Rewind: February 10, 2013


Jamie

This rewind breaks the rules a bit. The picture is new but the content is a big rewind - back to when I was 4 years old! With the studio refresh I was absolutely thrilled to find my kindergarten report card. I've been looking for it for ages because I want to frame it. I just can't believe how I was me then and I'm me now. I am so grateful to my teacher for seeing me and giving me this great gift.

Rewind: February 10, 2013
Suzie

It seems to weird now but on the very rare occasion is would snow on Vancouver Island I would run out and take photographs down by the lagoon. Clam shells were transformed by snow. I would find racoon paw prints on my walk there. Today after "the big snow" all I want to do is stay home!

That feels like a much more reasonable amount of snow to deal with on a regular basis Suzie! I can totally understand how this weather would have you aching to west coast home goodness :)

Jamie Ridler Studios said...

What an amazing picture! It seems far more enjoyable to have snow be a magical sometimes event :)

Late rewind for me :)

Shannon said...

Wow, I can't believe how much of that is still so true Jamie! We are who we are, from when we are wee til always! I love the eagerly participates in puppetry and dramatics, that's awesome!!! Fabulous :)

Mine probably says I missed a few days of classes! lol!

Jamie Ridler Studios said...

Lol, I wonder what yours would say!

The dramatics and puppetry totally made me laugh! What a joy :)

Hey, that's probably what your report card said, "What a joy."

Suzie Ridler said...

That is so you Jamie! And I'm so glad you found that treasure. Amazing how we know who we are so early. The puppetry comment made me smile. Shannon's would probably mention that she likes sharing too, you were always good at that. I don't think teachers said anything interesting about me, LOL.

Jamie Ridler Studios said...

Sure they would, Suzie!

Suzie has an intensity rarely seen in someone so young. It often shows itself in her fierce sense of justice. She also shows early signs of a literary bent, perhaps she will become a writer.

Shannon said...

Awww, you are gonna make me blush!!

Shannon said...

Oh, I think Jamie would be good at writing report cards! And I'm sure they would say you have a strong independent streak Suzie, and know your own mind!

Suzie Ridler said...

Thank you for my very own report card Jamie, I love it! :) I agree Shannon, Jamie would be so good at writing report cards and seeing each student's special something. LOL, you know, they may have said that about me Shannon. Now I might have to go digging into my records to find out!
