   I love that. I was going to be a teacher once… got my degree and then changed my entire path. When I did my student teaching quarter, my project for the two week solo portion was a creative writing exercise. Those country teachers scoffed at the idea – after all, these kids were only first graders. Boy, did those kids surprise them! I loved it, honestly, but ultimately I knew it wasn’t for me as a career, and at that moment in time, the population explosion had not yet begun in the county where I lived that now has the largest school system in the state. No teaching jobs available for newbies. Go figure! Anyway, I will always treasure those memories.

   Journaling is such good mental exercise anyway! I love notebooks and pens, and I am a fan of journaling. It started when I was a child and I read Harriet the Spy. The idea of writing down observations just clicked with me and I’ve been a journaler ever since. That’s just about 50 years now…

   Oh wow, I do this all the time myself! I watch movies by streaming on my desktop computer and have a bad habit of pausing to Google for filming locations or actors to see what else they were in WHILE I’m still watching the movie. It’s bad if I go down a rabbit hole and lose track of the gist of the movie!

   It would have been originally from the mid-70s to 80s. Mr. Kliban has been dead since 1990, so all of these are pretty old now.

   When I get a new phone, one of the first things I do is turn off the autocorrect feature. I don’t need my phone trying to guess what I was trying to say when I know what I’m trying to say.

   That’s why some people hate retirement! They have no idea what to do with themselves without someone telling them what to do all day.

    We always said “belly hitcher.” No idea what that was supposed to mean, but that’s the way I remember it.
