One of my favorite things to do with my Mom was to search the beach for fossils and beach glass in the evening.
I made fairy houses in the woods near my home when I was little.
My sixth grade teacher kept a paper that I wrote about the fairy houses for nearly 20 years that he shared with his students.
I can almost feel the fabric of my Grandmother's dress, hear her shy laugh and taste her birthday cakes though she has been gone many years.
I liked to read and draw and my report cards always said that I talked too much.
I took ballet for four years until I thought it wasn't "cool" anymore.
My high school art teacher secretly applied for me to get an art scholarship and surprised me with it.
I am thankful the Lord gave me something to do with my hands.
I always notice people's hands first, I think they tell a lot about a person.
I am the middle child sandwiched between two brothers.
I learned some new things about you!
ReplyDeleteI want to read the fairy story. Do you have a copy? Children's Book Author and Illustrator could still be in your future. Give it a try. You can test your stories on us Bloggers.
I agree I learned some things I never knew about you. That's scarey you look at peoples hands (mine are starting to look "old"). Guess that's why your hands are alaways so nicely manicured. I want to read the fairy story too. Please!!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post. Thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging comments. My sixth grade teacher, Mr. McDonald, said that he was going to give me a copy of my paper but then he passed away. I do know that I titled it "My Secret Place".
