THE TREE
This tree is in downtown Seattle in the square known as Westlake Center. I took these night time Christmas light pictures on December 2nd, the night of the Figgy Pudding carolling contest. I sang with the Pacific Northwest FASOLA Singers. We were only one of 48 different carolling groups raising money for the Pike Place Clinic and food bank. Originally uploaded by mtnester.
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.
