sister bejos


Sister bejos didn't get much time with us but we sure did spend it well and we appreciated the hours of driving she did for a short 24 hours in our company.

on the road

Our annual trip east started with yet another flying debacle. Rain in Newark diverted our flight to Ohio for a few hours, which prompted a 100 meter dash through the crowded and un-airconditioned Newark airport. Ugh.

Being in that crowded city airport confirmed what we have suspectd for a long time now; we are not city people. We need wide open spaces.

off my needles


This lovely sweater has been shipped off to the newest member of my extended family. What does one call your cousin's baby?  I know someone out there knows the proper term.
The pattern inspiration can be found here, but the actual pattern is on Raverly.com here.

Vote!

Four Corners School and its Canyon Country Youth Corps are One of 500
Finalists for Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good Program.

Help us win a new car to make an even bigger difference!

Four Corners School and its Canyon Country Youth Corps are proud to
announce we’ve been selected as a finalist in Toyota’s 100 Cars for
Good Program. Now we need your support!

Tell your friends and vote for Four Corners School at
https://apps.facebook.com/carsforgood/

TODAY when we will be on the front page. Click on the Four
Corners School box and the Vote box.

Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program will be awarding 100 vehicles to
100 nonprofits over the course of 100 days based on votes from the
public. A total of 500 nonprofits were selected from more than 4,000
applications nationwide.   We are hoping to win a new Toyota
Highlander to help our Canyon Country Youth Corps get up to 100 youth
ages 15-25 outside a year for 4-24 weeks, restoring some amazing
landscapes.  Many of our locations are deep in the backcountry, too
far off the beaten path to walk in. Our crews drive more than 40,000
miles a year in a 100,000 square mile area! With a reliable, high
clearance vehicle, we can CCYC youth in the field. Our current support
vehicle has 198,000 miles, is low clearance, and on its last legs.
We'll supply the hard working youth food, tools, and positive
attitude, if Toyota supplies the ride, so we can get more work done!

and that chapter is over

It is official...I am no longer an employee of Four Corners School. This last week I gave up my sports car and drove away from my last duties of teacher training at base camp.


I'd say that now it is time to focus on my new job, but that transition started a long time ago, the moment I decided to accept the teaching position. I have already spent many hours in my classroom, I am reading lots of teacher-y books, and have I have lost many hours of sleep envisioning the first day of school.

check in with kicken bejos on Monday to help Four Corners School win a car!
