Random Things a Long Time Coming

Well Lent has come and gone and I guess I got so used to not blogging, since I gave up most internet usage, that I just have not sat down to do this. I am in the process of writing my thoughts on Lent and what I learned, but for now I have a few things I have been meaning to share.

I got a puppy on Feb 16th. Don't ask what kind of dog she is- I don't know. I picked her up when I was horseback riding near the river in town. She's a Domini-dog, aka a mutt. But she is cute :). Her name is Moca Late; it is spelled according to Spanish spelling (it would be Mocha Latte in English). But here is the best part of her name: 'late' in Spanish means "it bites". Therefore her name translated in "Moca bites". Which is so true right now (she's about 4 months old now).

In my classroom there is a white board where the girls can sign out so I know where they are. We also put the date up there each day. Earlier this month, one of the girls wrote the date as such "4+4=8". I thought it was clever. :)

I have a new goal in life (well, maybe not life, but at least for the time I am here): I want to find a perfect apple crisp recipe. I had been wanting some so I found a recipe online and made it. But I didn't like it too much and took up the challenge. If you have any suggestions or recipes, let me know. Oh, and I'm not looking to please a lot of people with this "perfect" recipe. My mouth is the only one I am concerned about.

I think that's all for now. Sometime soon I should have a post about my lessons from Lent.
