My brother made me cry today...

Last night I noticed a book outside the door to my room. I just assumed that my mom had found one she thought I would want to read and left it there for me.

I waited until this morning to bring it in and just tossed it on the bed while I was getting ready for church, still not paying much attention to it. 

There was some cardboard sticking out of the top and I thought maybe she had come across some stickers or something that she wanted to send home with me. I opened the book and found two gas gift cards instead. My first thought was they had been forgotten in a drawer or purse (gift cards were a frequent reward for meeting her quotas when she worked at the bank).

Then I saw the message at the top...only one person I know writes like that (and it isn't my mom).
He may not say much, but he knows how to get his point across...and apparently how to make me cry.

Saturday shopping in Ohio...

Anyone who pays attention to my posts (all two of you) will know that I LOVE P.Graham Dunn.

 In fact, it is probably a good thing that I don't live closer, but it happens to be right down the road from my grandpa's nursing home...

 Saturdays this summer they are having a "pictures by the pound" sale and I went to check it out. I didn't realize until I got there that they are also selling unframed prints for 25 cents. I got quite a variety (which my mom and I are still "fighting" over) including these two which I thought went nicely with my last post.

 I also had the chance to stop by Marc's (a local discount store) where I found this...can't wait to hang it proudly in my classroom! 

Oh, and I don't think I spent over $20 all day.
