I loved school, always did my work, my mom typed all of my essays for me, correcting spelling as she typed.The thing is, I had to have the work in to her 2 weeks before the paper was due, to ensure that she had time to type them. (She worked full time as a secretary: Rotary Club of Toronto).

My father thankfully was in Sydney when this happened, I don't think my feigned sudden illness would have convinced him!<br />Ah the joys of the 50's playing "Cowboys and Indians" as shown on the then movies!<br />Kids were kids in those days - no TV etc., just the picture show Sitcoms of today, like serials- not to be missed until the next show - the Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy's and the magical fellow with the mask and his trusted Indian, Tonto - the Lone Ranger? <br />It was fun, wasn't it? Too bad if you fell off your horse, you maybe broke an arm (very rare, just the ignominy of horse and you parting company) - and the excitement of having something written on the plaster!<br />I loved every moment of it.<br />Cheers<br />Colin<br />PS: Tried to rain this morning - middle of winter and for you almost tropical!

She made straight A's, was in the Beta Club. I barely got by. I day dreamed in class. In 9th grade I got the same literature teacher she had. I cheated and handed in a book report on Paradise Lost that my sister had read and written. The teacher immediately knew. She remembered my sister, the book worm...the smart one. I did learn a lesson.Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-79819472855750751712014-07-21T09:35:58.194-06:002014-07-21T09:35:58.194-06:00When I started out as an illustrator I had no publ...When I started out as an illustrator I had no published pieces to put into a portfolio. I ended up cutting pictures out of magazines and telling clients I did them. Of course I picked pieces I thought I could replicate. I never did get caught and I did finally replace those pictures in my portfolio with work of my own, but sometimes I feel bad about it.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-48950342727696911462014-07-21T08:33:56.493-06:002014-07-21T08:33:56.493-06:00As a fellow retired teacher, you're singing my...As a fellow retired teacher, you're singing my song.
