Hi!
Welcome to the Quilting Board! I'm fairly new here, too!. I'm from WV...about 3,000 miles away, but we're just neighbors on here! :)
A first grade teacher....that makes you someone special in my heart. My little girl is in Pre-K, and I think those first few years of school are the most important! I think all the years of school are important, but the very first few are special. I remember my first grade teacher was wonderful. She did lots of crafts and unique things with us. Those elementary years seem so special in my memory.
Ugh...I always run off at the "tips of my fingers" on here these days! I'm a SAHM (stay at home Mom) of 2 little ones, and I don't get out much...so, I am in need of attention from another adult BAD! LOL! My hubby is wonderful, but sometimes he works too much. That's what brings the bread to the table, though. He is wonderful.
Care to tell us some more about those redwoods???????
