Thanks for the poem. I love the image of giraffes "eavesdropping on the wind." Those students were lucky to have you visit. :-) Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09762498873800253686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-74934207261327633532016-03-21T20:17:28.391-05:002016-03-21T20:17:28.391-05:00Good idea, Brenda, to think of a smiling friend.

Otherwise I look self-conscious and dorky. Maybe I do anyway, now that I think about it. I still prefer regular candids of me. But you look great!Brenda at FriendlyFairyTaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368709489341876324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-24050782880417626702016-03-19T12:43:48.474-05:002016-03-19T12:43:48.474-05:00Thanks, everyone!

If you haven't yet read African Acrostics: A Word in Edgeways, do check it out.<br /><br />Robyn, I guess it would help if I figured out exactly where the camera is on my phone! <br /><br />Liz, I'm rarely fond of any pictures I see of myself. I just have to grit my teeth and bear it.<br /><br />Julie, I'm glad you enjoyed the selfie poem. Maybe I'll figure out a better way one of these days. (Ask the kids, right?)<br /><br />Linda, yes, I've been busy, but I've got a bit of a break right now. Today, I'm sewing, which I find relaxing. <br /><br />Enjoy the weekend, all!JoAnn Early Mackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812079420917080829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-9398415813878721592016-03-19T09:16:50.859-05:002016-03-19T09:16:50.859-05:00I've tried the selfies, too, and I seem to nev...I've tried the selfies, too, and I seem to never get the eyes right! But I love seeing the pics of you today, JoAnn. And it seems you've been busy. I like that acrostic very much, "Nibbling on high, they<br />Decorate the Sky." Just right, isn't it?Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-52766784708399758412016-03-18T11:27:43.738-05:002016-03-18T11:27:43.738-05:00Harley's poem is lovely, isn't it?
