• About Me


    Where do I start??? I grew up outside of Chicago, IL but now reside outside of Minneapolis, MN. I've been called many names in my life.... many of them derivitives of my given name. My son calls me Mommy. My husband calls me Honey. My students call me Teacher. My family calls me lots of things... However, here, you may call me Tendrils. I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy reading, blogging, and scrapping in my "free time" (what is that?!?!)

Happy May Day!

Posted on May 1, 2008 by tendrils

Happy May Day! I remember every May Day bringing my elementary teachers a bouquet of fresh spring flowers from Mom’s garden…….Lily of the Valley, Tulips, daffodils, and hyacinth flowers. Mom would wrap the base of the flowers in a wet paper towel, then wrap that in Aluminum foil, and I would hold them on the bus all the way to school. My teachers would then have them on their desk all day, and I would sit there proud as a peacock.

Man……how times have changed. I would keel over from a heart attack if any of my 8th graders brought me flowers!

    My neighbor when I was a young one had the best flower garden. She made up bouquets for all of us kids (maybe 8 of us) to give to teachers… and sometimes even Sunday School teachers! Great memories!
