Read MoreLatham Students Attend Plymouth Whale Watch
Six students and two staff braved the elements on a chilly Cinco de Mayo and rode on the Tails of the Sea out to Stellwagen Bank in Cape Cod Bay to see the whales. The day was not promising and we did not think we would see many whales. As it turns out we must…
Read MoreThe Latham Campus is in the Midst of Spring Cleansing!
Wow. It seems like overnight, the gardens, trees and birds have erupted all around us! Spring has gloriously arrived and Latham School is shaking off her winter coat! The painters are coming, the grass is being mowed, the kids are prepping the gardens and picnic lunches, long overdue, are happening. Latham School is situated on…
Read MoreOut and About!
It seems to finally be true! Spring has arrived at Latham School! Kids are playing in the sun. Shouts are reaching my windows from the playground and daffodils are blooming all around us. Physical activity is especially important to our students and nothing beats an afternoon out and about. So, I plan to emulate them…
Read MoreYou Live Where??
Sweden, Mongolia, Turkey, Singapore and India. Oh, and let’s not forget Plano, Texas! I love maps. There is something intriguing to me about all of the far away destinations. One of the first things I do when I settle in for a flight is to pull the airline magazine out and find the flight routes…

They have spectacular weather, gorgeous scenery, farmer’s markets in February and a very laid back lifestyle (If only there was an ocean it would be perfect). What…
Read MoreA Fish Out of Water
I am a fish out of water. Literally. I am in the desert for awhile and I am definitely an ocean girl. This makes for interesting looks I am getting from people around town. First, I don’t dress like a cowgirl. No cowboy hat, no boots. I wear what I like and I can tell…
Read MoreThe “To Do List”
My head hurts. It isn’t because I’m sick. It’s my “to do” list. How in the world do I have so many partially finished tasks? If I am honest, it is probably more truthful to say partially started. I have really good intentions but lately I have gotten off track. I think of it like…
Read MoreFinding Your Way
I get lost often. Usually the only thing I lose is time. I have developed a “10 minute” window that I add to my driving time allowing me the inevitable wrong turn corrector. I thought the development of the GPS would eliminate my need for the extra time but I never count on it getting…
