Sixteen days ago, sixteen days seemed like an endless amount of time. Sixteen glorious days of Winter Break! Tonight, I'm packing lunches, doing laundry and looking at a giant stack of grading. But, as the wise Dr. Suess once said, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
So here are some things that made me smile:
Visiting with family...
 |
| Pop Pop and Grammy Carolyn |
 |
| Uncle Stu and Sarah |
 |
| Bobby (and Julie too...not in the picture!) |
 |
| Blossom! |
 |
| Shirley and Harold |
...Adventures! Local trips and Kentucky-my 31st state...
 |
| Christmas Adventures |
 |
| And Birthday adventures |
 |
| the doorman at the Martha |
 |
| heading to a play at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA |
 |
| underground ziplining |
 |
| Scary! |
 |
| Double Scary! |
 |
| home of the Kentucky Derby |
 |
| this is where it all takes place |
 |
the famous double spires

|
...and Friends.
Time to walk the dog, enjoy brunch, and celebrate the season.
 |
Happy New Year!
|
I'll try to smile thinking of all the fun I had. I'll try not to cry about returning to work tomorrow. Maybe, if I'm lucky, there's a snow day in my near future! Happy New Year!
