“sunny days, sweepin’ the clouds away…”
sesame street turns 40 today.  i have said numerous times that i will be heartbroken when it goes off the air.  it is one of the very few tv shows/group of characters that several generations have strongly in common.  it is a big part of my preschool memories and it warms my heart to see it becoming the same for my daughters.  the writers/actors for this show somehow possess the rare ability to transcend time, musical styles, art, and culture, and they still are able to effectively TEACH simple reading, counting, and life concepts. 

dear blog,did you...
dear blog, did you miss me?  i hope that you didn’t feel neglected because i’ve been paying so much attention to your sister over there.  since you’re nice and rested, let’s jump right back in. love, katie
