Friday afternoon Tommy dropped by to catch me up on some financial information and said he would take me to PaPa Johns for a small pizza 🍕 to take back and eat! So happy!!! Love Pizza! 💗 ! 💗Tommy!
As I returned to the front desk to sign in I remembered a package was waiting for me ( my red scarf) but then I was surprised to see another unexpected package waiting… it was from Honey!
But when I unwrapped it… an Omaha Steak box stared back at me??? Shouldn’t it be frozen? I immediately popped it in the freezer… and later called Honey to thank her and asked her if I did right sticking it in the freezer.
There was a a long pause and then Honey managed to gasp… laughing” No you can pull it back out and you will see what’s in it and it certainly doesn’t need to be frozen. Only box I could find to put something in to get to you! “
I hung up and started opening the box and there was a brown bag inside.
I then opened the brown bag and inside another plastic bag with heart pins Honey made from the kiln to give to me to share with the medical and food aides here and friends for Valentines.
The Amazing Honey Burrell!
One of the helpers took a picture of me today with my new red scarf and lying between it my new red heart!
So yes… God does have a sense of humor… after all …He created me -didn’t He?😂
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.”
Honey is the most thoughtful! Love your scarf and the cute little red hearts!
How sweet of Honey to think of you so you could think of every one who helps you.
