Autumn School Days
Welcome to Tuesday 4 which we keep up in memory of Toni Taddeo.
School days help to shape our future personality.
Share a story of your school days that you think may have helped
shape who you are today.I absolutely loved my fourth grade teacher and how
she taught Virginia History. She established a love of history in me, so I
decided then and there to become a fourth grade history teacher when I
grew up and I did!
Did you have a favorite teacher and what made them special to you?
My absolute favorite teacher was Miss Karnes in 8th grade. She was
an English teacher who made each lesson come alive! For example,
as we began studying the newspaper, and what was involved in reporting,
she set up a scene, unbeknowst to the class, where a couple of boys broke
out in a fight, (a wrestle ) before class. When Miss Karnes entered instead
of being upset with the boys, she was upset with the class for not actively
taking notes regarding the event and preparing our report for the news
on it!
Did you enjoy the rituals of school.. new clothing, pencils, notebooks,
etc.? I always looked forward to the beginning of school. Of course the back to
school shopping was great, and momma had made me at least a couple of
new dresses for school. I was always so glad to get together with ,my friends again...
I didnt get to see them too much over the summer.
Did you walk to school or ride the bus? Do you have a story to share
on that? I walked to elementary school (8 blocks). For Junior High I was
bussed to a school a few miles away. My bus stop was the last one on the
line for our bus and I never had a seat, which was pretty rough holding
on to all those books, plus, our driver loved to take those curves at a speed..
He thought he was cool... I dreaded those curves every day!!!He was very
popular with the seated kids! For High School, dad drove me! Yay!

1. Boo, boo-hoo, make a boo-boo, boo(ze)...pick one and tell us how it relates to life lately. I suppose it would be boo, hoo- hoo! With only 4 days to go, I do not want our beach trip to end.
2. Do you like the color orange? Would we find this color in your home? Your wardrobe? Peach-pumpkin-tangeringe...your favorite shade of the three listed? I love orange in the fall, and yes, it is in my home this month and next, but it doesn’t typically go with my decor regularly! I am a peachy kind of gal with my wardrobe. My college roommate nicknamed me “Peaches”.
3. October 28th is National Chocolate Day. What's the last chocolate something you tasted? On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being out of this world delicious, how would you rate it?
Last night we couples went out for a chocolate swirl ice cream cone! Yum 10!
4. Life is like a box of chocolates or so says Forrest Gump's mama. Would you agree? Aside from the pandemic fallout tell us one way this saying has played out in your life.
Anytime our small family gets together it is better than a box of chocolates!
5. As October winds down tell us three things you loved about the month we're bidding adieu.
Planning our beach trip, going on our beach trip, and, enjoying it with our best friends!
6. Insert your own random thought hereNo time ..the paint brush calls me! Bye!

Top o the morning! I arose early to watch daylight climb over the horizon. It is a glorious feeling!
♥♥On my mind♥♥
So much to do and so little time! Slow down, clock!
I am trying to do 3 things at a time to make the most of our stay.. bah! I just really want to relax, enjoy, and marvel!
♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥
Cup of coffee and fruited yogurt. Thank you, de

Wonderful book, so well written.. almost poetic!
Exemplifying Christ is what we are called to do, and since He only did what he saw the Father doing, we can see God's communicable attributes played out on earth among people! It is incumbent on us to know Jesus Christ through the scriptures. It may take our lifetime to get it right, but that is our calling!
♥♥On my tv♥♥
Nothing
♥♥On the menu this week♥♥
Last night we dined with friends at Boardwalk Billy’s.
We enjoyed outdoor dining to the sounds of music reminisce of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I don’t know what was better, the atmosphere or the flounder!
♥♥From the camera♥♥
Yesterday for lunch Hubs and I had a delightful lunch at Heidi’s Corner, Hook and Barrel. This kale salad will feed us both today as well!
♥♥Looking around the condo♥♥
Yesterday we were graced by the visit of my dear cousin, Cindy whom I hadn’t seen in 15 years except for a chance sighting at a wedding a few years ago!
♥♥New recipe I tried last week, or one that we really enjoyed♥

Do not have one today~
♥♥Something I want to share♥♥
Four more days of pure heaven!
♥♥On my prayer list♥♥
Our president and Melanie , for their recovery and recovery , regained strength wisdom, courage, clarity , and a definitive win come Election Day
For our government (William Barr) for justice to be applied to the corruption that has plagued our country for some time. Protect him as the indictments become known.
For this coronavirus to stop in its tracks and not spread any more... Lord, protect the elderly and those in compromised health situations. Protect the health providers and the families where the virus is bringing suffering. I pray that this week we will begin to see a great decline in the number of deaths and the numbers o f healed will increase in Jesus name!.
I pray for inner healing in our nation regarding the ongoing problem with racism and it effects in our society. May the rioting stop in the name of Jesus.. I pray that the Antifa group would dry up and disband in Jesus name. I have come to understand that the protesters, are really only wanting to disrupt and destroy our nation.. I speak to the evil one behind this and say, "Stop! in the name of Jesus! You have no dominion here. get out! "
I pray for exponential wisdom and truth to fall upon our media outlets. They seem to exist to keep turmoil riled up instead of bringing clarity to the situation. I pray they seek things of good repute to report on instead of always the bad..I pray they realize that pouring gasoline on a fire is more damaging than letting it go out of its own accord. All of this is for political reasons and yet people's lives have been ruined for that? I pray for people of every nation, color and creed to learn to live amicably together, that love would heal the divisions in our country. I pray the schemes of the devil that instill more and more unrest to stop in the name of Jesus. I pray that the demolishing of our national treasures will stop in Jesus name.. You can not change history through this distruction!
Oh, Lord, evil runs rampant in our nation.. the worst kind..straight from the pit! Oh Father, may your Spirit speak to your Children to pray more, pray specifically! We have government saying child moleststion is ok, we have men and women in high placing practicing it!We have evil men and women roaming our streets looking for unsuspecting people to attack, maim. even kill. Then they have so little respect for life they taunt for their death.. We have abortion running rampant .The respect for life and for your young people , our children, has evaporated all to appease the vile desires of the flesh. Our schools teach obscenities and lies trying to turn the minds of our young people. Oh father, we need You! We see a small outpouring of revival sparking.... may it ignite all over this nation and bring everyone to their knees! In Jesus Name!!!!
The lost in these divers places , that they will realize their need for a Savior and turn to God through Jesus!
For God's mercy to hover over the earth and give people rest and the forbearance to continue to persevere in their trials and testings!
Devotional;
Not my painting.. but I’ll put on up soon!
