2. This statement necklace and an accompanying mustard outfit

arrived in my mailbox this week.

I can't wait to wear this piece!!

 3. Turns out that there IS a cure for Shingles...

adorable get well soon basket from a sweet friend.

 A polka-dotted pumpkin!?!?!

I'm feeling healed already.

 4. Found my first yummy peaches of the season.

 I'm in the market for a fresh peach pie recipe.

Do you have one you'd like to share??

5. I had a great teacher moment this week.

I had prepared myself to deal with a really hard student this year.

I'd been warned by his previous teachers

but I didn't let their Debbie Downer attitude cloud my optimism 

that we were going to have a good year together.

I figured out that this little boy LOVES to feel needed and likes to help out.

So I came up with a list of jobs that I needed his help with each day.

He seemed to be in heaven.

Smiles from ear to ear, very complimentary e-mails from his parents

and to top it off:

I asked him to do one extra job for me and he said,

"I'd do ANYTHING for you, Mrs. Jordan!"

I think this is going to be a great year for both of us.

I also found this note tucked into my teacher planner from him:
