Cancer is illusive, but no match for a Shih Tzu!

This is a true and amazing story for cancer survivors everywhere. A dear friend recently underwent treatment for her breast cancer. Her Shih Tzu found her cancer before she could even feel it, and alerted her to the point where she saw her doctor, and got checked out. Sure enough, a cancer that even she could not feel or detect on her own, was discovered. The male ShihTzu is a hero!

20 year Milestone

I was honored at the School District's Recognition Dinner last night. For twenty years of service to the district, where I have missed but 2 days sick in 21 years. I was humbled by the many others who were also honored last night, and very pleased with this milestone accomplishment. My neighbor, Harry Hicks is a board member who passed the greeting, another board member Harold Shorts was a teacher in my elementary, and a colleague, and now a board member. I received a grand hug. The retiring Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent also wonderfully greeted me with hugs. I was among new teachers, retirees, and many others with 30+ years of service. It was a special gathering.

I'm not a spring-chicken and the rigor is beginning to wear me thin, and tire me out. I hope to be able to provide another 14 years of service to the district, the students and my community.

Is this the Shroud of Christ Our Lord?
