Vivian's Story

I married the big weirdo musician Richard Bell and nearly 32 years later, he still makes me laugh like no one else can, still crazy about him. Worked in insurance for awhile, bought a house and then stayed home for 13 years raising our kids, who we are both nuts about. Then went to university and got an education degree, have been teaching ever since. I love: walking and being with dogs, constantly and passionate...Expand for more
ly reading - including mysteries, sci-fi-fantasy, history, animal stories and all kinds of theology, devotedly listening to an eclectic array of music, doing yoga, seeing friends and family, church, gardening and bird watching, writing, environmental stuff etc. yada, yada, yada... Although care very much about my students, am looking forward to retiring, pursuing passions and interests and traveling with Richard.

Sigh, only one more day in paradise...Lissa meditating after the morning walk.
Well, guess it's time to do dishes, laundry and wrap presents, going to be a busy day.  Here are the two French girls all groomed and ready for Christmas, all they have to do is play and sleep.
Richard, Lissa and Guinness hard at work getting ready for Christmas...:)
Guinness is not the most considerate of couch pals...
My Christmas flowers (I do flowers now instead of a tree) still fresh.  Enjoying this break and rest for the old hip!

I created a language arts unit based on Charles Shulz's Peanuts comic strips and so when I finished last Thursday to take time off for my surgery this is what my class made me.  Am now immortalized as a smart aleck teacher
This morning Lissa scared us because she woke up in pain and could barely stand, wanted to just lay down flat on her side.  I got her to eat and gave her some Metacam.  She got a little better and we took her to the vet.  S

Richard made his first devil's food cake today, (a reflection of his character I suspect). :)
