Maple Syrup

I have this taste in my mind of the perfect flavor of maple syrup. I have no idea where I got it from. I have been trying different kinds now for a while. This last weekend I decieded to try something called grade B syrup. THIS WAS IT! It has an unrefined taste that I was looking for. The straight from the tree taste. If you have not tried grade B syrup you should. It is fantastic. I bought the Spring Tree brand because it was the only one offered here in Florida in grade B.

"Looney Bin" goes to school

Last week I finally brought the "Looney Bin" sign that my Aunt Dot and Uncle Dwight gave me for Christmas in to school. I currently have it above my dry erase board at the head of the class room. It has really been quite a funny talking point with the students. First it is positioned right over the advanced orchestra agenda...so naturally they think I am calling them looney. I have had to explain many times that it is a play on words, the bird and the concept of being looney, and that I just like to have the sign there. I may hang it over my office door...but time will tell.

My aunt had it made specially for me and I love it! The loon collection continues to grow!
