An Autumn Picture Perfect Story…

The funniest thing happened yesterday… timing could not have been more perfect!

Mandy bravely grabbed the razor and we went outside on the deck where she removed stray lipsy old hair that only grew in certain areas that I couldn’t reach and then washed my head and added oil and cream… it felt so good!

I decided to have some fun and take a shadow picture of it ( like our other Ya Ya picture at the beach.) Just then the phone started ringing and it was Anne Peterson ” face-timing me!” Awkward… not exactly a Kodak moment…started laughing -texted Anne and explained the situation and then she was laughing too!

She told me she was in my garden and it was beautiful… morning glories in full bloom and my little garden was thriving all by itself! My 13 year old garden had taken charge! I was so proud! ( top Pictures)

So strange how earlier in the day I had seen beauty right outside Mandy’s and realized when we take our focus off God’s beauty staring us in the face… and over-focus on our problems… we can not find the peace that God is sending us!

So many happy things occurring around me like…

Honey’s precious new puppy-Mollie May!!!such happiness on Honey’s face.. such love!

Today is my favorite day-Winnie the Pooh

So until tomorrow… laughter is the best medicine… love this Halloween joke!

Prayers today please as I return to my oncologist to see if all our efforts are paying off! 🙏🏻💗

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”
