Here’s my Ivy

We just adopted Ivy. Other names we considered were Ramona (as in “the Pest”), Tilly, Hazel, and Pepper. Good luck, and have fun!

This is Ivy. We adopted her about the same time you got Maple. Cats are something wonderful. :)

I attended an EduProtocols Academy a couple of years ago in Laguna Beach. Best. Thing. Ever. After 30+ years of teaching, it was just what I needed to keep me excited.

Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout. I just love the way she writes her characters. Olive Kitteridge is one of my all-time favorites.

This is our "day 3" with sweet Ivy from the local animal shelter. Aren't they wonderful?
