What was Your Favorite Year in School?

Don't have time to read?? Me neither!  But I have to admit that I like the idea of a book club and all the fun of the discussions and snacks.  This section poses a question and provides a great quickie snack recipe to munch while we answer the challenging questions in life.

What was your favorite year in school? Before I answer this week's question, I am going to make  my "Bookless Book Club" snack.  You can't go imaginary reading on an empty stomach!  I drink a lot of smoothies.  I find them to be so much more refreshing than milkshakes.  Most times I don't follow a recipe, rather I just throw in some fruit, ice, and yogurt, but for this smoothie I did follow an easy recipe.  So, get your blender revved up....



Strawberry Banana Smoothie

3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup crushed ice cubes
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup frozen strawberries, unsweetened
1 small ripe banana

In a blender combine all ingredients for 30 - 45 seconds until smooth. Makes 2 smoothies.



What was my favorite year in school?  Probably my sixth grade year. I loved the social studies lessons about ancient cultures.  Sixth grade was the year we learned about ancient Greece and Rome, and the Middle ages.  All very exciting times.  We got to do a play on the stage for the other sixth graders about Ancient Greece.  We floated around in our beautiful togas (bedsheets) with our woven gilded wreaths (spray painted bushes) on our heads.  It was a magical time, indeed.  We also did a play of The Wizard of Oz. (I had to be the Wicked Witch.  I didn't want to shrivel and melt but I had the darkest colored hair and the part fell to me.) 

We did a lot of plays that year.  The teacher probably just wanted to get rid of us and sent us up on the stage in the auditorium to practice.  In those days, you had a little more freedom and teachers weren't analyzed to death about every second of the day.  Ironically, those relaxed times in class were the ones I remembered the most and probably shaped my life the most.  To this day, I love to read about ancient cultures and have planned travel to countries simply because I enjoyed sixth grade social studies so very much.
