Three Hairs - Author Unknown

A good friend of mine who lives in the state of Washington, sent this darling story to me via email. I loved it so much, I simply wanted to share it with you. I hope you get out of this story what I did. Oh, and I even gave a copy of it just for fun to my sisters I visit teach, as it went along nicely with part of a message that I gave this past year. Enjoy!


There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head....

"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Teach the Children












I have finally completed the pages for the story that my family calls.."The Christmas Symbols", but is taken from the story "Teach the Children". This has been a family tradition since I was a child to do in a Family Christmas program on either Family Home Evening or on Christmas Eve. I have lots of fond memories of all the different Christmas Symbols. My suggestion is to download each picture and save on your computer to a file. Then open up your desktop publishing program or it might even work in MS Word. and size them to an 8 x 8 inch page. Print them off (best quality is on Photo paper or 2 sided brochure paper)and cut to size and slip them into an 8 x 8 inch scrapbook album. You can get these at Michael's, JoAnns, Roberts and other craft & scrapbook stores. Enjoy this tradition.

You know what they say about old friends and antiques? They grow more valuable with time.

Glad that you dropped by my blog!

This blog and it's contents go hand in hand with my Visiting Teaching Tips and handouts blog found at http://visitingteachingtips.blogspot.com/ If you by accident get to this blog first, make sure to go back to the other one and see all that there is for you there. This is sort of my overflow or stroage blog because I can't keep everything there, so I add my creations to this storage unit and that is my Visiting Teaching Surprise for you. Sometimes however, I do put in things that I think you would enjoy even if they aren't specifically related to Visiting Teaching, but my vision in life is that if I take all the time to make things, I may as well share them and get more use out of them. Sorta like hand me downs but brand new "Down loads". I hope you enjoy these freebies. Drop me a note to say hello in the comments under the downloads posts.
