Home Sweet Home

I live in the semi arid desert region of West Texas called the Permian Basin. A road trip through our part of the country offers amazing views of the sky – bright golden sunrises and watercolor sunsets so immense that they take your breath away. The land is incredibly flat and sprinkled with mesquite trees, cactus and the occasional wild flower. Breaking the monotony of the landscape, oil wells, pump jacks and wind turbines accent the horizon. Cattle ranches spread far and wide sharing the natural resources that West Texas offers. The birthplace of a U. S. President and the home of "Friday Night Lights," Odessa offers a beauty all it's own. It is a good place to build a life.

NINE DAYS AND COUNTING

SINGLE DIGITS!!! This is beginning to feel very surreal. Today was indeed filled with things I will miss about teaching. The annual awards assembly to honor the top students at Nimitz. My beautiful freshman girls singing a song that seemed just for me. Today the tears flowed. This retirement thing is quite a roller coaster. The ride has begun and I have no choice but to finish. Life as I know it will cease to exist. I hold on to the life of a teacher because it is what I know. I look forward to learning to live another way. Single digits - almost there.
