Your approval means a lot to me. And yes, we had . . . FUN.<br /><br />We have certain set lines that we use over and over, the ones that always work -- that get the laugh, or inspire the thought, or express the feeling. One this trip, I started saying, toward the end, "Would it be okay if I told you a little story about my dog that had no educational value whatsoever? Just for fun?" And every time, they shouted, "Yes!"<br /><br />There's a lesson in that somewhere. Those kids, still teaching me what's going on.<br /><br />Thanks, Franki.James Prellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342728812342563278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-78100064280551481562012-02-29T07:50:43.277-05:002012-02-29T07:50:43.277-05:00I agree, Franki!

His visit was wonderful, and it was all about the writing.
