The idiom "my cup of tea" is used to refer to something one likes to do.  For example, I love to read historical fiction and recently finished a book by one of my favorite authors. Sandra Dallas as an author is my cup of tea! I became familiar with her works when she wrote The Persian Pickle Club about a quilting club in Kansas during the Dust Bowl. I enjoy her books to the point where I order them from the library without looking at the subject. So, I put a loan request in  (thanks, Ada Public Library) for her latest novel The Little Souls without thinking about the topic.

Bluffton Elementary School music teacher Alice Basinger has retired after 30 years and was celebrated by her colleagues at a party during the last week of school. They presented her with an album of mementos from current students.

The Icon quizzed her, what did the teacher learn during her time at the elementary school? Basinger responded, “I tried to be more relaxed, because I’m very structured.” She also noted that she learned from the wisdom of other teachers including Nancy Fultz and Nancy Yeager.
