Greetings from Atlanta, GA

Nice to meet all of you.

If you like books/reading/writing then we are on the way to a great friendship.

I taught elementary/middle school for a couple of decades. Mainly 4th-6th grade. I taught 'Everything' but enjoyed teaching Language Arts more than other subjects.

~~~
Born and Bred in this 'Briarpatch'/Atlanta, GA--half a century or so ago. It is my 'Home'. I have decided that the 'Newcomers' need to hear some stories about how Atlanta began and how it has grown.
So what I plan to do is read a little bit and write a little bit and go and tell my tales.

~~~
Not many Southerners to be found in Atlanta, GA these days but we always make room --Grow and Change. Population is now listed at 5,000,000 in metro Atlanta.

We have fresh blueberries in the backyard now, figs and tomatoes are ripening on the vine.

I hope to swap recipes with some of you.

Looking forward to a pleasant summer with the 'Book People'.

I chose this screen name because I lived in Savannah for a while--my father grew up there. Loved it--lots of creativity under the Spanish Moss.;)

Hi welcome

[WavingGirl]

Thanks for the welcome.

I have had such a week. All ended well but I hope this week has less 'Drama'.

I think I will just go to the library and check out 'The Lighthouse Stevensons'. I have been wanting to read that book for about 5 years.

One of my favorite authors, Robert Louis Stevenson.

A few quotes:

A friend is a gift you give yourself.
Robert Louis Stevenson

All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a mighty bloodless substitute for life.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson



Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.
Robert Louis Stevenson


For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
Robert Louis Stevenson

He who sows hurry reaps indigestion.
Robert Louis Stevenson

I am in the habit of looking not so much to the nature of a gift as to the spirit in which it is offered.
Robert Louis Stevenson

I never weary of great churches. It is my favourite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral.
Robert Louis Stevenson

I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.
Robert Louis Stevenson



If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him.
Robert Louis Stevenson

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say "give them up," for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
Robert Louis Stevenson



Have a good week.:idea:
