I'm walking through this right now with my 14 year old. I feel for you. It's so hard. :grouphug: :grouphug:

I teach first grade. The teacher you subbed for did not do her job. My lesson plans for subs include everything I can think of to help the sub have a smooth and successful day.

Take the toll road! It'll save you tons of time. Have a great time! My folks live in Conroe.

I cook mainly with stainless steel and cast iron. I use non-stick occasionally. My pots and pans are made by Calphalon.

I like the muted tones of the first one better. I also like the scripture written on the bottom.

To be honest, I would be pouring over the take out menus that deliver to your hotel. Chinese, Thai, Mexican. Have fun!

For me the simple answer is No. It's different, shocking to our modern sensitivities, different culture, but not weird.

I love that song! My dad and his brothers play it on their guitars and sing. Every time I hear it, I cry. It makes me think of my childhood. My first concert at six years old was a John Denver Concert. We even had a John Denver song sung at our wedding.
