Come Out From Wherever You Are

I was un-stacking some stacks early this morning and picked up a book that had been pushed to "the back burner" of my mind.

Years ago while we were still teaching, hubs and I participated in a creative writing course as part of our requirements for continuing education.

In the book are selected assignments that we had to complete. I turned to the page that listed hubs assignment which was an acrostic.

He had done one on my nickname....Jackie.

J - jokes all the time
A- a lot of fun to be with
C- cares for people very much
K- keeps her thoughts to herself
I- is in control of her actions
E- everyday she helps someone
*
He is a sweetheart! and, extremely creative! But he keeps his creativity hidden under the proverbial basket!
*
I think it's time for him to come out from under the basket!

Why wait for him to come out from under the basket? Just yank the darn thing off of him.

Tammie: you may have to come and help me get hubs out from under the basket! You know how stubborn he can be....

crabby: I don't share my backyard pedicures with ANYONE!!

paul: Tammie will help me yank the basket off him! I should write about him more often because he *really* is creative and he's *really* stubborn!!

It reflects very well on you that he could write these, especially the 'E'. :-) It reminds me that this is what a teacher is supposed to be. Yet it's so rare to find good teachers.
