“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.” –E.B. White-
Traveling across the new Tapen Zee Bridge in New York
Opened wide a doorway to new adventures. Bridges do that. The sky was excited. I felt it, too. Anticipation.
The sky changed with a rainbow on the side of the sun.
The heavens seemed to open.
And we crossed a golden bridge.
May your travels be safe and wondrous this holiday. Enjoy your family, large and small, near and far. Happy Thanksgiving.

About Jennie
I have been teaching preschool for over thirty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I am highlighted in the the new edition of Jim Trelease's bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at both the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jennie. Travel on holidays makes me quake. Even just across town. Bridges are wonderful at helping us connect with each other.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Marlene. I know what you mean about bridges (I feel the same way about big cities), and they do connect us. I could never drive in the city! 🦃
Have a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
Thank you, Darlene. And to you as well! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving, Jennie. I used to go over the old Tappin Zee Bridge. This is a big improvement.
It is a huge improvement and a major change in bridge styles. Pretty impressive. Happy Thanksgiving to you, John. 🦃

Thank you, Debby. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, traveling to Virginia to be with our son and his family. Every day started with the grandkids jumping on our bed before 7:00 AM. Non-stop Grammy fun till their bedtime. Life is good!
So wonderful! That makes life worth living! 🙂
Yes, it does! Best to you, Debby. 😀
You too, Jennie. I’ve been a bit under the weather, so pardon this being so slow. Wishes still count.
No worries. Hope you’re feeling better. And wishes definitely count. 🙂
