July 5, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / community, growing, history, Mark Charles, seasons

  It’s the week before finals at our high school. And it shows–whether in my brain-fried students, two of whom called me completely different names the other day, or in myself, who later the same day stopped at a green light for no apparent reason, yielding my husband’s alarm and taking over the driving after […]
