Join the Tuesday Slice of Life!
For today’s Slice of Life, I want to express my gratitude for the Wonders in my life.
I. I am part of a Wonderful group of women called The Berry Queens. At the 6th annual ball on Friday night, I was honored to be named Head Diva.
2012-13 Head Diva, Susan and me, 2013-14 Head Diva.
II. My Wonderful baby girl was home for two weeks. We enjoyed some fun times together. Her boyfriend, Jeff, came in for the weekend. Here they are posing at the Grandmother Oak.

III. Reading FREADOM: This is National Banned Books week. My students are discussing their favorite books. I am grateful that they are Wonder-filled readers. Some of them made Animoto videos about their books.
IV. International Dot Day celebration continues: My younger students (2nd-4th grade) discovered the Wonder of creating their own mark using Paint.
Emily’s Dot created on Paint.

Decorating Dots
Oh,what a nice day
Today, today dots we make.Dabbing on dots
All day I say
Yay! oh what a nice day!
V. The proof is here! The book of my poems with my Dad’s art, Illuminate, will be coming soon. Here I am with the Proof! Wonders never cease!
It may be small, but it is oh, so precious. My book of poems with my father’s art.
Wonders everywhere Head Diva. So glad you can share your wonders with us. We all need a shower in your good fortune: Personal, family and classroom, YES!
I had a rough day on Monday and did not want to write about it, so I woke up early today thinking of all that I had to be grateful for and the list is long! Thanks for stopping by.
I loved this post – it made me feel good. Your book looks beautiful!
Congratulations on your book!!! That’s so exciting to get a book published! đŸ™‚
The book looks Wonder-ful…could not resist. So much to celebrate!
Lovely, Margaret! Sometimes it’s good just to step back and appreciate the many wonders in our lives. Congratulations on your book!
What a wonder- ful post. I can’t wait to see your book.
Great to see all this, Margaret. You do have so much that is good in your life. As Emily wrote: “Yay! oh what a nice day.” (Liked hearing about the head diva, too!)
