O...We are BIG time story tellers in our house, too. One of my favorite remnants of this is when we happened upon a youngish, 20something girl with a bright pink mini dress... long dark hair, brown eyes, a shy smile... Emma (then eight years old) took one look and said, "Look, Mom, its Miss Foley!" (My first grade teacher at Linden Avenue School!)<br /><br />Recently Emma, now thirteen, attended a poetry performance of mine. Many of my poems are story-telling in content and style. She told me I had her in tears... a surprise from my thirteen-year-old... I know it enriches in ways I can't even say or know, but I do imagine the stories living further in the lives of MY grandchildren.Julie Jordan Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558015761690505791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-28791904357414985702010-11-27T13:26:42.323-06:002010-11-27T13:26:42.323-06:00Children are a natural to receive and tell stories...Children are a natural to receive and tell stories. Isn't it a lovely tradition? My own son often asks me to repeat a handful of stories, sometimes I try to tell them exactly one way, other times I try to draw them out longer by adding an extra detail here and there. Occasionally I speed-tell them and I always feel awful during and after. Thank you for your kind words on my blog, they gave me a lift when I needed them most. As for the Drawing Lab book, I am thoroughly enjoying it, although I have always considered myself more of a drawer than a painter. It is full of neat ways to step out of the box to create and even though I don't love all of my results, I am loving the process I go through doing the exercises. Have a great rest of the weekend!The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287125977780580043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-10132755435149905562010-11-27T06:53:25.686-06:002010-11-27T06:53:25.686-06:00i love this -- all children just LOVE hearing abou...i love this -- all children just LOVE hearing about their younger selves, don't they? and to have a journal of memories would be such a treasure when they're grown -- for everyone.<br /><br />this reminds me, i used to do a thing on my blog called Touchstone Tuesday...where i would try to capture a moment that reminded me of the joy in the everyday...the power of the simple stuff. i really should get back to doing that....because that's where the emotion-memories are...<br /><br />xomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336474101204142611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-67062645719250462322010-11-26T23:03:26.961-06:002010-11-26T23:03:26.961-06:00Your beautiful story brings back a memory that is ...Your beautiful story brings back a memory that is very important to our family. It was that very same Japanese restaurant in the White Swan where Ava tried and devoured cherry ice cream. By my critical standards, we could barely call the gritty frozen stuff ice cream, but it was one of the only foods Ava was REALLY interested in and has been ever since. I'm not sure who recommended the restaurant- it could have been you- but it's fun that we both have vivid memories from the place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
