WHAT?!? 😳 You don’t care for candy corn, and you’re my twin?😳😱 I love love love it! 😍 I guess that means there’s more for me, although I can’t take too much of it. It’s yummy, but sweet, just like my jelly beans, and all that sugar just puts me to sleep. 😴 it’s a very happy sleep, though! Candy corn and caramels are my favorite treats this time of year.

I’ve never heard of Speak Up for Service Day, but I do know a little bit about the Lions clubs in my area. I know they give local high schoolers opportunities to develop and practice public speaking skills. I know I have former students who would tell you I talk to much, but public speaking in front of a crowd of adults terrifies me! 😱 The Lions in my area also support low-income children who need help paying for eye appointments and eye glasses, making a big difference in being more successful as students. When I was a new teacher in my two-room school, I had a class that was all girls except for one boy. That one boy was a “messy Marvin,” but, oh so lovable. He needed glasses, but his family couldn’t afford them, so the Lions paid for his glasses. Every morning, after messy Marvin got to school, the girls would take his glasses and wash them for him. How they got so dirty in 24 hours, I don’t know, but that sweet class of girls were just like momma hens to Messy Marvin, and he felt very special, and the quality of his school work, which the girls also helped him with, improved greatly after he got his glasses. He wasn’t the only boy for long, though. Just before Christmas vacation, I got a new student...another boy! 🤓

I know that corporations and celebrities have publicists, but I never really thought about how that profession got started. It’s not a job I’d be interested in doing, but I enjoyed reading about the history. 😊

It is a chilly foggy morning here this morning, and I love it! Guess what woke me up from my nap yesterday? Something I’ve never had happen to me my entire life...a tornado warning! ⚠️🌪 Oregon can average 1-2 tornadoes a year, and they can cause damage, but nothing on the scale of damage done in the Midwest. We have never had a warning in my area, though. This one came over the tv, and since I was asleep, I thought the alarm was just a required monthly test. When I realized it was the real thing, I was wide awake. Thankfully, the tornado that triggered the warning was 12 miles away, and there was only that one.

Sending cozy autumn morning hugs! They’re foggy, but oh, so colorful! 🤗🐶🤗🍃🍁🍂🧡🎃
