Skywatch Friday: From Sound to Sea



From August 29, 2011
Tomorrow starts the new school year for me, and with that in mind this quote offers me some strength and hope:  

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. (Helen Keller)

    PS: On a personal note, I actually have a letter from Helen Keller and a photo of her and her guide dog. Sent to me when I was a kid (I loved writing to famous people) from Westport, Connecticut. It is a treaured item.

  19. By that threatening sky I judge you need an extra dose of courage for the coming year, so I wish you tractable students with spongy absorbent minds and a few who have a real sense of humour to add some comic relief.

  24. sandy - in canada we have property taxes and then school taxes
    So we know how much is paid out to what It is better to separate everything so there is better control and accountability as to where the money is going,
