Interview with Miss Liz!

I always enjoy my “T.E.A. Time” with Miss Liz. What I love about her show is that she doesn’t rehearse it. Her style of interviewing is perfect for her listeners.as they get to know the spear and what makes them tick. Enjoy listening to the interview!

How I Came to Know Her

My parents purchased a new home, and it was the month of October that we moved to our new home and it also meant a new high school. It is never easy to be that new student for anyone, and I was experiencing it firsthand. My saving grace was choir and theater.

Rehearsals just started that week for the musical Oklahoma and I sang for Mrs. Angelo and she agreed to let me in the show even though tryouts were over.

That act of kindness made my life at the new school exciting and I felt like I belonged. The night I received my Thespian certificate was meant so much to me.

From that day forward I would jump hoops for Mrs. A. I was not the popular girl, or the one who would get parts as I had much to learn about acting but I would soak up every word she said.

She taught us more than just acting; she taught us about life’s difficulties and how to survive in life. I was in all 4 high school musicals and later community theater and professional theater.

I owe it all to Mrs. A. I had the opportunity several years ago to catch up with her and let her know just how much she meant to me.

When I heard she passed, I was in shock. There are some teachers you feel will live forever, so I wanted to pay tribute to her in my newsletter. She will always be a star in my book. I guess the angels needed her to begin rehearsals for a glorious Christmas celebration. Thank you, Mrs. Angelo, for all the kindness and gifts you shared in the world.

9th Grade - Mrs Angelo holds an award night to welcome the new Thespians to the club. I am receiving my Thespian Certificate.

Summertime

I like how some of my friends in the UK call Summertime the silly season; it makes me smile. I imagine people having time to go to the park, with kids swinging and spinning around on the merry-go-round. Summer is a time for friends and family to slow down and enjoy life. I hope that is your summer as well. Summer for me is working in the garden and watching the flowers grow, and the bees buzzing around collecting their nectar. I enjoy the birds at our various feeders tweeting and enjoying the bird's seeds. The squirrels appear and look for all the bird seeds that landed on the ground. All the beauty of Summertime leads to creative story ideas! Stay tuned!

Summertime

My husband and I loaded up the car, including our dog Remi and headed to the Midwest for a vacation. The newsletter highlights a picture of the farmland in IOWA.

I wanted to share a little insight into our summertime, and the seven states we took in was a beautiful drive. I was thankful to the hardworking farmers and ranchers for the working day and night heat and snow to provide the grower stores with food for us.

John and I also visited family and friends in various states. We also did some genealogy work, and it was inspiring to find one of my great-great-great grandpa's resting place on my dad's mom's side.

It turned out he was the first veterinarian and farmer in a small town in Kansas. He made it to the history books, which helped locate the family. Ancestry.com has helped me with my genealogy work for years.

The Piece Quilters

These amazing women quilt in the basement of a church, so they named their group "The Piece Quilters" since they were in the house of worship; quite clever. Plus, it fits with their mission; they raise funds for needy people. They also make quilts as a gift for each first responder in their community a quilt. If someone needs a warm blanket, they respond to those in need. It was a blessing to meet these women, and of course, I had to purchase some quilts. They are in Dow City, Iowa, if you want to buy a quilt from them.

The International Humanity Day

I was invited to participate in the International Humanity Day. It was the first I heard of it, and it pleased me to no end to meet online so many people working hard to share their God-given talents and love with the world. You can join them on Facebook and hear messages from lovely people worldwide.

Happy Birthday

I am blessed with three wonderful children, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish one of my grown children a happy birthday!
