Butch, Susan’s husband, came over yesterday and added planted lantern lights in by himself … so beautiful when the two turned-on after it got dark-Butch is amazing! Anne remembered taking Brooke’s photo at Edisto and turned it into a work of heart about horizons! And they are still there today.
I had a long night last tWednesday night into Thursday when finally my nurse ‘s Medicine did its thing resulting into clear “bowels “….yes those ” bowels!”
Then Butch came by , himself, to add black iron wrought
lanterns embedded in the garden soil and just as darkness fell they both came on.
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.”
I went to visit S. Carolina specifically to see Edisto island! It’s there that a favorite author writes books about a female law person that keeps the peace and solves murder mysteries on her beloved island. C. Hope Clark. Have you read any? I love the painting, it’s very good!
