And I love that there are people like you teaching at the high school level. Can't even tell how much this mom of two high school boys appreciates the kindred spirits who watch over my boys in high school. Hope this weekend goes well for you…Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-46579778403253724282012-03-06T22:43:22.786-06:002012-03-06T22:43:22.786-06:00Best of luck at your competition this weekend!

The way you use humor and how you always, always get to the heart of things. I'm glad you kept writing after the challenge last year, and I'm thankful to continue getting to know you "slice by slice."<br />Hope the end of speech season is a good one!<br />RuthRuth Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691244229499772525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-26432900931622951802012-03-06T08:51:08.937-06:002012-03-06T08:51:08.937-06:00Another cool structure in a poem from you.
