Do you need a tour guide? Photographer? chef? :D

Ok- getting a little misty-eyed here. I found the student who is the reason I became a teacher! I was only going to do it for a year and then I had this student who had been brutally mistreated by his teachers- called lazy, never going to become anything. But he was sweet kind and smart.

And guess what? He DID become something: Open Original Shared Link

SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He does beautiful work.

Is the wallet department next to the frame department now?

Gosh. We have a big storm from Alaska headed toward us.

Whoa! That's Ottawa weather!

I had a 7th grader say "Hey- you wore that shirt LAST Thursday too!" Thank you for tracking my fashion

Do you know, what is even funnier is that I've heard this kind of thing from my students, as well.. . . . .....35-year old diplomats!!

Bev!! What a terrific story! And this talented man's success is due completely to you. You need to get in touch with him and demand one of those beautiful ceramic pots in return for all you've done for him!....'Tis the very least he can do . . .. . ..

Well.....I can certainly see how you would suspect it might be me. But you see, like the reject photos that I clandestinely leave in the Walmart frames, I would only leave reject teeth in their wallets. All would have to be cracked, filled, chipped. . ....... .. ....most of these teeth were in pristine shape.

Why would anybody leave great pics or great teeth within Walmart products??

That is just nuts!!

:lol: Yes- ALL due to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I emailed him and said Hey- is this you? It's your English teacher from 15 years ago (stalker? ). Either way, you're pottery's great!

He really is the reason I went into teaching. He was such a good kid- so much potential but had been beaten down by his teachers. I had him as a student when I was a tutor at a ski academy (the kids left their home schools for 6 months- tutoring in the a.m. and training in the afternoon, competing on the weekend). Amazing mogul skier!

At the end of the season, he gave me this note- he had made a mandala and inside written me a thank you note. Gawd, I miss that job!

The sun did come out briefly this afternoon before retreating again.

WOW! :sosososososojealousface:

[Lisa]

Hello Sillies! Thought I'd drop in and say hello. I'll catch up in about a week or two.

[flourgirl]

Does seem awfully quiet here today. Niknik has resorted to posting elsewhere! Are you sure you're allowed out of Psillyville? Of course!

Really nice here today...I worked outside in a sleeveless shirt! Almost as good as summer...YAHOOOOOO! I started terracing the hill in the back yard last year...worked on that some more. Telehubby is building a swing/glider to go back there. Can't wait!

Pieter.....is in heat...record breaking....gooood deal!

[elye]

POeter's in HEAT??

...All those pizzles he's got in stock...... . . .

[psawyer]

Hmmm.

Is "being in heat" in any way related to "having the hots?"

The heat wave is subsiding. It is down to 5^oC, and tomorrow will not reach double digits. It is expected to rain in the afternoon and evening. Most of the snaugh has turned to water and run away.

Bev, your teacher and former student story resonated with me. Sometimes paths recross years later. The man who unsuccessfully tried to teach me English Literature in the 12th grade is a customer in my store. English Lit just wasn't something I took to.

[jerseyangel]

Yes, I believe they're one and the same

[elye]

Good Morning, Tareeeeesuh! I see ya!

Hope you have more stupendous weather down your way... . .I can hear in your voice (writing?) how excited you are to be outside playing in your yard!

I have been staring at the white siding wall that is the back of our garage for some time now.......being an artist, I just need to fill big white spaces like that. I have some experience painting outdoor murals, and have been long researching what paint would work on the aluminum.

Well....all of a sudden, the plans have changed. Yesterday I stopped in my tracks outside one of our local art shops.....there I saw these big series of metal works, meant to be hung against a wall. I bought them immediately, not even knowing if they will lie flat against the siding, if they will completely rust within a month. . . ...

Crazy, impulsive artistic-emotions-are-stirred buying.

I will coat them with marine varnish, and see how things go.......will put up a pic.

English Lit just wasn't something I took to.

What? Hmmmmm....ya didn't have the right teacher. . . .. ...

This is phunny, POeter, as you have such a literary family and you write so well yourself.
