I'm Just Me: February 2011
http://imjustmecc.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2011. So You Think Teachers are Paid too Much, Aye? Are you sick of highly paid teachers? Teachers' hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or10 months a year! It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do - babysit! We can get that for less than minimum wage. Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children. Now how many students do they teach in a day.maybe 30? So that's $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day. I love wh...

http://imjustmecc.blogspot.com/2011/11/month-to-be-thankful.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. A Month to be Thankful. Each day leading up to Thanksgiving, I am posting a reason I am thankful on my facebook page.

I'm Just Me: It's Been a Long While...
http://imjustmecc.blogspot.com/2014/08/its-been-long-while.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. It's Been a Long While. Life has certainly gotten in the way of me and writing in a blog, which is a good thing! That being said, I have a feeling I'll be popping on a bit more often- at least more than once a few years. There's a lot of great things happening in my life to share, but they are also tapping into some emotions I thought I had left behind. Now is not the time to dive into, as I have to get ready for work.but more than likely, I'll be back soon. Fun Blogs I Read.

Marie's book garden
http://mariesbookgarden.blogspot.com/2015/03/animal-dreams-by-barbara-kingsolver-i.html
A book is like a garden carried in your pocket. - Chinese proverb. Best books of each year. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. I first read Animal Dreams. Soon after it was published in the early 1990s, but I reread it in February for my book group. Kingsolver masterfully writes colorful characters; the plot in Animal Dreams. Is secondary to characters and setting. It's a story packed with community, redemption, ecological justice, family, and sisterhood.strong women and deep female relationships. Oh, the irony!
