As you know, it’s getting to the end of the school year and, like many teachers, hubby is nearly burnt out. So I try to make his mornings (he gets up before me) enjoyable. This year’s theme: music. Here are some musicians I’ve left for him. #teachers

Every time I visit my brother I leave something behind. From an ‘I Saw That’ Jesus sign to tiny rubber ducks. All over the house. Was at his last week. When I got home I found spark plugs in my handbag, carry bag, and car. Brother is a mechanic. Well played brother. Well played. 🤣🤣🤣

When you read ‘cook until golden brown’ in food instructions, you must sing the golden brown part like the Strangers. I don’t make the rules.

Tonight’s movie: Titus, directed by Julie Taymor, a graphic retelling of Shakespeare’s somewhat disturbing play Titus Andronicus. Hint: if you want to know where Game of Thrones got the idea to bake sons into a pie, this play is it. #shakespeare
