You should order it sometime: it's called Grandma's Sampler.

I think that good teachers really do make the difference in all of our lives, and you can always tell the ones that teach because they love it and want to make a difference, and those that just show up. Thanks for all you do!tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-82298428565543032722010-03-24T10:20:16.561-06:002010-03-24T10:20:16.561-06:00What a great story, and what a great lady. I love ...What a great story, and what a great lady. I love that you took the initiative and thanked her for her part in education--that had to have been so encouraging. <br /><br />VA, and now Bedford County (the 4th lowest-paying county in the state, btw) is making huge education cuts right now...BC is actually closing down several schools, not to mention the 70+ teachers that will be laid off.

It made our day having it happen.<br /><br />Linn - It makes me want to run out and be nice to people just because.<br /><br />Rachel - I'm with you; I feel that if I can't thank them, they won't know just how much I appreciated it.<br /><br />As for the 'other hero' I don't know as if I'd go as far as to say that.

I love the fact that you went to her first to thank her for what she had done prior for teachers. So many times, as an educator, we forget to thank those who do fight for us. I needed to hear this story so much today. My state has made a major cut in education, hurting those who will be our future. I've lost focus that there are still those out there who aren't teachers who will fight for us and our students.mamahasspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049292242708654609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-84154377926744837932010-03-23T10:57:36.834-06:002010-03-23T10:57:36.834-06:00Another thought: Yes, the lady in the red trench ...Another thought: Yes, the lady in the red trench coat did an incredible thing but there is also a player here that did an incredible thing. You could have sat at your table and thought, "Cool!" and continued talking to your friends. But you didn't. You got up...and you went over and thanked the lady in the red trench coat for her time and service.....so really......there's two heros in this story!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904348716444211746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-87964061273125595152010-03-23T10:55:07.074-06:002010-03-23T10:55:07.074-06:00You know!

The other day I was in a dive of a restaurant (the best kind) and lo and behold two young men in dark suits, white shirts, and ties, with badges on their pockets came to pay for their lunch and the cashier said, "No charge. Someone paid for your lunch!" And now this story. <br /><br />Gosh I just love it when people do stuff like this! Makes those who are working in the trenches day in and day out feel like they can face another day because someone believes in them and supports them!<br /><br />I love stories like this. People quietly going about their business doing good for others....not needing the lime light....remaining anonymous. <br /><br />When I've been the receiver of gifts like this I'm terrible though. I wanna know who did it so I can thank them. I feel like if I can't thank them then they won't know how grateful I am....it's a tough one for me. I love to be the anonymous giver but when someone gives to me...I don't want them to be anonymous.....<br /><br />I have issues.........Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904348716444211746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-85129009287198989642010-03-23T10:21:09.423-06:002010-03-23T10:21:09.423-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Linnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813312996970089854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-34410420014555030722010-03-23T10:20:00.540-06:002010-03-23T10:20:00.540-06:00Ah!
