…thanks today RDP for today’s prompthttps://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2025/01/14/rdp-tuesday-when-i-grow-up/

When I was 12 years old I knew that I wanted to become a Family Studies (formerly known as Home Economics) teacher. I had been asked to attend an open house at the school and demonstrate what I had learned on the sewing machine. From that moment on I was hooked.

That’s not say that I didn’t have other options. There were moments when I thought I might study medicine but I always came back to teaching. For over 40 years I was a teacher. First as a Family Studies teacher and then a guidance counsellor in Middle school and then a grade 5 classroom teacher. At the end of my career I became the teacher librarian and art teacher for the entire school from JK to grade 5.

*In my last 5 years I taught art and library*

*Coaching soccer and basketball, teacher librarian, Hallowe’en parades, tea parties, book fairs, field trips and Fun Fairs*

My secret fantasy growing up was to become a famous rock or folk singer. Instead I sang with a choir for 27 years.

…trios from the pet store

As I explained in my previous posts I haven’t posted anything in over two weeks, due to renovations, family visits from London and illness. So this post is somewhat late but as I have said many times it is not imperative that Thursday Trios have to be posted on Thursday. A couple of days ago I stopped into the pet store to just look around. I quickly realized that I was missing owning a pet but I don’t think we’re quite there yet to take on the responsibility of taking on any kind of pet for awhile yet. We’re hoping to travel some more this spring and pets just complicate the process.

If you have any trios to share just copy my link and paste it into your post. Now that I’m back to blogging I’ll be sure to check out your post and leave a comment.
