Another Day

Another Day. I never stop to realize what a blessing each day is until I am reminded of it by some tradegy. That is such a shame, because when the day is done I am really greatful for what has transpired that day good or bad. It is all experiences that make me who I am. I love each an every new day.

I Did Remember

It has been so long since I posted that I didn't know if I would remember my password-as you see I did.



I've been busy beginning a new year of teaching. I enjoy my job, but every year I stress out when school is about to begin. I have the teacher nightmares--kids running away, me strangling some student for an action that was unexceptable to me, going to school without any cloths on, forgetting to set the alarm--that one may have some trueth to it. Needless to say I don't sleep well the first few weeks before school. Once school begins and I have a chance to meet my students--the nightmares are gone. The tiredness comes from the emotioan work load of teaching and keeping everyone happy. It takes me about a month before I begin to feel rested after a nights sleep.



My dear sweet husband has been busy clearing trees off lot. I have helped some but he has done most of the work. We have the septic system almost totally in. That was a goal we had for the summer but had hoped to have it completed by the first of July. Only a little behind schedule.



My next goal in this blogging is to make my page a little more attractive. For that I will have to enlist my daughters help.

Idaho Spud

When I was a young girl I loved visiting my grandparents who lived just outside of Firth, Idaho. Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed an occasional evening out. Once when I was staying with them they promised me a treat if I would stay home while they went out. Of cource I chose my favorite candy bar at the time--Almand Joy. To my surprise grandmother brought me back an Idaho Spud bar. I was happy for the surprise, but displeased it wasn't an Almand Joy. Grandmother explained that there hadn't been any Almand Joys to purchase and she thought that I might like this candy bar instead--afterall it had coconut in it. I must say it turned out to be a sweet experience. I have loved them ever since.

You know you can't buy this candy bar just anywhere in the world. You find them mostly in Idaho--surprise, surprise--and in some of the surrounding states. Over the years I have found them to be good Christmas presents for family who live out of state--if they like them of cource.

There is a certain way I enjoy eating an Idaho Spud bar--kind of like when one eats and Oreo cookie. I like my bars cold, that way the chocolate outside comes away from the marshmellowie inside very easily. Once most of the chocalate outside is gone I then eat the marshmellow inside.
I do this when I really want to savor the experience of eating the bar.

I thank my grandmother and grandfather for introducing me to one of my favorite candy bars, the Idaho Spud Bar.
