2007 in Review

Quilly | December 31, 2007

2007 has been a year of major changes for me! OC and I met for the first time on January 11th. Despite the fact that Vegas had record low temps, the pipes were frozen, and OC used almost every dish in the house to cook a meal, we got along well and began making plans [...]

Bouquets

Quilly | December 30, 2007

I took the photos below on the University of Hawaii campus. OC said he had something to do in his lab that would take about 20 minutes. I took my camera and disappeared for 45 minutes. Even so, I returned too early. I was unsurprised to find him still working. His concept of “20 minutes” [...]

Looking for something to read?  You’ll find the Dudes up at O’Ceallaigh’s Fellofatruck Publications, and a little wild kingdom going on over at O’Ceallaigh and the Quill.

Christmas Time

Quilly | December 26, 2007

My favorite Christmas present this year was time, and that has not always been the case. For the past ten years I spent my Christmases in Las Vegas. Generally the day found me either house hopping from the home of one friend to another, or eating with my niece and taking in a movie. More [...]

Spreading Christmas Joy

Quilly | December 22, 2007

No, Amoeba, I do not mean dish washing liquid. (Sometimes that man is a trial.) If you’re hankering for some big band Christmas cheer, check out my audio/video clip of the Band playing at Honolulu Hale‘s Light Festival. Of course you already know OC is in the band. And if you want to see some [...]

Remedial Intervention Required

Quilly | December 21, 2007

Marisol cannot correctly pronounce the name of one of her classmates. She calls her B’na Lee, so yesterday I said to her, “Repeat after me: Aaa. Na. Lee.” Marisol slowly repeats, “Aaa. Na. Lee.” “Good!” I say. “Aaa. Na. Lee.” Marisol repeats it slowly and perfectly again. “That’s perfect!” I exclaim, then I say, “Ana [...]

Not Nappeding

Quilly | December 19, 2007

Harold  managed to stay awake all the way through Sesame Street, though most of his classmates were asleep within minutes.  After Sesame Street, he managed to stay awake through an entire Enya CD.  Then I told him it was time to get up and asked him to put his blanket and sleeping mat away.  I [...]

All In Stitches

Quilly | December 17, 2007

I’ve been busy making Christmas presents for my teaching team mates. These are one-of-a-kind, handmade lanyards. Each has a watch on it. The watch is up side down, so that when the wearer looks down, the time is right-side-up! I hope they are well received. The gold one has “antiqued gold”butterfly beads on it. The [...]

Cozy Classroom Fireplace

Quilly | December 14, 2007

Christmas in Hawaii …. My team teacher, Ms. Jewel, is an artist. She does wonderful oil paintings in her free time. This little gem she painted in less then half an hour using tempura paints. It is on the back of the children’s cubby case. It looks so real David held his hands out to [...]
