  • Back to School

    A repost from one of my last working days before summer break 2023. I first started teaching in 2004 in Austin, TX and started teaching in Richmond, VA in 2019.

  • Daily Truth

    More true every time I read it.

  • Lesson of the Week

    Lesson of the Week: it is please don’t wait until there is an emergency to let friends know that you care. People most need love when they are least lovable some days. If you ridicule someone for dramatically seeking help someone watching may not want to get help themselves later-on. Years ago people harassed the crap out of me when I went to a therapist after a bad divorce, and then people ask why don’t people go to therapy?… Duh it is the harassment thing!

  • Memorial Day Memory

    This year marks the anniversary of the death of my father lieutenant colonel Neil Menzies from his war wounds in Vietnam and Korea. He was in the Army, and he died of his combat wounds when I was 4 years old. He is wearing his uniform in this photo, and I am the baby. My mother’s father also died of combat due to a plane bombing over Japan in WW2 and so the women in my family are many generations of war widows. Memorial Day is always a sad day for us yearly.

  • Travel Delay

    It turns out my trips to New Orleans and Austin are going to be after mid July of 2023. Family illness has caused a change of plans as I have to house and pet sit. Oh well no early vacation start this year after I finish teacher work before Summer break.

  • Change Beds

    When you try to switch beds to sleep better.

  • Visit to Texas

    I am going to Texas this Summer. If any Austin area friends are reading this please message me if you are okay with me sleeping on your sofa for a couple of days in the Summer. I am homesick for Texas, and teachers have Summers off.

  • Old is New

    By Andrea Menzies

    In the world of high technology everything old is new again. The newest Insignia Fire TV has one heck of a TV antenna in it, and a great channel search for broadcast TV. As people flee cable TV in masses due to streaming services being better people are switching back to the airwaves for local news. Newer televisions now flaunt an antenna. Everyone at my house now has a Fire TV with an antenna put on it.

    “They doubled my cable bill.” Said Anne Brockett before shutting off the cable. I agree it has been ridiculous for a while.

  • Mother’s Day Party

    My mom Anne, my daughter Alexandria, and I all had a mother’s day party for the weekend. Here are the best photos.
