Stuff on the moving truck, 2004 This was written in 2003 before a furlough... I have an old barrel in the shed behind my house. It was packed in the summer of 1992 or maybe 1993, I can’t remember which. I had resigned from my teaching position at a Christian school. I taught fourth grade and loved it. The barrel is filled with all the books from my personal lending library. My fourth graders could check out a book from our classroom library and return it within a reasonable amount of time. I bought most of the books from those Scholastic papers and received many from bonus points. Some I bought from clearance tables at my favorite book shops. Some I had from when I was an avid fourth grade reader. A friend’s daughter helped me write the name of each book in a notebook, so each one could be carefully accounted. I made detailed lists of what went into all the barrels I prepared to be shipped to Brazil. Little did I know that...
Just a mama trying to bloom where she is planted in the dry Northeast of Brazil.
