Out of State Possibilities

It is a rainy morning here in South Carolina. Just sitting watching Sunday Morning on TV and thinking about what I will do today. I have a bit of sewing to do as Christmas is just around the corner. I also want to head out to the stores to look for some hiking boots. I do have the book that my friend wrote to dig more into later on in the day but I think most of the day will be sewing.  I learned how to sew from my grandmother. She was from Scotland and was a tailor and sewed all my mothers dresses. At a young age, she sat me in front of the sewing machine and I made my first pair of shorts at the young age of seven.  From then on, I was hooked.  Learning to sew has been so much part of my life through the years. From making clothes for my grandsons, myself and my children. Learning, is the key word here. From all that sewing, my young son sewed for the Navy, packing and repairing parachutes was his assignment. He learned how to sew from sitting on my lap at a very young age as I made him and his brother and sisters outfits to wear. We pass things onto our children as they grow and mature. Even if we don't think they are picking things up, they are.

I went back to school for many reasons. One of those reasons was to be a good example for my children and my grandchildren. Just like my son learned how to sew from watching me, maybe he will continue his education like I did. Granite State College was a good foundation for my education and gave me the tools and smarts to carry on in today's working society. There are so many adult education services like the accelerated studies as well as online classes for adults; all are valuable recourse's to receive your adult education degree. I hope he goes to college to get his degree someday. It will only help him in his future and his development as a young adult in today society.

Life is all about learning, whether it be learning how to sew or learning that a college education is so valuable, it is all about learning. Studies show we should never let our minds get stagnate even in our senior years, so I will be learning for the rest of my life, at least that is the plan.
