Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.
I ate breakfast at my favorite diner yesterday morning. They have a bunch of Norman Rockwell art on the walls. The one I was facing as I sat in my booth was this one:
It’s called “Family Tree”. It was so interesting. I found a clearer picture online:
One of my eighth graders gave me homemade raspberry jam for Christmas. I opened the jar last night and had some.
Oh. My. Gosh! It is so good! The jar is small, so I’ve already eaten almost half of it. I will certainly enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
It does get cool here during the winter. Last night it got down to 45 degrees. I have central heat, and I do run it, but I also have space heaters here and there around the house. Bruno’s clear favorite is the one in the office.
I think he likes it because it blows the heat out at an angle that he likes. He sits right in front of it and basks in the heat.
Yesterday for handbells, we did lummi sticks. It was so fun! I used my original copy of the words and music from college. It’s like a hundred years old!
This group did a great job with the motion patterns. They even got to the 12-beat pattern. Good job, handbell group!
Side note here – the kids at my current school have found this site. Hi, everybody!
On my desk at school, I have a coffee mug and a water cup. I don’t wash either one of them. The coffee mug is blue, so the “seasoning” doesn’t show up as much as it might on a lighter color. The water cup is black. You would think that water wouldn’t leave any kind of residue behind, but it has. There are hard water deposits on my cup. So interesting…

I think I love this. To me, it is a reminder that there is only one race – the human one. Way to go, Norm!
