Today is an absolutely beautiful day here in SC. Cool breeze, upper 60's, bright sunshine. And football on all day. Ahhhhh. Now if only my Tigers would bring home a win from Blacksburg, this will be perfect.
As for my thoughtful observations this week, I've noted many small things. First, my husband came home with a homemade apple pie from a group of students at his high school. I thought it was so kind of them to think of him (us)... and the thing was delicious! We argued over who would eat the last bite (not so kind), but I won in the end. I know. Selfish me. Second, he was also invited by a student to Rally at the Pole, something he usually wouldn't attend, but agreed this time. I was proud of him for going, and he came home excited about the experience. These small acts of kindness from his students served as a much needed pat-on-the-back for him.
To celebrate the start of fall and the harvest, I read Stone Soup to my class this week. On Friday, we made soup together and had a taste test. I was impressed with most of them for eating, not just tasting, what we made. The soup was mostly potatoes, onions, carrots, and chicken broth; it tasted a lot like pot roast without the meat. I enjoyed watching them "sharing" the ingredients for the soup and enjoying it together.
I'm ready for my football-watching-marathon. Happy Fall Saturday, everyone!
