Pike Place Market


I attended the TESOL Convention in Seattle, Washington with four of my colleagues and around 6,500 other ESL/EFL educators from around the globe. It was an exhausting time of traveling, attending sessions, presenting ("Taking the Pain Out of Assessment: Specifications Grading") and networking. But, we planned an extra day at the end of our trip and on Saturday morning three of us explored the Pike Place Market, which opened in 1907 and is one of the most famous attractions in Seattle.

China King

My mom has become friends with the couple who run the China King in St. Louis. Last Friday night we all gathered in the tiny restaurant to sample plates of sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, Hunan chicken and other dishes.

Windstorm


Wind gusts of 60mph knocked down power lines, uprooted trees, and rattled my office windows on Wednesday.

Seedlings

 Libby started trays of seedlings and entrusted the pansies and alyssum to my care since they require lower growing temperatures than her other seeds.

Labyrinth

 Painting the living room walls required everything to be moved into the middle of the room.

 My potted herbs are tired of being inside.
