MY OWN SECRET

I have recently been published in a book!  It's called Coaching a Club:  Seven Secrets to Forming a Successful Speech & Debate Club.  The author compiled thoughts and ideas of 11 people across this country who are deeply involved in homeschool forensics; it's extremely helpful for people who are interested in that topic.

She asked us each to supply a short bio of ourselves, along with a photo.  A photo??!  Because I'm the chief photographer of the house, and because I've neither run for office OR had a glamour shot done, there really isn't a lovely photo of myself just lying around.

But I found one in my computer. 


It's well enough to hold its own with the other contributors.  But what people DON'T know (although you yourself might recall from a former post) is the context of this photo:  I was having a high-old-time drilling holes into a plastic trash can!


THAT'S my own secret.

  3. wow! How exciting.But I just want to mention... if you want to keep something a secret, perhaps putting it out there in cyberspace is not the best plan...

  5. you know, I've thought this over, and I seem to remember a photo of you in a hat you won in a white elephant exchange... or one in a little red riding hood kind of outfit... I think of those photos first when I think of you. But that is probably because they were some of the first I saw.

  6. @TobyBo - Well, I never thought of the white elephant Christmas photo!  Perhaps you're right; I should have used that one.

  7. @TheChickadeeFeeder - yes indeed. I just went back to your photo strip and found it and think it was one of the first of your posts I read and decided just then I definitely wanted to be your friend.  :)
