We have a winner of my bi-lingual book Pig on Trial/Cerdito a juicio. Congratulations Tess from How the Cookie Crumbles Tess is a great supporter of other authors and does some amazing writing herself. You should see what she can do with only 100 words! Check out her blog site, you will not be disappointed. Tess, your book will be in the mail soon.
I have been nominated for a 5 day challenge by a blogging friend, Judith from I choose how I will spend the rest of my life. Check out Judith´s blog to learn about her interesting life down under where she is growing younger each day. Thank´s Judith for the nomination
The Five Day Challenge is: Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge.
Here is my first photo.
My best year in school was grade three. That was the year I had Miss Roll as my teacher. She was wonderful and made a huge difference in my life. She made learning fun. I wrote about her before here: https://darlenefoster.wordpress.com/2011/09/27/a-special-teacher/
At the end of the year she took a picture of the class. Behind us is the mural we painted as a group on a huge piece of brown paper. One lucky classmate got to hold the class pet, a budgie named Chico, in his cage . (Chico is Spanish for boy; we learned about Mexico that year.) As young women, we were taught to stand tall with ankles together and hands clasped in front of us for pictures. I took picture taking seriously and did what I was told.
If you are wondering which one I am, take note of the pedal pushers and matching sweater. I still dress like that. Some things never change!
I would like to nominate Marian from Plain and Fancy You will love her blog. Among other things, she shares awesome pictures and stories of growing up in a Mennonite family from Pennsylvania.
Have fun with this Marian!

Thank you very much. I might not be able to do it five days in a row but perhaps I could bend the rules a tad.

I´m sure you can bend the rules a bit.
