As you surely know by now,…

I just retired from teaching this past June!  Two months ago!

I taught special education kiddos with intellectual disabilities for 34 years.

So  I’ve been given and also have collected lots of teacher and school knick knacks over the years.

And this past month  I made some new school themed quilts to the mix  as well.

So all my summer stuff has been packed away in tubs in the

storage room in our basement for another year and the school décor is out!!
