The stories of the past...

This conference is far exceeding my expectations.  Today every session I went to showed how to connect peoples lives with the history that was around them.  It made me want to read history books. I thought I was going to jump into an advanced math course, but maybe not......

One presenter took the facts that she discovered about her civil war grandfathers and the research she learned about their civil war units and weaved a story about their lives at that time.  It was beautiful.  Of all things, I started thinking of how I could take that research and teach a personal narrative story lesson! EEK! Oh well, I have come to my senses now and that has passed. Instead I have the beginnings of a story of my own. I have always had a dream to write a book. Maybe, just maybe this will lead to the book that is inside me. Time will tell.

I didn't really step back in time to Ellis Island! That will be for another trip!



Until later..........God Bless
