Toads AND OLD PEOPLE

1960s...."Dad...why did that old man call my sister a toad head??"...huh because she has fine blond hair...well I never want to be a toadhead

1970s... first trip to the cold Humboldt current with grandmother and her sister... she says...be careful.. their is a undertoad in the waves..... what???... there is a toad in the ocean ???

1971 our debate coach is excited that we are at her almatar and she points out her old dorm... Toad Hall... though the sign says Todd hall...it was our abandoned building for speaking rounds...a real wart of a building

1973 George Lucas introduced his Modesto life thru four male characters... one named toad.. I wonder how often George Lucas was bullied???

And thank you for your patience... this old man found this morning.. squeaking under the nose of the dog

Well, my DH and I are both seniors, so I guess I am grateful for us! We’ve been together for over 40 years and I am grateful to have someone to go through so many ages and stages of life with. (sorry to end with a preposition)

My uncle inspired me to take better photos and to think about what I was photographing, not just the usual posed shots. (And I am lucky to have several of his photos of my childhood which were given to me after he passed)

All the older, experienced teachers who helped me both when I first started teaching in my 20’s and when I returned to the vocation many years later.
