Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa.  Sorry I haven't been posting, I've been sick.

People Will Talk

The play write bemoans

Through his character’s

Well stuffed mouth

How much better

Butter was

When we was young

Uses an academic

Peeling a knockwurst

Poking around for

More cabbage in the pot

To make his point

Wonder how he’d feel

About x-mas dinner

Made by Wal-Mart

Haiku for Anjou

No longer a girl

She's becoming woman

right before our eyes

Len G.

 Haiku for Lenny

No longer a boy

Now an old man with a beard

but a very kind soul

Dream Vacation by John V.

If I had to choose a friend or a family member to come with me to a country it would be my friend Alex. We would go to Japan and have the best sushi ever. Also we would see Kei Nishikori play at one of the Japanese opens. Then to finish off our vacation we would go to the zoo and feed the elephants. Alex and I hailed a cab to the airport. Then we got on the plane and said good-bye to a lovely time in Japan.

Postcard from Lydia

To: Lenny                                                                                                     Dear Lenny,

On my trip to the moon my rocket ship must have taken a wrong turn because I

ended up on Mars. People think there is no life on Mars, but they are wrong I met

them. They are green and have antennas. They are very nice and helpful so they

Gave me a place to stay and helped me fix my rocket ship. When my rocket ship

was fixed I had to say goodbye to them it was sad, but I couldn’t wait to go back to

Earth to my house after my trip to Mars which was supposed to be to the moon,                                                                                                                              From Lydia

Post card from Texas

What's up dog?

This is a photo of Sarah with her friends Peter and Hana.  They live in Gavelston, Texas.

This is a photo of Sarah with her friends Marta, Alberto, Richard, and Linda. This picture was taken at the summit of Mt. Bonnell.

These dogs were on the side of a building in New Orleans and I thought they'd make a nice cover for a postcard.

Voodo Queen of New Orleans

These pictures are of the burial vault of Marie Laveau, the Voodo Queen of New Orleans.  The tombs are known as "oven" vaults and are designed for above ground burials.  This is needed in New Orleans because the city is below sea level.  

The markings are made by people that believe in Voodo and are made as an offering to Marie Laveau in the hopes that she will hear their prayers and answer them.  It is against the law to mark "desecrate" burial sites.

OK This Week - postcard from Lennie and Dr. O.

S'up New Schoolerz?

Sarah and I had a great Thanksgiving week visiting friends in Gavelston and Austin Texas.  We've done a lot of driving and tonight we are at Sarah's brothers house at Lake Ten Killer in Oklahoma. I hope you're all having a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you on December 9th.  I'll post some more pictures from our trip later this week, here;s a cool pic, one of my favorites.

Palm Tree Village by Morgan W.

PALM TREE VILLAGE

In Palm Tree Village coconuts are the only thing you eat and drink. You can jet ski, swim, sky dive and stay in hammock huts on the beach. A hammock hut is made out of palm tree wood and you sleep in hammocks. Your blankets are palm tree leaves. The kitchen is filled with coconuts and they're delicious. The water is Caribbean blue, with two little islands. One island is for jet skiing and one is for sky diving. It never rains. It is always sunny and calm, never windy. In the morning you can see beautiful dolphins doing tricks. There are no cars only golf carts. This is a great island!

Post Card from Iguana Peak by Morgan W.

IGUANA PEAK

We took a chair lift made of lizard tails to the top of Iguana Peak. From there we skied down through an enchanted forest of Iguanas. The weather is sunny at the base and snowy at the top. At the bottom of the peak there is a lagoon where the iguana bathe and you can swim with them. We skied down the mountain until we got to a sunny spot where our skies turned into flippers and we dove into the salamander pool. The salamander pool is where special salamanders can breath under water and swim with you. We stayed in a lizard hut where lizards made hot chocolate for us. It was a lot of fun!
