After one of my colleagues (Mrs. Givhan) looked at my blog, she made the comment that my picture really did not look like me! I have to admit that the photo in my personal profile is one of my most favorites. Well, it actually isn't me, but it is a total picture of how I felt after spending 10 days last spring break with UAM students. The photo is actually on a postcard I bought in Budapest and I do have a better one that I may share with you at some point! However, because I have not met some of you, I didn't want you to be too surprised when you see me in September. With that in mind, I will place a photo that looks a little more like me.

This Saturday will be a big day for me--the big 60! I think I really am beginning to feel old--but I'm sure I will get over it. I have so much I want to learn and do that I guess I will just have to live to be 200 yrs. old. I'm pretty sure I really don't want that to happen--so I'll just keep cramming things into my days for now.

I love your blogs! I love reading about your experiences and can't wait to see photos of your classrooms. Also, I am learning so much from you (It's great to be a teacher with such technology-smart students!) Katherine Hilton shared information to help me get my "compost pile" in my title. Now I just have to have time to get it done.

So much for now. I am having so much fun looking at your blogs. (Where do some of you of find all those gadgets?) Keep up the good work!
