Things I Will Do This Year As A Teacher

I know I can't HATE the Beibes but my students definitely 

have a LOVE/HATE relationship with him.

This would be perrrrfect for those who ALWAYS forget their dang pencils.

 Forget doing this for students - I'm going to do it for those

boring WASTE OF TIME meetings that we 

all have to endure every now and again!

ha!

Pretty sure the head of my department would go for this....What do you say Peter?

Too cute....GOTTA do it for my little grades!

Not sure how I am going to make this one work...but NOVEL idea!

Funny pictures (by teachers) just HAVE TO BE DONE.

Period.

It's gonna be a good year.

Kids Are Amazing - Officially

Maybe it's just me but seeing my nephew play on a 

ipad all by himself is just amazing...

One morning, all by himself he just sat there dragging the 

right letters on the right words.

WOW

It doesn't take a lot to impress auntie Lolo but still....

LOOK AT WHAT KIDS CAN DO !!!

Just amazing.

Sorry, I can't help it - kids fascinate me...of course not all the time.

JUST THINK - WHAT WILL THEY (3 year-old's) BE ABLE 

TO DO 10 YEARS FROM NOW?

Mmmm

Plants on ROIDS in Dhaka

My mom would know what plant this is...

I thought it was your typical 'Lily' flower but is it not

MASSIVE?!?

Pretty sure we don't got those in Canada...

I was completely over whelmed by the SMELL too!

Picture just before I passed out due to the strong odour - ha!

How to Eat A Muffin 101.

Thank YOU Leia!

I now know HOW to eat a muffin.

(watch out for crumbs in the nose)

 Over the past few years being Crazy-AUNTIE-Lolo,

I've learnt so much from my nieces and nephews.

No, I cannot sum it all up.

HOWEVER

one thing is for certain...

KIDS make better TEACHERS than teachers!

(particularly in my case)

Just saying.

*smile*

Safety First..even in the Desh

Some things never change...

I will always look this ridiculous when biking at night.

har-har!

New tennis courts..? YES PLEASE!

I came back from this summer's holiday only to 

find out that the old tennis court at the Bagha Club

is getting a FACE-LIFT!

Well, it's kinda cool - isn't it?

I tried to grab a brush and help paint...No-no Madame is all they kept repeating

(although I'm sure in Bangla they said, what is she NUTS?!?)

It's the little things that get me excited these days.

Yes, indeed I have turned into an old lady!

Guess that's what happens when you become a teacher, go overseas, live alone

and pretend that your life still has meaning by playing

a not so popular sport regularly?

NAW - I'M JUST CRAZY!

(Pheeew - glad something don't change)

Life in Dhaka = boring.

Little Bits&Bites from Wildcat Island

 And so our tale begins...

This is the lake, this is the island and that is our very-very-very
FINE COTTAGE!

Wait, I don't see it...where?!?

Chilin' is a MUST here...

Lots of fun on decks with Gaga and hot tub pool...don't ask why it was hot!

Lots of serious talks have been had down by the docks
(a.k.a. on the deck chairs, on the docks, in the fine afternoon sun!)

Don't mind if I do....opps, was that yours?
My bad.

So much family, might need to invest in some new couches...just saying.

I don't see the resemblance...who are these guys?

Someone named Samm-O is getting a little FRISKY with Gaga!

On the right of your screen would be the island called "BBQ island".
No, no one has EVER had a barbe-Q party let alone gone over there to visit.
Maybe next year....errrr...no.

The Chef de Nage...Man in Charge...King of Thrones?
Okay - okay, Humpty Dumpty!!! 

What do we have here? Is this the same Sir John that we just saw in the last picture?
On the floor of the playroom? GOOFING around with baby Samm-O?
YUP. CAUGHT YA DAD!

The 2016 beach site for the Wells'ssss first volleyball beach tournament.
Mark it in your calendars, gonna be a BIG deal.

It's the JANE! Swimming while being supervised by her son wearing a life-jacket.
Safety first is what we emphasis, even when watching others - ha!

The place that I love the most...magic happens in the kitchen at the cottage.
Dinners with chef Crazy-Auntie-Lolo are classics and
always remembered (or laughed about)
Example?
Prune-oatmeal muffins..I didn't have any raisins. Delicious, no?
We not a hit so we made GRANNY eat them all - hah!

Speaking of Granny....we got three generations...no - correction!
FOUR generations here - whoa!

Hot tub turned into wave pool...no big deal.
(we have it all at the cottage - CLEARLY!)

REPEAT - had to have this picture again because just I love it so much!
(both of them are REALLY enjoying themselves - too cute)

Hi there cutie....Malcolm and his famous hat!

Just a typical sunset.

And so our story comes to an end....stay tuned for next summer's visit
to the island as there will be even MORE Wells'sssss
(if you can believe it!)
And kiddies AGLORE which is a recipe for a lot more CRAZY-CIRCUS-SHENANIGANS!!!

Luv my life.

First Day Back to School

So...yeah.

Nuff said.

Two of Us - Sing Along

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

(me and my bike ;-)

Two of us wearing raincoats

Standing solo in the sun

You and me chasing paper

Getting nowhere on our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home 

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

We're going home
You better believe it, goodbye
