Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. ~ Author Unknown
Here’s a shoutout to all the teachers out there: thanks for all you do to educate the next generation: it’s not an easy job, but the really important ones never are.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Pets
Meet Tilly, the newest member of our family!
My daughter adopted her from the local SPCA on Sunday. She is a 3 year-old, domestic short hair and is very petite, weighing in at 7.7 lbs.
I thought all cats were stand-offish and would only let you “love them up” when they wanted. Boy, was I wrong! Tilly is the sweetest girl and the most affectionate, loving cat I’ve ever met!
My daughter made a great choice in Tilly and the Pet theme featured by Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week came at a great time. I was going to share this picture on today’s post anyway…Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Z
Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while. ~ Author Unknown
“Z” is for zygote, as in the union of two separate cells, which form one.
A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos “joined” or “yoked”, from ζυγοῦν zygoun “to join” or “to yoke”), is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes. The zygote’s genome is a combination of the DNA in each gamete, and contains all of the genetic information necessary to form a new individual. (Courtesy of wikipedia.org)
Ironically, for the final letter in our A to Z Challenge, I’ve chosen something that denotes a beginning!
The zygote is created when the female gamete (ovum) joins with the male gamete (sperm) during fertilization. This process is the same for plants, animals and humans.
It never fails to amaze me that a tiny cell, like those pictured above, can grow into the engineering masterpiece that the human body is – and all in nine short months!
Two of the most interesting and informative classes I ever took in college were Human Anatomy and Physiology. I came away with an entirely new respect for how so many different parts, that perform vastly different tasks, all function in complete symbiosis!
Now, if we could only get the finished human products to work together with this same level of synergy and collaboration. We could pool a vast amount of intellect and creativity for the good of the planet…just imagine the possibilities!!
