A couple of weeks ago, my next door neighbor at school put out a call for a poster about reading.
There was to be a state inspection and a visual aid encouraging reading was on the checklist. When I saw her in the hall, I offered a collage of photographs of students reading their favorite books. She was thrilled and one of her students created a large poster with the photos and added some text about the benefits of reading.
It looked good and she told me it was well received by the inspection team. My colleague was pleased. And grateful. I wish I had a photo of the finished poster to include in this post but it is at school.
As a thank you, she brought me this unexpected gift.
She said when she saw them at the store, they reminded her of me. I looked in the mirror and I see the resemblance!
When I saw the smiling face socks, I thought of fellow blogger Stef and her Smile, Kiddo blog. Always on the lookout for smiles.
Here’s a link to a cool post titled What I Like About Me.
Right now the high school students are working on creating images for a positive image campaign so it’s a great post for that theme.
p.s. You can see Twilight, Gregory Crewdson’s book of photographs. If you haven’t seen his movie Brief Encounters about how he makes his photographs, check out the trailer and the film.
Sweet, Ruth!
Love the socks. What a compliment. 🙂 Well done with the collage, Ruth.
very cool socks and they are a good match for the “you” I feel through the ol’ blog too. 🙂
Oh, Ruth. These socks were made with you in mind. What a great gift!
I think she ‘s right……they do look like you!
I see the resemblance.
I have to agree!
😀
You will have to show me how to leave you a happier smile than the one I just left on your post about Ralph with your smiling photo!!
Oh – you are too cute.

Thanks for finding and sharing daily delights and smiles in unexpected places. Hope some friends find your blog and enjoy reading it as much as I do. Thanks for all the nice comments and likes, Stef. Clearly there is lots to like about YOU!
What a sweetheart you are. The feelings are completely mutual, lady. 🙂
