I certainly will be praying for that 3rd class, but I'm sure they'll get there in your gifted hands - or should I say "words"?!<br />(PS. And I'm sure you'd correct that last sentence of mine!)Janet a.k.a. swanlady21https://www.blogger.com/profile/11967516564810839917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-84883525882291454812018-10-27T14:16:16.118-04:002018-10-27T14:16:16.118-04:00Tanis, maybe I can offer some input about the Love...Tanis, maybe I can offer some input about the Lovely as a Tree set. I was a SU demo for four years. It's my opinion that SU will keep the big sellers in the annual catalog as long as they generate the expected income. Have you seen Rooted in Nature? It's really lovely.Marcia Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753444120349645706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-69526141459625615992018-10-27T14:06:03.630-04:002018-10-27T14:06:03.630-04:00So happy to see your post in my email again!

I, too, am struggling with the comma splice, except with a new gentleman friend I don't want to offend. When we no longer communicate exclusively via email I won't notice them as much. Keep at it, Susan; we need more people promoting those essential writing skills that social media (and lack of teaching) have eroded or destroyed. Next, cursive writing.Marcia Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753444120349645706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-74299816691666716972018-10-27T12:04:20.830-04:002018-10-27T12:04:20.830-04:00I thoroughly enjoy your discussions on grammar (co...I thoroughly enjoy your discussions on grammar (comma splices..new term for me) as I feel our schools are virtually ignoring this component of our language. Most kids simply don't know, don't care and obviously, don't speak correct English. I bite my tongue way too often when I hear "me and my friends, etc." Gads. Anyway, thanks for chatting about your classes...very fascinating!

Every year, my stampy friends and I pounce on that retiring list, dying to see if it will appear there. Nope! Such a mystery why everything else retires after a few years, but that particular set lives on for 15 years or more. I mean, it's lovely and all, but how about some new tree sets?<br />I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new job, and that it is going so well. That is fantastic news, and I am grinning as a sit and sip the pumpkin spice latte my husband whipped up. I do not mind your new blogging schedule either. It will be easier for me to keep up with you now.<br />I am curious about your husband's new hobby. Will have to scroll through some previous posts and see what I have missed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835448913758132227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-1305546749345497812018-10-27T10:56:54.133-04:002018-10-27T10:56:54.133-04:00So happy to see your post.

And unfortunately my boys had a horrible high school English and writing education. I am convinced that their reading skills are what enables them to write at all as their education continues. <br />Thankfully your students have you in their corner!Starlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075522354027547485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-17605386210917246832018-10-27T08:32:40.906-04:002018-10-27T08:32:40.906-04:00Wow, Susan!
