Between my Wife, Sister, and Me we have a total of over 100 years in Education that ranges from Kindergarten to Post Graduate School students. Our formal education embodies 7 college degrees, mostly related to Education. As you might expect when we all would get together through the years, there would be a WHOLE LOT of stories about the students we served. Funny, Inspiring, Heart Breaking would represent the different tones of those conversations. I believe it is accurate to say I have been exposed, both personally and through family, to a very wide range of educational experiences from both the Student and Teacher perspectives.

A Birthday Cake and the Fire Department
One of the interesting facts about Casa Rosenauer is that My Birthday is one day before the Boss Lady’s. We calculated it would be something different if we married on the following day.
Putting Wax on an Old Vehicle
Our Dentist, over the last few years, was originally a neighbor down the block before moving closer to his Practice. His two Daughters match up well with our Grand Daughters, and they have played together multiple times. We sure do like that family AND the Staff at work.
I should have just bought more beef
We attended the funeral of a long-time friend of ours today and while listening to different folks talk about him, this Tale came running into my old brain.
Under two years older than me, we had a LOT of commonalities. Some are listed below to provide context.
More Likely to Succeed
Did you ever get one of those medals in school that said:
MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED
Me Neither! Although I am pretty sure several of the Pearsall Public School Teachers and I KNOW ALL OF THE COACHES told me I was….Most Likely to Mess Up! Or similar words.
Take What You Can From Me
An important lesson in Life, at least for Me, is that no two people walk the same journey while in and of this World.
Live It and Not Just Hear It
An incident occurred recently at our Worship Service one Sunday morning that struck a certain chord in me and the result of that situation and my reaction to it caused the idea for this Tale to come about.
The Boss Lady and I were sitting there enjoying the singing and looking forward to the Message/Lesson when one of our Security Team Members touched me on the shoulder and said come with me. Now this Big Ole Boy is someone I think the world of, so I immediately jumped, or maybe more like stumbled up, and quickly followed him out.
We may be a little bit lost be we are making Good Time!
For a very long time I have been friends with a fellow I will call Robert. He worked for many years in a large financial planning organization, before breaking off and starting his own firm. It is sort of a 1 person deal with a part-time administrative helper. Robert is one of us “LUCKY DUCKS” who married WAY up and his wonderful Bride had her own very successful career for many years before retiring not too long ago.

Getting Ready to be Excited
I would not pretend to understand the mindset of all the folks who read The Devine News, but I am kinda/sorta sure that some portion of those, at least those nice enough to read my Tales, are in about the same mood as I am getting to be in. And that is about ready to become excited.
Looking Past the Hot and Dry
From time to time in the Tales I scribble, and the kind Ms. K. Holder allows to be published, I reference one of the “sayings” that was used in the Rosenauer Clan back when I was a child. For the Record, that was a LONG time ago! Some have hung around and I am recalling one today. While working long and hard, as most farmers did and STILL do, my Grand Dad would sometimes say:
