Bio
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

The Teacher's Desk
Who remembers being called up to the teacher's desk? The desk was usually covered up with all kinds of papers that were done at one time or another. You wonder why you were called, and notice a drawer was open. Do you peek? A desk of secrets and questions and answers to seek.

The Student Desk
Do you remember sitting in a desk something like this one? Placing your head down and seeing all the doodles that other students wrote makes one think and then scratch their own message to pass along to other new students who will be sitting in this same seat maybe one day. Good memory.

A Cafeteria
Now my school did not have an outside cafeteria, but we did have an area if we wanted to go out just for some fresh air. School cafeterias places of so-called mystery meat and other culinary somewhat disasters in the name of healthy, nutritious eating. No wonder I was mainly a brown-bag person.

The Tracks
Why don't trains travel on me anymore? I know there are weeds from time to time on my rails, but won't the wheels on the trains cut the weeds away? I swear I can hear many trains, but why don't they travel on me now? Too many questions and no answers for me.

The Bench
There was a bench all covered with snow. In the woods deep inside a park. This bench sits wondering when will the people be back and sit and have conversations again while sitting on me. I so do love the sound of voices of all kinds. When will the voices return for me.

What's in Your Locker
Going back to junior high (middle school) and then on to high school ad what did you pack your lockers with day to day. To be honest the only things I actually put in my locker was my coat and books. If I close my eyes and try to remember when walking down the hallway and yes sometimes, I did peek into other's lockers.

What's in your Lunch box?
Remember going to school carrying your Scooby Doo lunch box or whatever favorite character was on it at the time. This was always a mystery to be solved when lunchtime arrived unless you requested something the night before, but you were not sure if your request would be granted. I will always remember asking for Hostess Ding Dongs or even potato chips and sometimes even pop when I got into fourth and fifth grades and above.
