The busy morning got underway South Hill’s 107.7 FM, for a brief radio interview.

I meet Greg & Michelle, South Hill’s 107.7 FM morning radio show crew. After the show, Greg shuttled me a few miles over to La Crosse Elementary School, where I was due to  speak a few minutes later.

With Ms. Johnson, Teacher of the Year, and La Crosse Elementary Principal Connie Puckett.

Starting the day by speaking to grades 3, 4 and 5. The kids ask excellent questions, which inspires me because the enthusiasm to ask questions is key to learning so much in life!!  I’m typically never able to answer all the questions within the given period time I have to speak to any group of students. I’m ambivalent about this: on one hand, I wish I could answer all of their questions while at the school. More importantly, however, the fact that there are always more questions than I can answer proves their wonderful enthusiasm. 

…and then second grade

…and first grade

…and finally: KINDERGARTEN!!!

After speaking to all students, La Crosse Elementary Principal Connie Puckett shuttled me over to A Mane Event Salon, where owner Michelle Phillips Bradley, who co-hosts 107.7 FM’s morning show, had invited me in for a massage and pedicure.
Michelle’s partner, Ms. Johnna Maurice, gave me the massage and pedicure, doing a fantastic job!!

Thanks for the magically rejuvenating massage, Johnna!

First pedicure of my life!
(And perhaps my last, lol!)

Mid afternoon, I drifted through South Hill, and logically, into the library, where Gloria, Deborah and Donna recognized and warmly greeted me!
