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.

Where did the summer go?

I hope you get in one more fun vacation before the school year starts. My grandma was so right, the older you get, it seems time flies by John and I celebrated 45 years of marriage by taking the Rocky Mountaineer train through the Canadian Rockies. I am in Banff high in the Mountain. Be sure to email me and tell me all about your summer. You know how much I enjoy hearing from you.

Remembering Danny

I would like to take a moment and remember my brother Danny. We lost him several years ago to diabetes. What a dreadful disease. I do not know about you but in my case I did not realize how many memories we shared until I started telling a story to my younger brothers and of course they were babies and they did not know what I was talking about. I could not call Danny and say, “Danny, tell them this story really happened.”

My daughter Katherine wrote a song and recorded it for him the night he went to heaven. Angel at Dawn. She referred to a tree, which was one Danny and I climbed when we were kids. I hope you enjoy the song. I would love to have your thoughts.

KINDNESS

The simplest acts of kindness can go a long way. We have six humming bird feeders. If the birds could speak I am sure they would say thank you.

READ REVIEW

Invited Author

I had the pleasure to reading to the 4-year-old at Michael’s Episcopal  Day School in Austin, Texas. I always enjoy being in a classroom. I enjoyed reading Harry the Camel to them and sharing where Harry the Camel lives. What it is like to be a camel and then read the story. We created a make believe sandstorm as we read the story. It was great fun, and the children learned it is not nice to teach and to love yourself just the way you are.

Gardening

Everyone find inspirations in their own way. I have several ways, but lately it has been pulling weeds and planting new flowers and bushes. When I was small, I would make mud pies in the backyard with my little white cat, Angel, watching me. I guess gardening takes the place of mud pies and my dog, Remi, takes the place of my sweet kitty. New ideas come up when you least expect them. It is not always about books, it can be family things, memories of watching my mom garden or my dad mowing the lawn with the push mower (the days before gas lawn mowers). I would love to hear the things you do for inspiration.

KINDNESS

The simplest acts of kindness can go a long way. Here is one of my many gladiolus flowers I grew to give to friends.

Now you might wonder why I have an elephant for my cover picture...

Well IMAGINATION. The picture is of my grandson’s 2-year-old birthday cake. He was into elephants that year. I thought the elephant cake needed a background, so I started painting the cake platter with icing. I let my imagination take over. He was so pleased. I am sharing this with you because I want to know what or whom you still dream of being or what you hope to achieve. I believe that if you can imagine it, it can happen. I always wanted to have fun with cakes and look at me know. I have made a fun birthday cake for all my kids when they were young and now they want me to continue for their families. So have fun and IMAGINE.

Thank you for writing and sharing some ways you have shared your kindness to others. I was wondering if I would hear from anyone and I was as pleased as punch to have you write to me. The Piece Quilting Group in Iowa is still hard at work making quilts for children in the hospital. Let’s continue to inspire others with kindness and write to me as you inspire me.
