How many places have you been outside Childress, Texas? Some of you have traveled a lot; others probably have not been more than 100 miles from Childress. Either way, I am sure there are places that you would like to visit.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCoZdvhQEtRNPNWdv39IYIOIt62Mz0LkWOQ04St5RVGooUVrsTvIsCkk_diE8QkLemd9_rgYg2vhoxYfP0772z3XtI3u3poPfqfoC0_P4f3R51_1XDyQXW1z5ZFnPlgZqTOMQeZVdEIw/s1600-h/sign"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCoZdvhQEtRNPNWdv39IYIOIt62Mz0LkWOQ04St5RVGooUVrsTvIsCkk_diE8QkLemd9_rgYg2vhoxYfP0772z3XtI3u3poPfqfoC0_P4f3R51_1XDyQXW1z5ZFnPlgZqTOMQeZVdEIw/s400/sign" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335007958712445714" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">For this post, you are going to put together a road trip. Money is NOT an issue. The only rule is that the places you go have to be accessible by car (no planes or ships). That doesn’t mean you cannot go outside the US, just that you are able to get there by driving (i.e., Mexico, Canada).</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkEq7o0T9IWUo3sv4V4K_GLcM5LpcnJEh08zrVu6dgLK2EQW5UmnfXjfzxEpd20hd3V8cOZUNElVt2MKM5H5BQf5wD5Yy9SezTpfj8WZXHn5sJmLIQ0rmO3NxCTJuNfa8cz8tKyJLRWlk/s1600-h/MM+Road+Trip+W0611425.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 390px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkEq7o0T9IWUo3sv4V4K_GLcM5LpcnJEh08zrVu6dgLK2EQW5UmnfXjfzxEpd20hd3V8cOZUNElVt2MKM5H5BQf5wD5Yy9SezTpfj8WZXHn5sJmLIQ0rmO3NxCTJuNfa8cz8tKyJLRWlk/s400/MM+Road+Trip+W0611425.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334980694019202850" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">Find five cities, landmarks, amusement parks, ballparks, museums, colleges, etc. that you would like to visit. Take your time…surf the web and do some real searching—don’t just pick the first five places that pop into your head. Then use <a href="http://www.mapquest.com/">mapquest </a>to help you plan your trip (you may use another website if you know of one that is better). If you use mapquest, use the "Directions" box on the main page of the site to find the distances between places and then use that info to find the total distance of your trip. If you use another website the information boxes may be different, but you still need to find distances between places and then a total distance from start to finish. NOTICE: your stop and start place will be Childress--but you do not come home between destinations...hence, ROAD TRIP!!</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWbZqhpiY2Yf-FgduEv0Mz5BVMTfhX_r8V8Q4QC4a5TEWB1DVsPu7e5C2Tk0vjHYMpqAgKk7T2NLO8ydsnGNF99vaWXewgogg4TEGqn__w4bvu0ywIujx9YZgHQxFMLynrM5wRlmbwRTw/s1600-h/0707b_roadtripmaze.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWbZqhpiY2Yf-FgduEv0Mz5BVMTfhX_r8V8Q4QC4a5TEWB1DVsPu7e5C2Tk0vjHYMpqAgKk7T2NLO8ydsnGNF99vaWXewgogg4TEGqn__w4bvu0ywIujx9YZgHQxFMLynrM5wRlmbwRTw/s400/0707b_roadtripmaze.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334980689074051986" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">For each of your Road Trip destinations, you need to include pictures (limit 3 per destination) and some information on places of interest you would visit—don’t copy and paste an entire website of information.

I want the four words to be <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">a different color</span> than the rest of your story, so that I can find them easily!

Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of her 5th grade<br /> class on the very first day of school, she told<br /> the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her<br /> students and said that she loved them all the same. But that<br /> was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy.<br /> </span><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"> <img src="http://llerrah.com/teache1.gif" border="0" height="181" width="149" /></span></span></p> <p align="center"> <span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" >Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed<br /> that he didn't play well with the other children, that his<br /> clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.<br /> And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where<br /> Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his<br /> papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting<br /> a big "F" at the top of his papers.<br /><br /> At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught,<br /> she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file,<br /> she was in for a surprise.<br /><br /> Teddy's first grade teacher wrote,<br /> "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.<br /> He does his work neatly and has good<br /> manners...he is a joy to be around."<br /> <img src="http://llerrah.com/teache2.gif" border="0" height="154" width="147" /><br /> His second grade teacher wrote,<br /> "Teddy is an excellent student,<br /> well-liked by his classmates, but he is troubled<br /> because his mother has a terminal illness and life<br /> at home must be a struggle."<br /><br /><br /> His third grade teacher wrote,<br /> "His mother's death has been hard on him.<br /> He tries to do his best but his father doesn't<br /> show much interest and his home life will soon affect<br /> him if some steps aren't taken."<br /><br /><br /> Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote,<br /> "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.<br /> He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."<br /><br /><br /> By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was<br /> ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students<br /> brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag.<br /> </span></p><p align="center"><span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" >Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle<br /> of the other presents. Some of the children started to<br /> laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the<br /> stones missing and a bottle that was one quarter full of perfume.<br /> </span></p><p align="center"><span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" >She stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed<br /> how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some<br /> of the perfume on her wrist.<br /> </span></p><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center"><span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" > Teddy stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to."<br /> </span></p><p align="center"><span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" >After the children left she cried for at least an hour.<br /><br /><br /> On that very day, she quit teaching reading, and writing, and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children.<br /><br /> <img src="http://llerrah.com/teache3.gif" border="0" height="147" width="237" /></span></p> <p align="center"> <span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" >Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.<br /> As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive.<br /> The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded.<br /> By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest<br /> children in the the class and, despite her lie that she would love<br /> all the children the same, Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets."<br /><br /><br /> A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy,<br /> telling her that she was still the best teacher he<br /> ever had in his whole life.</span></p> <p align="center"> <span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" > <br /><br /> Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy.<br /> He then wrote that he had finished high school,<br /> second in his class, and she was still the best teacher<br /> he ever had in his whole life.<br /><br /><br /> Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while<br /> things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school,<br /> had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college<br /> with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was<br /> still the best and favorite teacher he ever had in his whole life. </span></p> <p align="center"> <span style="color: rgb(83, 0, 83);font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;" ><br /> <img src="http://llerrah.com/teache4.gif" border="0" height="67" width="114" /><br /><br /> Then four more years passed and yet another letter came.<br /> This time he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree,<br /> he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that she<br /> was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now<br /> his name was a little longer. The letter was signed,<br /> Theodore F. Stollard, M.D.<br /><br /><br /> The story doesn't end there.<br /> You see, there was yet another letter that spring.<br /> Teddy said he'd met this girl and was going to be married.<br /> He explained that his father had died a couple<br /> of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might<br /> agree to sit in the place at the wedding that was usually<br /> reserved for the mother of the groom.<br /><br /><br /> Of course, Mrs. Thompson, did. And guess what?<br /> She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing.<br /> And she made sure she was wearing the perfume<br /> that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last<br /> Christmas together.<br /><br /><br /> They hugged each other,<br /> and Teddy whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear,<br /> "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me.<br /> Thank you so much for making me feel important<br /> and showing me that I could make<br /> a difference."<br /> <img src="http://llerrah.com/teache5.gif" border="0" height="257" width="195" /><br /> Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back.<br /> She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong.<br /> You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.<br /> I didn't know how to teach until I met you."</span></p><p align="center"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Wow!!

The only way I have found to get it to your blog is to do an 'apple+shift+4' and highlight the comic strip itself (after you have finished it and chosen the 'print/email icon).

One day you are living a normal life and the next, you or a loved one has been arrested for witchcraft! Your life would be turned upside down in a matter of hours!<br /><br />For today's blog post I want you to imagine that you had been accused of witchcraft. What would you do? How would you react? What could you do to prove your innocence? Would you accuse others or would you simply try to prove your own innocence? Pretend that you live in Salem during these witch trials and you have been accused. Go to your blog and write a letter to the church in your community that would prove your innocence and perhaps request help from the church itself. Remember, your life is on the line...be convincing!! You may also do more than just write a letter...you decide how far you will go to prove your innocence!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7654810848114792352.post-77309774169727551372009-02-27T07:34:00.000-06:002009-02-27T07:34:00.902-06:00The Dresdon Dolls & French Toast<span style="font-family: verdana;">This post is unique...not much writing involved, which should make MOST of you happy! :) You have to follow these instructions, or this will not work!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1.

It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest or sympathy in the reader or viewer.</p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">Human interest stories may be <i>the story behind the story</i> about an event, organization or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during war-time, an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interview" title="Interview">interview</a> with a survivor of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_disaster" title="Natural disaster">natural disaster</a>, or profile of someone known for a career achievement.</p><p><br /></p><p style="font-family: verdana;">Often this is what draws us into something that might otherwise just be boring news or history. For example, the movie "Pearl Harbor" (albeit fictitious) has a story behind the story that draws you in and makes you think about what people during that could have been experiencing. It is the only reason I enjoy history, to know that there were real people living real lives during the events that shaped and molded the world in which we live today. Other times, these human interest stories are simply normal people living through extraordinary circumstances. They are "nameless" strangers one day and because of a choice or decision they make the next day they are making headlines! This is what the following story is about...just 3 ordinary kids who made an extraordinary decision!</p><br /><h1 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">German lovers – aged six and five – try to elope to Africa</h1> <h2 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" id="stand-first" class="stand-first-alone">Mika and his girlfriend Anna-Bell found on way to airport with lilo, swimming trunks and a witness for the wedding in tow</h2> </div> </div><!-- end article-header --> <div id="content"> <ul style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" class="article-attributes"><li class="byline"> <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/kateconnolly" name="&lid={contentTypeByline}{Kate Connolly}&lpos={contentTypeByline}{1}">Kate Connolly</a> in Berlin<br /> </li><li class="publication"> <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/" name="&lid={contentTypeByline}{guardian.co.uk}&lpos={contentTypeByline}{2}">guardian.co.uk</a>, Monday 5 January 2009 17.40 GMT </li><li class="history"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/05/german-children-elope-mika-annabel#history-byline" classname="rollover historylink" id="historylink-byline" class="rollover historylink">Article history</a></li></ul> <div id="article-wrapper"> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" class="image"> <img src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2009/1/5/1231177187478/Anna-Bell-Anna-Lena-and-M-001.jpg" alt="Anna-Bell, Anna-Lena and Mika in police custody at the main railway station in Hanover" height="276" width="460" /> <p class="caption">Anna-Bell, Anna-Lena and Mika at the police post at the main railway station in Hanover, central Germany, after being caught heading for the airport so Anna-Bell and Mika could 'get married in Africa'. Photograph: /AFP/Getty Images</p> </div> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">It is a dream that has been shared by lovers across the centuries – the chance to elope to exotic lands. But few would have been as bold and spontaneous as six-year-old Mika and his five-year-old sweetheart Anna-Bell who, after mulling over their options in secret, packed their suitcases on New Year's Eve and set off from the German city of Hanover to tie the knot under the heat of the African sun.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">The children left their homes at dawn while their unwitting parents were apparently sleeping, and took along Mika's seven-year-old sister, Anna-Lena, as a witness to the wedding.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Donning sunglasses, swimming armbands and dragging a pink blow-up lilo and suitcases on wheels packed with summer clothes, cuddly toys and a few provisions, they walked a kilometre up the road, boarded a tram to Hanover train station and got as far as the express train that would take them to the airport before a suspicious station guard alerted police.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">"What struck us was that the little ones were completely on their own and that they had lots of swimming gear with them," said Holger Jureczko, a police spokesman. He described Mika and Anna-Bell as "sweethearts" who had "decided to get married in Africa where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Mika's sister".</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Anna-Bell told the German television station RTL: "We wanted to get married and so we just thought: 'Let's go there.' "</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Mika said: "We wanted to take the train to the airport, then we wanted to get on a plane and when we arrived we wanted to unpack the summer things and then we wanted to go for a bit of a stroll in the sun."</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Mika and Anna-Lena's mother, who was not identified, said she had known nothing of her children's plan. "I'm still in a state of shock. I thought 'I'm playing a part in a bad movie.' When we realised the kids were missing we went looking for them." But only when the police called did they realise what had happened.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Asked why they failed to let their parents know, the children said they thought they would not be gone for long.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Mika told police he instigated the plan having been inspired by a winter holiday with his family in Italy. "Based on this the children began to make plans for the future," Jureczko said.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">To allay their disappointment at being caught, Hanover police gave them a tour of the police headquarters. Jureczko said: "They'll have the chance to put their plan into action at a later date".</p><p><br /></p><p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Your assignment today is to find, copy and paste into your blog a human interest story!

The orphanage was horrible, the owner of Apple Tree Orphanage was Walter Green. He was a mean old man who didn't care about any of the kids just as long as he was paid. Her parents left her in a basket on the front porch of the orphanage when she was a newborn. Now she is five and she wonders everyday when her parents are going to come get her. There are about 27 girls in her room and they are rude to her and make fun of her all the time. She lies in bed every night and just wonders what her parents look like or their personalities. Every thursday different couples came and looked at all the kids and no one ever chose her because she would hide because she just knew her parents would come and rescue her. But one day she realized their not going to come and she just gave up. Christmas was coming close and her big christmas wish was just to have parents who love her. She went on day by day just playing by herself and excited about Christmas. On the thursday before Christmas their was this couple who were as sweet as could be and they just walked over to her and talked to her. She fell in love instantly, the lady was beautiful just what she pictured her mother like. They asked her if she would like to come home with them and she just lit up like a lightbulb. Of course she said yes and she packed her bags and told everyone goodbye. When she walked into their home she just started crying because she never thought this day would come. They had her bedroom ready for her, it was decorated in pink and had so many babydolls. A lot better than the orphanage!! The next day was Christmas and she was ecstatic, her new parents tucked her into bed and told her how much they loved her and were happy to have her. She jumped out of bed that morning and ran into the living room and there were her presents from Santa. That day was the best day of her life and the best Christmas ever!!!

After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience. </span></span></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;">One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb!

Plumb kept wondering what the man might have looked like in a Navy uniform. He wondered how many times he might have seen him and not even said good morning, how are you or anything, because you see, he was a fighter pilot and the man was just a sailor. Plumb thought of the many hours that sailor had spent in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he did not know. </span></span></p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Now Plumb asks his audience, "Who is packing your parachute?" Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down. As you go through your week, month, and even New Year, recognize the people who have packed your parachute and enabled you to get where you are today!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Now go to your blog and list (at least ) six people who have "packed your parachute" at some point in your life.
