A Gate!
I was surprised to see that Shorewood beach is now truly inaccessible. When Anna Rae was little she and I would ignore the posted sign that said the beach for Shorewood on the Sound was for community club members only and she would wade or lob rocks into the water. This formidable gate was not installed until recent years.
My blog's title originated in July 2004 as I was preparing to send my then 16 year old daughter to Annecy, France as an exchange student. It was to be a 10 and 1/2 month separation that I was sure I could not endure. BUT, thanks to the internet and blogging I survived her adventures outside of our 'nest'. Once she returned, I thought of changing the title but realized that 10 and 1/2 Months was a fitting description of the cycle of my teaching life too. Now that I am retired the days and months have much less structure but the title remains out of nostalgia for my teaching days.
