| okay, mama, done at slow speed |
conversation starter this week:
did you look forward to starting school (either elementary, junior high, senior high or Uni ?)
I think I always looked forward to the new school year, new teacher in elementary, new desk, new notebooks, new books to cover in brown paper bags.... new school shoes!!!
Of course there were also new PE uniforms that made even the skinny among us look fat, new KEDS to write our names on, new musical instruments to carry around all year in band and heavy wool uniforms in band complete with hat plumes that have been worn by hundreds of students (don't worry they were probably dry cleaned)
Did I tell you this was in sunny Florida?
the real excitement came in starting University.... setting up my own schedule, buying books, getting a USF t-shirt, and highlighters to ruin my new books with... good times!
A highlight for me was going to the church school out of state which meant staying in a dorm, whee! My second year of Uni was spent in TN and i loved the dorm experience! Remember it was a church school so they watched us like a hawk, we went to chapel every morning, and they frowned on wearing make up and jeans in the 70's. Still... I liked sort of being on my own, no parent to wake me if I didn't have an early class to attend, no parent to remind me to brush my teeth or not wear jeans.
I always liked learning, and was successful in it, so aside from coping with snotty students who made fun of a girl with big feet to grow into, I enjoyed school
OMG this is brilliant... if you have a drill bit like this and know how to use it!

I'm so sorry to hear that life is weighing you down. Hopefully you feel the prayers and good thoughts coming your way. Yes - I did look forward to school starting, both as a student and as a teacher. It was a fresh start each year. The 4 years I spent in college were some of the best. We are planning to attend our 50th reunion of college graduation in late September. Class of '76.
Putting one foot in front of the other is about the only way to get through the hard times, so keep going! You're finding beautiful skies and flowers to photograph, and sweet Alfie. I hated those PE uniforms, too. It was always such a pain to have to change clothes during the school day! Sending you prayers and positive thoughts.
Sending you love and prayers!
Hang in there. Hugs.
Love the pumpkin lights!
Alfie, you are such a sweet guy and your yellow fire hydrant is pretty cool. I'm sorry to hear that things are not going well, mega prayers coming your way. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Yes, it was always exciting a new school year!
I have always loved the start of a new school year, as a student and then as a teacher. I remember getting a new trapper keeper each year and I still love school supplies :) Thank you for linking up.
I absolutely hated school, primarily because I was bullied quite a bit. It was a happy day when I finally graduated and it was over. However...where did I get my first job?....as a secretary in a high school.
The rose shot looks like a work of art! I loved the first day of school to wear new shoes and clothing and to be back with school friends. Hugs to you, Leeanna♥
I hope things turn around for you soon. I think a lot of people are struggling right now. That's a pretty moon photo!
Don't give up hope. Sometimes we go through a dark and sad time, but in the end it works out for the best. Praying for you.
