Georgie Yawns


Aggie Muster

Aggie Muster is a yearly tradition at A&M in which all the Aggies that died in the previous year are honored. Granddaddy was an Aggie (c/0 '48) and having died last October, had a candle lit in his honor at the service.

In this picture, Mom and Richard look at Granddaddy's table in the Reflections room at the MSC.
The Century Singers, Singing Cadets, Women's Chorus, and Reveliers sing the Prelude at the beginning of the Muster service.Mom and Richard sit in the crowd before the service. Lizzie got to hold the candle that was lit for Granddaddy since she is a current student. She still has a few tears in her eyes after the service. Lizzie drove us around town during the day before the service. I think she looks so pretty in this picture! Lizzie, Richard, and Cassie in the Flag Room at the MSC.

Tallulah (Lizzie's roommate's dog) and Georgie had fun playing together.

Zebra bag

Here I am posing with the new zebra bag my mom and Richard gave me for my birthday and trying out the timer on my digital camera for the first time. Behind me is a beautiful painting of a day lily that John painted in 2004.

You Are What You Eat - Day 3

Here are the two fruit and veggie portraits finished! After the faces were colored, students cut them out, glued them to a color-coordinated sheet of construction paper and then cut out again.

Confetti Chili and Strawberry Ice Cream

Tonight I made Confetti Chili from "The Food You Crave" by Ellie Krieger (thanks Jena!) and strawberry ice cream in my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. The chili was really delicious and the strawberry ice cream (although still firming in the freezer) is fabulous!

Teacher Appreciation Portraits

My fourth and fifth grade art students drew portraits of teachers at school for a "Teacher Appreciation" bulletin board. Here is my portrait, drawn by one of my fifth grade girls. I think it's so cute and is a good likeness.
