About Me

My photo
Recent retiree--35 year's experience teaching reading, English, adult basic education and volunteer leadership skills. Started this blog to exchange ideas and commentary with friends and others having an interest in joining the discussions. Greatest life accomplishments include: 1.organized my 3rd grade class to check out library books for me to get around librarian's weekly limit--Amazon.com, the Mullins Elementary 3rd Grade Class of 1956 is still waiting for "thank you" notes; 2. volunteered in the Peace Corps, island of St. Kitts, West Indies; 3.taught adults to read, earn their GEDs., and speak English as a second language; 4. bought a border collie puppy for $6, got evicted rather than give him up, and began a life-long love affair with all things "Dog"; 5. joined a physical fitness boot camp in my mid-50s--don't mess with someone who's been doing regulation pushups in wet grass at 5:30 a.m.; 6. walked across Northern England with best friend Sally--over 80 miles from the Irish to North Seas; and 7. travelled to many foreign countries for pleasure and work.

Fall Nostalgia


Welcome Fall!  Yesterday I celebrated the first day of fall by looking back through last year's glorious day on a photo shoot in Bernheim Forest.  This photo is from the canopy walk over the treetops.  A wonderful view that had me feeling a bit nostalgic.  With the extremely dry weather this year we may not have this color.  And then there was missing my good old boy Willie the Pit Bull who was my shooting partner for this day.  When the trees turn, I'll take Chet to Bernheim Forest for a photo day, but he'll have big paws to fill.

TexWisGirl-how long have you been TWGirl and not just WGirl? Hope whoever or whatever made you transplant was worth the homesickness.

Just lovely. A few of our leaves are changing--I'm hoping they will all soon be colored by our Creator. It's such a beautiful season.
