Grandpa seemed startled when we arrived! Originally uploaded by teachergal I love surprising people, especially family members. Hence, when I looked through my Grandma’s photo album this morning (I’m in the midst of preserving family photos since her albums are not exactly a scrapbookers’ dream at-present.) I discovered photos from the time my parents and… Continue reading M.M. Inspiration/Charge

Ruth’s Memoir Monday: A Place
When we first started Two Writing Teachers, we kept it private for a bit. We wrote and analyzed, wrote and discussed, wrote and tweaked and wrote some more. Then we launched it.

Therefore, this Monday, I'm going to reflect on how my attitude and feelings towards Newport have changed in just a few short years. Make a Smilebox postcard If you… Continue reading Memoir Monday Idea: A Special Place (Then & Now)
