A silent cowboy. Can’t remember how old I was but I do remember our first TV and a lot of cartoons. Steamboat Willie and Tom Mix were already stars. Being a cowboy was the only thing I could be when I grew up.

a fourth grade teacher

A Math Lesson –

A store in the classroom. It was just a counter with shelves that a few fathers built with 2×4’s on a Saturday morning. Everyone in all eight grades was asked to bring in a can of food. Using real money, each student would buy and sell two or three cans and make change. At the end of the year the cans were donated to a charity.

A Long Day –

A need to get more sleep. I wish I could get more sleep. Can you reach more nations by posting in the middle of the night? Probably not but here I am with my coffee doing the daily prompt when I should be sleeping. Falling asleep in the middle of the day does not work.
