| Margaret Bowman, teacher |
I always wanted to "play school'
when I was a child. My friends and I would set up a school in my
garage. |
Darla High, ice-cream in one
hand and popsicle in the other |
All through college, I worked
at a Creamery and many of the "treats" were my favorites. |
| Nancy Bowman, wearing rainwear |
Dressed for all kinds of weather,
my sister and I would stand at the bus stop waiting for the school
bus. |
| Penny Valentine, pulling a wagon of pumpkins |
Autumn has always been a special time and
Halloween will always be one of my favorite holidays in my classroom |
| Grace Valentine, carrying a spade and basket |
She was my first Lizzie High and reminds
me of how wonderful it is to play in the dirt. |
| St. Nicholas |
He reminds me of kindness towards
animals. |
| Jessica High with a homemade hand print |
My daughter, Jessica, gave me this very
special doll for Mother's Day. |
| Darlene Bowman, crooning cowgirl |
My husband captured my interest in country
western line dancing and music with this adorable doll. |
Marisa Valentine dressed as a witch  |
Dressed in Halloween costumes, my brother,
sister and I would go trick or treating in our neighborhood for candy and
coins. |
| Cynthia High dressed in Sunday clothes |
My Mother gave this to me on Christmas and
I will always remember standing in line with my daughter waiting for her
to have a chance to sit on Santa's lap. |
| Nettie Brown holding a striped stocking |
My latest addition reminds me of hanging
the stockings on Christmas Eve. |
| Little Rebecca Bowman wearing a kerchief |
My Mother stood in line for this one and
it reminds me of what we do for others to make them happy. |
| Pappy Pawtucket, holding an Easter basket |
As parents, my sister and I often had as
much fun hiding the eggs as the children did trying to find them.
My daughter would, also, spend time repeatedly hiding and finding her own
eggs. |
| Juliet Valentine, holding an embroidery
hoop |
Reminds me of times gone by when I would
spend hours embroidering special gifts for Christmas. |
| Chloe Valentine, reading to her teddy bear |
One of my favorite Lizzie High dolls since
it reminds me of my special passion--reading. |
| Annabelle Bowman, sitting at the sewing
machine |
Years ago, I made matching jumpers for my
daughter and I. I still remember that they were plum colored with
multicolored trim. |
