love those children's cards you found!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post and lots of good finds...my favorite, the dog with the guilty look and the fluff...to funny.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer about the dishwasher but oh my that note was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSo was the look on the dog's face. Caught in the act, How funny.
Those kitty's look mighty comfy.
