Vickie exclaims the newest beauty in my yard The Old Pear Tree- doesn’t last long but ” Oh the beauty” ” will live in memoriam !
And with Susan and Butch’s help ( Butch dropped by yesterday when he put in underground lightning! So excited about Vickie’s and mine’s yards pulling Spring faster to each of us!
Tonight my under ground night lights will come on the first time… can hardly wait! New hanging basket on heavy/laden rod to hold the red gorgeous basket with no problem!
So it appears both Vickie and I are happy about our spring enhancement… Pray the blog will pop up tomorrow -had a terrible night with constipation-good new- on the toilet all… but unfortunately ALL ALL night! 😞 Whew!
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.”
