Travels With Stacey

I have one particular student on my school bus.  The first time I picked her up, and then a few hours later, the first time I dropped her off at her home, I noticed she got off the bus with a hop. I chuckled. I…

We are fortunate to live in an area with plenty of songbirds.  These flying musical delights are protected by law because they are just beautiful to have around.  Each morning, just before the sun rises, one bird starts to sing, followed by another, and then…
