It was exciting for me to be asked to write the short stories for the
lovely songs created by JoySoul Corporation. My inspiration came
from the many wonderful students that I had the privilege of teaching
in my twenty-nine year career. I hope that you enjoy them.

As you can see from my picture above, I am surrounded by frogs!
My students noticed my fascination for them during our yearly units
on the rainforest. Frogs began showing up on my desk quite
frequently. There were frog pins, a frog vase, stuffed frogs, frog keychains, rock frogs, jumping frogs, croaking frogs, and frogs of
every kind--even live ones! They are each filled with a special memory.

One of the funniest incidents occurred, one morning, while I was visiting with a parent before school. A student came up to me and plunked two lively little frogs into my hand. They really tickled and made me laugh! We soon found a container for them and everyone got to enjoy them until I took them home.
On our wheat farm in North Dakota, near the Canadian border, we had toads by the zillions, but very few frogs. I always looked forward to rainy days, as the toads always came out. They were big, small and middle sized. As soon as it would quit raining, I would haul out my red wagon and collect toads until it was filled. It was such a "hoppy" sight! I would then proudly head to the house to show them to my mother. I soon found out that she didn't like toads much, but it didn't dampen my enthusiasm for the little creatures.
I'm so glad that God gave us animals.
Don't you think it makes our world a more wonderful place?
