It's been a while since I posted.
I've been enjoying our beautiful Alabama fall.
The leaves are wonderful right now.
The skies are a perfectly clear blue.
And the temperatures couldn't be better.
(I wish I was a poet so my lines would rhyme. :)
I've been using my oven more since I don't have to worry about heating up the house.
I made my favorite Focaccia Bread.

The bread was wonderful paired with this Pineapple Chicken Stir-Fry!
My recipes came from the Taste of Home website and my family loves them!

Well, it's off to school for me again today.
I've really enjoyed my first couple of subbing jobs.
In fact, I've enjoyed them so much that I've now asked to be a classroom volunteer.
I especially enjoy the happiness and enthusiasm of five and six year olds, so I've asked to be a classroom volunteer for kindergarten and first grade classes.
My first assignment is helping a kindergartner with his letter recognition and I can't wait to get there!
I've missed teaching children.
My youngest graduated from our homeschool last year so I was forced into retirement after 16 years.
But I still have the love of teaching in my heart and can't seem to be completely happy without it.
So, I decided to take some advice from a wise old bear:
You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.
~Winnie the Pooh~
And that's the reason I'm off to school today.
Won't you join me in my happy dance?
