5th Grade Field Trip

The fifth grade field trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty is one of my favorite events. I am always inspired by this special lady - the hopes, the dreams, the opportunities, the courage... and I love the trip with my special fifth grader, my Harry and his friends. The boys' favorite time, I would have to say, was playing tag in the grassy area on the island. It was such a beautiful sight for me, see the picture below.

One Word

One word
Is all I need to say exactly how I feel
One word
A single word that's from the heart and keep it real
One word
And baby I know this one fits you to a tee
One word
All I can say is amazing



I been married 19 years today to my love.
I love you, Rob.

9/10

Every holiday, I run to the 911 Memorial in Bucks County. It's about twice my usual run, it's the least I can do to pay my respects. Last year, I ran to the Memorial on 9/10. I met a woman there who was sitting alone on a bench. She was at first on her phone. We then spoke and she told me that she got up that morning and thought that the day was 9/11 and that was what brought her here. I asked if she would be back the next day and she said she didn't know. I asked if I could give her a hug and so we did and we had a few tears. I wonder if she will again come to the Memorial on 9/10... I hope she will, I will be there...
