Yesterday Nancy and I received a phone call from the Ron Clark Academy! We applied for a grant through our district to go and visit their academy on December 5th. We posted the video on YouTube so that the district committee could see it. We received the grant, and are going for a campus visit on Dec 5th! SO exciting....
WELL...
Yesterday Ron Clark, and the academy's cofounder, Heather Bearden contacted us because they saw the video!! We have no idea how they found it on you tube.. BUT they did, and they want to bring us to their big conferences in Atlanta !! We are soooo pumped !! We sent an email back to them with a BIG HUGE THANK YOU !!! We can't wait !!
Here is our video:

State Fair

Nancy and I went to the State Fair of TEXAS on Columbus Day-- along with 9 million other people that were off work. Nancy and I had a GREAT time eating, walking, and people watching. Thanks for taking pictures Nancy!

Spider Update

Well after a month or so... my pet spider has moved out! I am truly hoping he has NOT made his way into my apartment for his new home. My apt building got a new roof last week, and the spider disappeared.

High School Reunion

Along Came a Spider

I have been watching a pet spider that now has lived on my balcony for 3 weeks. It moved its house/web to the other side of my porch last week, and I was really nervous that it had moved inside. I probably should report him/her to the apt office before it gets cold outside... I am pretty sure once it gets cold it will want to live inside with me. No Thank you.....

I am fascinated with its size and colors and would hate to see it die.... BUT it is also kind of scary looking. Nancy came to take pictures for me so you all can see my new pet! Thanks Nancy....

What type of spider is it? Is it Poisonous ---- not sure if I want to find out!
