Here are a couple shots of the phalaenopsis orchid plant my "secret pals" gave to me today during "Staff Appreciation" week (a.k.a. forcing students to fess up the goods week). 

Amy Spain & I at Paul Hobbs' facility last summer. 

Hi, Matt Dee! 

pretty, eh? 

View from Stryker Winery in Alexander Valley, April 30, 2005 

. . . and we had a HUGE line the whole time. The one waving, Karen, is a STAR writer, and her brother will be attending Slater soon (and I hope he's in my class).  

Spartan Family Fun Night at Slater Middle School. Our Newspaper Club booth was a bean bag toss . . . yea! 

Backyard Stone Inlay is Done!

I'll tackle the flower bed in the summer. :-P

It's not the best layout, but better than a big pile of dirt and spiders. Took me a solid five days to do this: raking the leaves & bark; hoeing and loosening the hard clay soil; adding top soil; making sure rocks were level; adding baby's tears & white & blue star isotope creeping plants. Whew! Now, I just go to work at Lambert Bridge tomorrow, and Spring Break is over. Wait a minute! Where's my vacation gone? :-)  

yippee! done! 

looks a lot better than dirt, if you ask me 

almost finished! 

later that night . . .
