You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

Let's Talk Turkey

.
Just look what one of my students brought me yesterday:

Does she have my number or what!?!

SOME teachers bedeck their rooms with seasonal decor for every holiday.

Me???? - - - Uh, not so much. Here's MY Fall Flair, which will suffice from now through Thanksgiving:

Ye olde football gridiron on the corner of my desk. Actually, this MAY stay until the last day of school in May, given my proclivity for football.

And here is my gigantic tribute to fall and all her special days.

Oh, but it is a FUN little tribute, let's look more closely:

Black bears going huntin' through the leaves.

And just what do you suppose they're huntin'???

Ah, here he is!! Mr. Turkey Lurkey
Hiding behind a kleenex box.

Disclaimer: YES, I know my turkey LOOKS like a rooster, but he's the only TURKEY I've got, OK???? WORK WITH ME here!!!

furniture Toronto said...: Hi. Beautiful pictures. I like the pumpkin with bears hunting the turkey. Really very nice decor. What are those leaves made from? I'm used to put pumpkins everywhere in and outside the house before Halloween. Sometimes I feel that our house is overcrowded with pumpkins but luckily nobody complains.

Take care,
