Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!


In honor of Teacher appreciation week, I would like to write about a teacher who was intuitive enough to realize that a fourteen year class clown had more to offer than a talent for disturbing the classroom.

Mrs. Wilkins taught English and Social Studies and I was in both of her classes. By the time I entered Junior High I had read most of the books on my mother’s bookcase, which in most cases didn’t match the School Board’s Curriculum. 

As a result, I was constantly raising my hand in regards to the American Indians, etc.  It wasn’t that I was smarter than anyone else, it was just the seventies when most people had one television set, so I spent most of my time listening to music, reading, and writing.

Tuesday's Question!

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Question! I began posting a question every Tuesday when I started A Nice Place In The Sun, which believe it or not was in 2007.

I thought it would be a great way to get to know my readers and it worked, but now there is a whole new blogging community that I would like to get to know.

All you have to do is answer the question and feel free to ask one yourself.


Okay, this weeks question is:

4/30/18

Awww..Mondays And Sparks!

 "Join us every Monday for Awww…Mondays. Post a picture that makes you say Awww…and that’s it.
Make sure you leave a link to your post here and I’ll visit your Awww…Mondays post. What better why to start the week than with a smile." 

Words by Sandee Clark of Comedy Plus! Visit Comedy Plus for the code. 


In addition to Awww Monday's Annie, of McGuffy's Reader is hosting an inspirational quote every Monday. Which I think is great and fun to think of something positive to begin each week.  Thank you Annie and Sandee for helping us begin each week with good thoughts which turn into joyful hearts. 


 Here is my contribution to Sparks written by F. Scott Fitzgerald; 

 In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'


Thank you for visiting A Nice Place In The Sun! Have a happy Monday!

Motherhood- Courage


Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons

Words-

Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase

I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover

Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light

She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free

For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well

Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination


Written for Ann
