Recent retiree--35 year's experience teaching reading, English, adult basic education and volunteer leadership skills.

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.

Friday Fences - Late Summer





(Click on photos to enlarge.)

Late summer, you say? Yes, definitely for someone who is eager for fall. Spotted this fence and plant filled yard in Norton Commons, a "boutique community" outside Louisville and it just had the feel of summer's ending.

Lovely late summer flowers in this beautifully kept neighborhood. I never heard the term 'boutique community' but now I know exactly what it means!
