Number 11

This past Sunday I started my 11th year of working with the Alabama Governor's School. For two weeks each summer since 1998, I have moved the most important of my belongings into a dorm room, eaten cafeteria food, driven 15 passenger vans, and hung out with high school students, and I have honestly loved each year of it. The students keep us entertained with the funny things they say and discuss and do and they keep you on your toes. My favorite quote so far from one of these "best of the best" is as follows: "If you don't wake up in the morning, there is no hope for a good day." Thank you Gillis from Andalusia for giving us that to ponder.

  1. Hey, hope all is well! We missed you Sunday. When are you coming to see Isabella? You are welcome anytime of course. Maria gets home about 6 every day.

  2. You can always count on words of wisdom from Andalusians! There's not much we don't know about!
