Alphabe Thursday ~ “D” and “E"



"D” Delinquent ~ Turned in Late

Dear Ms. Matlock,
   I am delinquent. Because of all of the Benchmark testing at our school last week, I did not do my “D” assignment. Doesn’t that sound familiar...I am no better than the kids!
   Please forgive me for not doing my homework. I know I have NO excuse. I have the choice to either do it or not, but I’d really appreciate it if you would not fail me this time.  I will try harder in the future to make a few more hours in the day so I can turn in to you on time. I will not tell you a fib and say my dog ate it...I did it...and I am very sorry.

Sincerely yours,
Genie

  3. Wonderful E. The best you could have done. Thanks for sharing! I love fun mysteries also. Have stacks of series that I have to pick up the next one when ever it comes out. Usually come home with 3 at a time from B & N Books. The 1st in the new Bee Keeping series was a good one.

  10. what a wonderful bucket list ... but the organizing part ... do we ever get truly organized??? that's a tough one ... recording family history for the elderly ... that's brilliant and would actually be a very interesting thing to do!

  18. My son is a red head. Love red heads. Your bucket list looked great.
    I also teach and have done a million benchmarks...so I totally understand why that would make you delinquent. :-)

  23. I smiled when I read your link. My husband had an Aunt Eugenia and I have heard so many stories I was enchanted before I even opened your post for Alphabe-Thursday.

    I love your bucket list. And everything you shared here.

    What an interesting and fun stop!

    Thank you for linking.
