A Teacher's Reflections 
Terrific, Jennie.
Thank you, John.
You are welcome, Jennie. 😊
My favorite, and often repeated, quotation on stories from a very wise lady : “Stories are the keepers of words and memories.” – Jennie Fitzkee. Thank-YOU!
Yes, I said that. 😊 Thank you, Ellen!
That is so very true!
Yup!
I think we are basically story tellers. All of our earlier lives make great stories, especially the ones my grandchildren call “sordid.” Not to worry! They just think any family drama is sordid.
You are absolutely right! Grandchildren are the best for putting things into perspective. I just love that. I tell my childhood stories to my preschoolers, Jennie Stories. If I didn’t tell one at lunchtime, there would be mutiny. 🙂
And for them they were a “very long time ago.”
Yes! 😀
Stories can often share history and the times people lived in ways a pure history books might not.
Yes, very much so. The oral stories were the foundation for written stories. In many ways, they are far better.
So very true!
🙂
Isn’t that lovely?! Thanks for sharing, Jennie.
Yes, it is. Charles has outstanding quotations.
Absolutely!
🥰
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Thank you, Michael! Charles has wonderful questions.
Agreed! 😉
😀
Charles always discovers great quotes. Good reblog, Jennie.
Best wishes, Pete.
He does, Pete!
