San Antonio Leisure Classes
 
A couple of weeks ago my daughter and I attended a one day writing class given by the Adult & Community Education department of the Northside Independent School District.  It was a class on Romance writing.  I actually have no interest in romance writing but my daughter asked me to attend with her, so I did.  It was enjoyable to do something different and learn a little about a new subject.
 
The teacher made the class a lot of fun and we learned about different types of romance novels and other information related to … (5 comments)

NEISD opens first ‘green' school

Where did summer go?  School starts Monday, August 23 when 790 eager students will stream into the new Cibolo Green Elementary School, North East ISD's first ‘green' campus. The campus will include all the necessary features of a standard elementary school -  45 classrooms with workrooms and book storage, a computer lab, pull-out classrooms, library and media center, 2 gyms plus more.

san antonio: "Speechless" Sunday ~ Calling My Children Home - 12/12/09 03:07 PM
Dedicated to everyone with children living away... Emmylou Harris/Youtube Those lives were mine to love and cherish.
To guard and guide along life's way.
Oh God forbid that one should perish.
That one alas should go astray. Back in the years with all together,
Around the place we'd romp and play.
So lonely now and oft' times wonder,
Oh will they come back home some day. I'm lonesome for my precious children,
They live so far away.
Oh may they hear my calling...calling..
and come back home some day. I gave my … (6 comments)
