two teachers’ retirement party fond adieu!   I put school supplies over the teacher's name to retain her privacy. A sheet cake was made  for each of the two teachers .   They were each also gifted with a vase of flowers, personal gifts and a scrapbook filled with students' photos  and other memorabilia. Plus the students of each grade, K-8, greeted each teacher during the course  of the party. I wish both teachers the joy of retirement with time to read all the books they’ve wanted to read,  to spend more time with their families, to pursue any hobbies they like, but had little time to do so,  and,  selfishly, time to spend with me! Happy Retirement, ladies! sharing with ABC Wednesday created by Mrs. Nesbitt and hosted this week by Troy

using the dry hill as an example of my mouth's inside regions have e X cellent fun by heading over to ABC Wednesday for more 'X' words! I told my doctor that I constantly suffered from dry mouth, or xerostomia as I discovered on Phrontistery today. He explained that one particular medication I take could be responsible for it. His solution? Drink more water! Of course, if I cared to read all the pages of side effects of all my medications, I'd probably want to forego them.
