Dreams really fascinate me.....
Last night I had a dream about my kindergarten teacher and that Riley was in her class...but she hadn't aged...she looked exactly the same as she did in 1984. (She still teaches here in the county and have seen her out several times so it is interesting that in my dream she was frozen in time.)
Miss Hambrick was my all time favorite teacher. I was a painfully shy child and she really brought me out of my shell while I was in her class. Her appearance was as plain as the day was long....she had mousy brown hair, coke bottle glasses, slightly overweight frame, and favored a pair of horrendous brown overalls. She may have looked plain but she was an extraordinary person!!! My memories of her are so vivid...her sweet disposition, her patience, outgoing personality and her trusty guitar! We sang the day away every day...I still think of her when I hear "She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain".
I hope Riley and Samuel get a few really great teachers that they will still remember when they are 30. :-)
Wow, you were kindergarten the year before I was born ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a favorite all time teacher and I am sure she still lives in Cedartown, but I haven't seen her since my last day of 8th grade(she was my 7th grade teacher).
Yikes...I am O-L-D!!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI still remember my kindergarten teacher, too. Her name was Mrs. Johnson and she laughed like a hyena. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite teacher ever was a 6th-8th grade science teacher, and she is now the principal of an elementary school in Rome. She was awesome.
