That is incredible!! I love it! Maybe you could talk with the community newspaper and/or the person in charge of the school's marquee and ask for camera donations. I bet some of those kids are naturally good photographers. It would be great to feature some of their artistic endeavors outside of prose and poetry. Here (until this year!) we showcased paiting, jewelry making, photography, drawing and pastel work in addition to short stories and poetry.
Your kids sound awesome - they're lucky to have you! :) 27276.

They've been around for 70 years, just like me.
It's a small little store that caters to the richie riches who live nearby...they have gourmet items, really expensive locally grown produce, outrageously priced meats...some exotic..and they will order anything for you if they don't have it. They do home delivery and some families have used them exclusively since they opened. About 20 years ago, they opened a catering section and nearly every society party for years was catered by this little mom and pop business.
My son worked there during high school, delivering groceries to indolent housewives too lazy to go to the store themselves.
I say props to them for remaining open for all these years...that's not easy, especially for a food store. 27278. arkymalarky - 4/27/2013 7:54:10 PM How neat! Are you going? 27279. judithathome - 4/27/2013 8:24:13 PM Yeah, I think we'll drop by! 27280. alistairconnor - 4/29/2013 3:44:00 PM 
My g*d-daughter, born in Lyon in 1995, was queen of her prom this weekend (Charlotte, NC)
She's going on to Appalachian State in Boone to study industrial design.
27281. arkymalarky - 4/29/2013 11:42:29 PM Beautiful people! Which one is she? 27282. arkymalarky - 4/29/2013 11:42:57 PM Duh. I see the crown now. 27283. arkymalarky - 4/29/2013 11:43:34 PM And the sash. I need to start wearing my contacts. 27284. robertjayb - 5/1/2013 7:58:21 PM Well, well. Made in past noon without spouse's annual chant: "Hooray hooray, the first of May. Outdoor intercourse starts today." Good. 27285. Ms. No - 5/2/2013 7:22:08 AM Damn. I totally forgot about that. 27286. thoughtful - 5/2/2013 12:33:50 PM RJB, you're a little late...the geese have been at it for awhile and I saw a pair go by with 7 of the cutest little goslings.... 27287. robertjayb - 5/2/2013 4:00:56 PM Sure enough, at about 9:30 last night she came out with it. Brrrr. Seems an odd phrase to be adopted by a Wisconsinite.
Here in Texas I've always heard that sort of thing is best accomplished on a warmish summer night with at least a bit of moonlight. That's what I've been told 27288. arkymalarky - 5/4/2013 9:13:37 PM happy birthday Judith! 27289. arkymalarky - 5/5/2013 2:38:40 AM happy birthday Judith! 27290. judithathome - 5/5/2013 7:34:27 AM Thanks you! Thanks you! 27291. thoughtful - 5/6/2013 3:57:38 PM Oh Happy Belated Bday! Hope it was just fine! 27292. judithathome - 5/8/2013 5:16:07 AM MsNo, if you are checking in here while in Hawaii, which I seriously doubt you are...someone who found your phone called me on it yesterday. 27293. wabbit - 5/8/2013 4:58:33 PM Belated Happy Birthday, JaH! 27294. thoughtful - 5/13/2013 2:17:27 PM So sad...we had to put our dear cat Casimir down yesterday. Such a hard thing to do. He was hyperthyroid and was suffering with kidney failure. He was on that downward slope and we wanted to minimize his suffering....but it only increases ours.
