Having comments at all surprised me, too, as I just went back to "moderating," which means a comment doesn't appear until I say it's okay. I was just getting too much spam and not enjoying having to patrol and purge bot stuff on a daily basis. <br /><br />Thank you for your good wishes. I do look forward to the end of the journey west -- arriving at our little cabin and nestling in for the winter. Best to you, too!P. J.

I identify with so much of what you've written the "on the one hand... on the other hand" nature of how we react to the vicissitudes of life, and your wonderful photos. Wishing you and The Artist and Ms. Sarah a safe and easy journey to Arizona, and look forward to hearing from you from there!Barbara Stark-Nemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017787052118941061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-53549362173827880052019-11-22T03:51:03.772-08:002019-11-22T03:51:03.772-08:00Thank you, Kathy!

One thing that stuck with me from a speaker was this: Kids don’t “spond.” They respond. Yes, all comes to school with them, the good and the bad. It’s one of the many challenging things about teaching. (Posting as “anonymous “ because I can’t remem how to sign into my Google account. Bettie)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
