SBG, Yeah, that's where I used the flannel board too. I taught the 4 & 5-year-olds Sunday School class at church for 10 years. There's nothing like the little ones that still have their baby teeth. :-) The kids are different when the big teeth come...

Fun chat to hear regarding the older women and their energy! QNS with her bucket list will never be alone in that respect. My list is surprisingly long too. Lots of us move slower when we are older, but the creative dreams seem to just continue to move along at the younger pace. :-)

Good saying, QNS!

I agree about the bucket lists... I have so many ideas, I feel like I will never catch up to them all. Accomplish a few, and you think of at least as many more to tack onto the bucket list. But it keeps us motivated and moving!

Givio, I taught 3rd grade Sunday School for a number of years. The kids were still sweet and respectful of authority. I think 3rd grade is where I draw the line, though!

SBG, all ages are very special. I worked with junior high kids for 37 years was was never bored. Loved them all!

Going to take a nap now I was up at 5 this morning . way to early for me...see ya later..

Glad all went well for the hubby, Anne, and that your trip can happen as planned.

QNS, thanks so much for sharing your shopping treasures with us. What FUN that must have been. I'm still unpacking the goodies I bought in Paducah!

I love those pink fabrics with the roses....

Oh, that was fun to read and look at! Thanks QNS for sharing! I never went on a 'shop hop' but it sounds like it would so enjoyable. I think I'd be so tired at the end.
