AMERICAN DREAM GIRL'S CLASS COMES TO AN END.I can't believe it's been six weeks since we began our blogging class together at <a href="http://www.loebschool.org/about-us/">the Nackey Loeb School.</a> What a great class and remember we hope to keep this going with our <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/dashboard">Nanowrimo support group.</a> Post your Six Sentences here if you'd like. Also, please, if you see this today, let us know what you'd like to do for the last class. We forgot to check in at the end of class last week. Otherwise we'll just spring another writing exercise on you - or who knows what? See you this afternoon. And don't forget to email us your contact information for the Nanowrimo group.<br />

We're five weeks in and I couldn't be prouder of your work, attention and effort in this class. Your blogs are fabulous as is your class participation. Take time to read each others' blogs and comment, comment, comment. For those who haven't shared links with us yet and have a blog - please do. And think about what you'd like us to do for our final class next week. P.S. Have some exciting news to share today. See you in an hour and a half.<br />

The quick trick is to say "to lay is to place" and to lie is "to recline." So it should be "I want to lie down to take a nap" and "I want to lay this napkin on the table." But here's a link to the latest <a href="http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/lay-vs-lie?et_mid=585141&rid=233808352">"Writers Digest"</a> discussion.<br /> It should clear everything up.

So we live in New England which means pretty soon, throngs of those longing for the Norman Rockwell image of an idyllic autumn will pour onto our roadways heading for the White Mountains and Mount Monandnock. But what about us - the bona fide residents of the region? What about those of us who pay our dues slogging through the long frigid months of endless gray winters? Trying to come up with a failprooth method of cleaning mud off floors without making more mud in the spring? And enjoying summer for precisely one hour before mosquitoes and black flies swarm or porches and backyards in the summer?<span style="font-size: large;"> <strong><em>We are</em></strong></span> the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Rockwell">Norman Rockwell</a> painting and we don't even get to see the blinkin' leaves change without having to fight every out-of-towner crawling up Route 101 at 10 mph with pumpkin spice Dunkin Donuts coffee in their cup holder and their Instagram apps working over time. <br />
<br />
But we all have a secret. There's that one tree, somewhere that we look to in order to mark the autumnal equinox. In my case it's a skinny but pretty magnificent maple that grows in our backyard and visible from almost every window in our house. When our son was a baby, he'd lie in bed with us and stare up at the tree through the sklylight watching the light spackle through it's dance-party colored leaves. Now when he practices his bass or tries his hand at the piano, it serves as an illuninated backdrop and a reminder just how tall and magnificent he's grown. <br />
<br />
So here's the question. <strong><em>As certified New Englanders, what is the tree or bush which you look to in your own backyard or town square every year to mark the fall?</em></strong> It could be the yellowing oak in Greeley Park or the shocking pink sumac along Route 3A. The American Dream Girl wants to know. And if you can send a photo - even cooler.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073099469597071644.post-84426663646622100182012-09-27T04:29:00.000-07:002012-10-03T17:32:26.364-07:00American Dream Girl Posts More LinksSo check it out.

Many teachers dream of students who are truly engaged in their classes. That's one of the reasons ADG prefers teaching in alternative schools where students are not obliged to go to school, but rather opt to be there. Our Blogging/Column Writing Class at the<a href="http://www.loebschool.org/"> Nackey Loeb School</a> is a great example of this. Our students are creating amazing blogs, and we couldn't be happier. Thanks for your participation. And everyone - here are the links to some of these great blogs. Looking forward to another great class today and if you haven't sent me the links to your blogs yet, please do and I'll add them here..<br />

It took four hours for a working woman in Philadelphia to get a photo id to vote the other day. She had no license because she lives in a city and takes public transportation to go to work every day. No surprise this woman was black and she was shifted to one long line after another at city hall. This goes beyong the political. This sets America back 40 years in the Civil Rights movement. Lest we forget all those who died in the south trying to reverse the Jim Crow laws and get blacks registered to vote,among them New Hampshire's own <a href="http://new.yankeemagazine.com/article/legacy-jonathan-daniels">Jonathan Daniels</a> who was killed in 1965. Let's not forget and dishonor all those who sacrificed. Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, this should disturb us all. This goes to the roots of what it means to be an American.</div>

All of a sudden I realized that everything I went through before - all the pain, chemo, fear, three bouts of cancer - was to see this day - get Sam through to being a teenager and getting into high school. Every year when all the other moms would cry to see their kids go off to school the first day, I'd rejoice because my son was that much older, needed me that much less. And it hit me just now, that I'm here. I made it. He is the reason I'm here against all odds. You're a man and you don't need me any more but don't worry, I'm not going any where soon. I'm sure to embarrass you at some point tonight and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity.

OK. I've decided to try to learn to play the ukulele after my son's friend suggested I learn to play an instrument. My goal is simple. Learn four sings with which I can sing. Could have gone to the Uke Club at <a href="http://www.studio99nashua.com/">Studio 99</a> last night, but was too intimidated. I can't even read music. So instead I bought Hal Leonard's Ukulele Method Book 1. We'll see. Have to borrow my sister's uke. Wish me luck.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
