Happy May Day!
A few days ago, I think the last day of the April heatwave, I broke down and went through a box of papers that represented two years of my college education. It needed to be done. And of course I saved some of my carefully typed (on a typewriter), mostly ‘A’ papers-some to reread and maybe toss. The pile went down considerably. I went to a great college from 1977-1979 called Delaware County Community College for an AAS in Early Childhood Education. I met some great friends, but mostly I learned and enjoyed my time there. Here are some of my papers:
What’s funny about the ‘Study of a Child’ paper is that the girl I did the study on contacted me a few years ago. I was trying to see if people I knew from the past would remember me, so I put her name and her sister’s name on my blog. No, she didn’t remember me! Drats. She is also on Facebook and I offered her this paper a few days ago and she hasn’t replied. She is married with several children.
My first schedule for college (I thought it was grades at first-wishful thinking):
I almost have my BS degree in ECE, but dropped out after giving up on a few courses I couldn’t seem to get in another school. I heard that the one class was finally dropped as I wasn’t the only one having problems.
I may post a few poems here if I am brave enough to do so.
I dedicate this post to my almost college graduate son Sean-he’s getting his 4 yr degree from Penn State on the 15th.

Excellent show n tell!!!!!!
My Show n Tell is about some Sailors I’ve brought home with me. Happy weekend wishes to you.
I keep way to much! I wouldn’t know where to find what I need though!
Good for you!
Isn’t it fun to dig though a box of things you have saved? It always brings back memories that you hadn’t thought of in ever so long.
Thank you for commenting on my Haig pinch bottle.
On the front is where the glass indents. I am not a drinker so I don’t know much about it. Someone told me once that it was the 50Th anniversary bottle for Haig’s Scotch.
Have a lovely weekend.
Congratulations to Sean. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years already!
Interesting show and tell…takes me back to my long years of schooling.
My show and tell is finally up:

Hello Dianne…
Ohhh…I wished that I still had some of my college papers! What a treasure and reminder of all the hard work that you did!!! I think I’d frame some of them!!!
Warmest wishes,

I love digging through old boxes and taking a trip down memory lane, too! Have a wonderful weekend!
