Sunshine In a Bowl
Before our eggs and toast we had the last of the California grapefruits toted back in our luggage. It was tart and juicy and redolent of last weekend's time in the California sun.
Sounds like a great trip. Did you have time off from school or did you just take some time? Those Grapefruits look mighty tasty...I was surprised when we moved to Arizona that I had orange and grapefruit trees growing in my back yard:) Happy THanksgiving. B.
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.

nothing better than grapefruit fresh off the tree
Just took one personal day; we get Veterans Day off, so altogether it made a four day weekend.
