When I giggle at my goal as a fifth grader to write a story a day, collecting thick purple folders of words and pictures, stapled into books, I remember the process of learning to live a creative life.  It was then that I realized the more I wrote, the more I had to write.  The more [...]

I’ve been admiring Ruth’s Photoshop talent for quite some time. She encouraged me to try out Photoshop Elements 7.0 (PSE), which has a free online trial. I started toying around with it yesterday. I wound up becoming sentimental (my first wedding anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks) and created [...]

Through the years… Originally uploaded by teachergal I took one of the lean prompts, and some of the questions Sprague gave us during the Stories in Hand Class, and used them to start writing a piece about my best friend and I (and how we met). Then, I started doing some writing, in which I played [...]

Growing up, we traveled deep into the hills of the Ozarks in Arkansas for Thanksgiving dinner with my grandparents.  We used to sing, “Through the river and over the hills to Grandma’s house we go,” since we actually drove through a creek and traversed over mountains to get to our Thanksgiving feast. This year, my parents, [...]

This week’s Memoir Monday Post was a cinch for me to do since I’m writing about my roots for the “Stories in Hand” Class I’ve been taking. I let my writing take me a little off-course from the prompt Sprague gave us, which was, “How much snow was there as a child?” I [...]

Overstuffed File Tote Originally uploaded by teachergal When I lived in Manhattan I never carried that much stuff to and from school daily. After all, I couldn’t negotiate the stairs on the subway platforms at 86th and 103rd Streets with too much in my hands. Therefore, I’m perplexed at how much stuff I take to [...]

Jersey Tomatoes. The sound of those two words evokes a strong smell memory. I can smell the garden-fresh, bright red, ripe tomatoes my father grew in our backyard when I was a little girl. The aroma of the soil, the smell of the vines, and the taste of the tomatoes whose juice [...]

Each one is different… Each child’s name is on the reverse side… Originally uploaded by teachergal My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Fass, was caring and compassionate. She also made learning FUN! I’ll never forget what she did for us during the December Holidays when I was in fourth grade. She ordered five personalized pencils, complete with [...]

I woke up from my nap as the car turned into the cemetery yesterday morning. It was a crisp, sunny fall morning, not much different than the morning we laid my Grandmother to rest last year. My father navigated the car through the twists and turns of the cemetery, not stopping at the [...]

Earlier this week I wrote a quick write in my writer’s notebook about getting my cabbage patch kid.  (Last week for Memoir Monday, I toyed with the So What? of writing about Laney.)  I thought I’d get it scanned and then posted in that format, yet, it just hasn’t happened.  So, because it’s nearly Poetry Friday [...]

I’ve been checking the weather all weekend. It simply cannot rain tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday. However, it looks like it might on Wednesday. It’s not supposed to rain on the High Holidays! I grew up in a pretty large synagogue in New Jersey. There were three services for Rosh Hashanah: two in [...]
