Elenka

It's her birthday!
We've celebrated a few together.
There are more to come.
Her high school yearbook said she wanted to be an artist. Done! He friends called her El. I still do. Under her picture, it stated that she 'hates green foam rubber'. She STILL does. Fast forward four years and here she was at Monclair State working on her art and graduating with her degree. That next fall she had jumped to Maine and started teaching secondary school art. In the spring of her first year in Maine, I strolled into KMS to do my student teaching, worked in a room across the hall, saw her that first day at lunch, and it was all over.
I was captivated!
The rest is history... our history together.
Happy Birthday, darling!
