I recently listened to a wise teacher speak about how children should be taught the 3 "R"s ~ <BR/>1)Respect; 2)Responsibility; and 3)Resourcefulness. What a concept? One our parents did naturally. Lets all pray for our children, as it is they who will truly suffer.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270079078668353875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-33799941296019350462007-07-22T20:16:00.000-04:002007-07-22T20:16:00.000-04:00Manners make all the difference.Manners make all the difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-87816474113038805362007-07-22T01:28:00.000-04:002007-07-22T01:28:00.000-04:00Seems like manners are fading but have you noticed...Seems like manners are fading but have you noticed that there are at least two companies using examples of courtesy towards others as a positive way to be towards each other. And that courtesy is infectious. It's a sad thing that we must get this lesson from a TV commercial but considering how badly it is taught by so many, then thank goodness children are getting it from somewhere. Let's just hope that some of them actually DO "get" it.Annie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-6223863064137762142007-07-21T21:49:00.000-04:002007-07-21T21:49:00.000-04:00Amen Amen!!Amen Amen!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-27851328870314775072007-07-21T21:47:00.000-04:002007-07-21T21:47:00.000-04:00AMen !!!AMen !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-39818350580267243772007-07-21T20:58:00.000-04:002007-07-21T20:58:00.000-04:00This is such a good post.

Wow! I turned around to his mother and said, "Excellent job on the manners, momma!" She beamed and said, "Oh thank you!" It was one of those moments you hope for as a parent, so I was proud of her. thanks for bringing this up!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I LOOOVE the banners!!! looove them!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336060423137280187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-39750146973996819702007-07-21T02:31:00.000-04:002007-07-21T02:31:00.000-04:00beautiful works!

Some people walk through life, like the woman you encountered, as if they are the only people in existence. It's really quite sad.<BR/><BR/>I am behind in commenting but please know I think every single piece you have shown is LOVELY, just lovely. Have you been able to use up any of the fabric I sent you?

I can't stand watching those type of TV shows. Manners and civility are a lost art. Love the yummy bunting!
