I'm turning off my computer so I get some other things done tonight ... like fix & eat dinner :)<BR/><BR/>It's been fun getting acquainted in this way, and I'll look forward to future interaction. Hmmm ... if you're looking for something else to do tonight, check out my Christmas Carol Quiz posted November 28th and the nifty Award posted on the 29th (or not).

Of course my family & friends in the "real world" would be quick to add that I'm excited by most things in life (often digging for the pony in a pile of shit). Sigh!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the words of welcome. At the moment, my sister is on the road with her husband (has been since June or before). They're planning to be out there RVing for a couple of years (give or take) so our only contact is by cell phone (she avoids all things related to computers). <BR/><BR/>In addition, my two best friends have been on the road since September and just joined up with sis & hubby ... somewhere near Cape Hatteras looking for Wild Horses (among other things). C and J should return sometime next month, but for now my only contact with the two of them is by cell and email so it's good to have this Virtual World to explore so I don't feel lonely with everyone gone.<BR/><BR/>Catherine,<BR/>Thanks for stopping by and introducing yourself. I appreciate your kind words and am happy to meet YOU as well ;)<BR/><BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-63213388310259179602007-11-09T12:29:00.000-08:002007-11-09T12:29:00.000-08:00I don't think I've ever heard that song!

It looks like you have two lovely blogs - and from your titles and descriptions, I think we have similar blogging goals. I'm happy to "meet" you. :)<BR/><A HREF="http://catherinemcniel.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">catherine</A>Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316677018586769316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-43886265960683871092007-11-08T15:40:00.000-08:002007-11-08T15:40:00.000-08:00You are really going hell for leather with all the...You are really going hell for leather with all the blog stuff!!

While playing with Mol...First things first, Karen. While playing with Molly just now, I remembered the last part of the lyric. Memory's funny that way.<BR/><BR/>After "Granny's pies" & the "belly-ache" the 3rd verse continues ...<BR/><BR/>Fished with Grandpa in his boat<BR/>Pulled the plug, it wouldn't float.<BR/>Soon we were swimming in the lake.<BR/>I knew I'd made a big mistake ... <BR/><BR/>(followed the the chorus that you might recall by now)<BR/><BR/>As for why you didn't have a teacher like me ... I'll take that as a compliment and hold it close to my heart today. Sometimes I miss the kids ... but I don't miss being in public schools today (though I do believe in free public education the way it ought to be ... NOT driven by Standardize Tests that by definition mean half of those who take them will score below the 50th percentile since they're based on a Bell Curve.) Sheesh -- don't get me started! I tend to rant on this subject.<BR/><BR/>So ... I'll publish this comment and walk away from the computer singing ...<BR/>"I'm not perfect and I know I never will be. No one's perfect, I know it's true. Sisters and brothers, teachers, dads and mothers, all make mistakes ... and I do too."storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-89742921314409631652007-11-08T07:53:00.000-08:002007-11-08T07:53:00.000-08:00How come I never had a teacher like you oh so long...How come I never had a teacher like you oh so long ago, when I was still in school?
