When I was moving ” Big Red and Little Big Red” to my new home I moved planter hooks and later realized how important it is to buy heavy iron stakes or your hanging basket goes on a free form ride every time the wind picks up!
I am sure it is experiencing our own Wise Men or Shepard’s roles in our own first Christmas pageant that also introduces us to the difference between shepherds watching their flock by night with a staff and heavy planter hooks to secure heavy hanging baskets.

So until tomorrow… staffs, hooks. crooks throughout history ….every type has a place in man’s history… protecting, and beautifying!
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.”
