5/27/11........at Houston High and in a special "gift" mug from Traci. "Friends are like flowers; you get to pick 'em!" How grateful I am for the HHS folks that "picked me!" It's been the relationships within these school wall that have made this last "work" season so special for me. It all still seems somewhat surreal.
I'm sure when I close the reference library door for the last time, a part of my heart will just chip off and reside there. It hurt
just to take the Mrs. Liles sign down---like ripping off part of my identity. "Miss Dotsy" for 21 years as a pre-school/kindergarten teacher (and university tenure) and Mrs. Liles for the last 21, as a librarian was who I was.....a working woman.The school farewell gift was a perfect remembrance----an Arthur Court chip and dip with horses, representing not only the mustang symbol of HHS but symbolic also for this born and bred Kentucky gal who is leaving. As I drive off in my silver "old lady" Cadillac, I'm sure someone is waiting in the distance for slot #1 in the front parking lot facing east. I just hope they enjoy their tenure as much as I have.
