Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

April 21, 2013 by tchistorygal

I enjoy the WordPress challenges. This one, UP, was particularly fun. Up is ubiquitous. As I looked up my photos, “up” took on one meaning after another. Some of my up connections may be stretching it a bit, but I’ve heard them all used – or used them myself. Yesterday I wanted to finish up showing my favorite quilt show pictures using different challenges, but then I wondered…. Are you fed up with quilts, or are you still upbeat about […]

Sunday Post: Unforgettable

February 19, 2013 by tchistorygal

Unforgettable means never to be forgotten, remarkable in a way that cannot be forgotten such as place, events or great memories. As much as I forget appointments, and names these are some experiences I won’t forget. I really thought parasailing was going to be much more thrilling frightening than it was. I waited until the two little girls that were on the boat with us went first. I figured if they could do it, I could. V did not want to […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful

November 24, 2012 by tchistorygal

This week’s photo challenge by WordPress, Thankful , conjures up pictures of food, family, friends, and material objects. Beyond our immediate circle of influence and interaction, our country, and the peace, liberty, and freedom it offers comprise some of the more esoteric gifts that make us thankful. Our lives are improved by people that serve us and do things that we can’t do for ourselves, so we are thankful for: business people, teachers, doctors, our service men and women, inventors, […]

Finding My Journal

September 9, 2012 by tchistorygal

Thank you all for visiting my site yesterday – I had 100 views! I don’t know about the rest of you bloggers, but that fact makes me forget that I have any other worthwhile work to do, and makes me want to think of what to write to y’all today. I do love that contraction. (I’m not a Southern Belle, but I just love using it in honor of PT, who reads my blog every day. Thanks PT.) Don’t you […]

Putting Your Field Trips on Steroids – Legally!

August 20, 2012 by tchistorygal

One of the best experiences of my teaching career was the Teacher Institute in Colonial Williamsburg. I wanted to bottle it up and bring it home, and recreate and refashion it so that we could produce similar experiences for people on the West Coast. Organizers packed the week with themes of experiences, most of them reproducible except for the location. Before we arrived we had to read a couple of books about Colonial Williamsburg, and the PEOPLE who lived […]

Happy 4th with Clementina Rind

July 4, 2012 by tchistorygal

I WAS Clementina Rind for a week at a Teachers’ Institute Colonial Williamsburg. She became my heroine. You will hear her story in subsequent posts, because it is an interesting and important story, But today, on this birthday of the United States of America, you will hear directly from her. As the the editor of the Virginia Gazette, on Thursday, March 17, 1774 I am not sure whether she wrote the article herself, of it came from someone else, but it […]
