Daily Life in the Maine Woods. Thursday, December 27, 2012. Can't you hear them singing: " We Wish You a Merry Christmas. With hot, itchy sweaters layered over our Christmas clothes, we lined up to model our ugly sweaters so the voting could begin. Those that didn't wear a sweater (mostly the men-but Brad did wear one and opted out of the contest because he decided a pilly sweater just didn't qualify) got to vote for the "Ugliest Sweater". The question everyone asked was, "What's the criteria? From left ...

Front Porch Ramblings: July 2012
http://simplyliving22.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Daily Life in the Maine Woods. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. I'm a little behind on my "homework" for Teachers Write as I've been teaching writing at the University to a group of voracious 3rd and 4th grade writers. Today I chose a prompt from Jo Knowles Monday morning warm-up board. My plan is to freewrite, a poem is speaking to me and I'll come back to it in a week or so and see what I want to do with it. Come Away With Me. Come away with me. Down the long dirt road. Cicadas humming in the heat of the day.

Daily Life in the Maine Woods. Monday, July 9, 2012. Monday Morning Warm-Up 7/9/12. I can't believe it's already mid-summer! I don't know about you, but this does not please me AT ALL. 1 Make a list of all the important objects in the room. Write down as many things as you can. Don't worry if these won't make sense to anyone else. Just write them down. You have a poem! 3 But that's not all! Now you have a list of items that each tells its own story. Pick one now, and tell it. Then share! Oh, Greek Yogurt.

http://simplyliving22.blogspot.com/2012/06/tuesday-quick-write.html
Daily Life in the Maine Woods. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Author: Julie True Kingsley.

Probably not. Julie suggests using mixed media to create our characters and their story. Here's Jim taken from a Fitness magazine advertisement for Honda:. What is Jim thinking? What makes Jim's heart tick? Step Two: This was ha...

Daily Life in the Maine Woods. Sunday, July 3, 2011. Geocaching Adventures and Misadventures. Nikki and I went for a ride to Greenville today to go have a picnic at Kristie and Brad's Moosehead Camp. Of course, you can't go for a long ride like that without mapping out some waypoints along the way to find some caches! AndNikki's never been, so I thought this would be a great introduction for her. After a rainy lunch at camp, we headed back home and took a side-trip to Dexter for a Reny's fix and what I t...
