We had a great time and met friends from Canada that we now correspond with. Now what awaits us is Tax season. Oh I love Tax time-hee hee. Actually it makes it possible to go play the rest of the year. For the next 3 months I signed up for classes at Dixie for the semi-retired or retired people. My friend Lucille takes classes and so she and I have gone to two already. They have a variety for just $40 for 2 semesters. There aren't any tests, but there are books to read if you want to take the Favorite Book class. They just read The Nine by Toobin about the Supreme Court. I listened to the discussion and will read the book for Feb. called, Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese. I am also taking a Journey of the Hero class-- it makes you look within yourself and find the hero within. There are a miriad of classes, geology, hiking, photography, languages, computer classes, tax management and estate planning; pretty much anything you want. They are generally once a week. So you can pick and choose. </div></div></div></div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-8813106809007430192010-09-23T06:30:00.000-07:002010-09-23T06:40:17.809-07:00Sister Trip to Vegas<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TJtYkAkTifI/AAAAAAAAAP8/By1uLPpAAno/s1600/Sept.+8-18+2010+014.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520103143923485170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TJtYkAkTifI/AAAAAAAAAP8/By1uLPpAAno/s320/Sept.+8-18+2010+014.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TJtYV7RGefI/AAAAAAAAAP0/ePj-3XeVRAo/s1600/Sept.+8-18+2010+023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520102901982591474" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TJtYV7RGefI/AAAAAAAAAP0/ePj-3XeVRAo/s320/Sept.+8-18+2010+023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TJtYGgf406I/AAAAAAAAAPs/TqIBhlTE6_w/s1600/Sept.+8-18+2010+015.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520102637098816418" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TJtYGgf406I/AAAAAAAAAPs/TqIBhlTE6_w/s320/Sept.+8-18+2010+015.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Having sisters and only sisters is a beautiful experience. I am lucky to have the two best sisters in the world. I'm almost 59 and didn't really get to know them as adults until I was in my 20's and 30's. We have 6 years between us in age and I, being in the middle, get to look ahead to what it might be like in 6 more years and I look behind and remember what it was like 6 years ago. We share joys, sadnesses, and how to deal with life better. We buoy each other up, knowing that in a day or two we will go our seperate ways, have more experiences and learn more until the next year. </div></div></div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-22241171034005603732010-06-19T06:18:00.000-07:002010-06-19T06:34:22.146-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TBzHOf1VtKI/AAAAAAAAAO8/H-soHSDsZ-M/s1600/Missouri+2010+011.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484477498107737250" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TBzHOf1VtKI/AAAAAAAAAO8/H-soHSDsZ-M/s320/Missouri+2010+011.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TBzG9-04CwI/AAAAAAAAAO0/L3lVHX388Ho/s1600/Missouri+2010+015.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484477214369516290" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/TBzG9-04CwI/AAAAAAAAAO0/L3lVHX388Ho/s320/Missouri+2010+015.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Just got back from 2 trips to Missouri/Kansas. I got to see Nicole with her family and was also able to reconnect with my old college roomate, Jackie Springer. It has been an interesting month and a half. I've had a couple of close death experiences which always makes it exciting. One was on Mother's Day when I hit a cement median on the freeway on my side of the car which did extensive damage-$8000.00 to be exact. The roof crumpled, the side was smashed and I was fine. The next happened a couple of days ago in Minnesota at the airport while waiting for a shuttle bus. I hadn't planned on having to stay over enroute to Vegas but because of fun air experiences I had to. I was waiting with about 23 others when the van I had been waiting for rammed into the side of the airport injuring 4 of the 23 that were waiting. One was badly hurt, the others got away with a few problems. I had this silly green blanket that I put on a man thinking that might help-you know "a woobie." Then we finally got to the motel and there were tornadoes all over the place. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>The good news I got to reconnect with people, have the opportunity for some more time on this earth, see the grandkids and get a new car. </div></div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-7273374334560543552009-12-03T02:02:00.000-08:002009-12-03T02:07:52.350-08:00Grand Canyon with Rick, Deanna,and Paul<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SxeN0Uqr5TI/AAAAAAAAAOs/kC5v0Z737K0/s1600-h/Teresa%27s+218.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410949407349400882" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SxeN0Uqr5TI/AAAAAAAAAOs/kC5v0Z737K0/s320/Teresa%27s+218.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SxeNh9nSW-I/AAAAAAAAAOk/hL-dhW2ZrdE/s1600-h/Teresa%27s+216.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410949091923483618" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SxeNh9nSW-I/AAAAAAAAAOk/hL-dhW2ZrdE/s320/Teresa%27s+216.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-50814509146661822392009-07-05T15:57:00.000-07:002009-07-05T16:09:32.926-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SlEyKEEuLxI/AAAAAAAAAOc/5jeoMnWihtI/s1600-h/Teresa%27s+144.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355116580393856786" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SlEyKEEuLxI/AAAAAAAAAOc/5jeoMnWihtI/s320/Teresa%27s+144.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Fourth of July weekend has brought Paul and me to his cabin in Island Park, Idaho.

I am now a teacher that will retire the end of May! I am in the midst of selling my collection of books, games, and teaching supplies that I've collected for 27 years. I will save some, of course, but my 2 bedroom condo can't quite handle all the extra "stuff." It's an interesting feeling having hoards of teachers coming in my classroom and sifting through my things. </div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-38321281179675292202009-04-19T17:52:00.000-07:002009-04-19T18:08:57.086-07:00Sun. April 19I had a pretty fun week with my sis-in-law, Lori spending most of it with me. We got pedicures, shopped, ate out, watched videos and mostly talked. It snowed on Wed. which was really weird especially since that was our track meet day. I got skin cancers burned off Thurs.(which is always fun). <br />Friday evening Lori's husband Dan and son Jon (just home from a mission) came down. I've been feeling a bit stressed (understatement) so Friday eve. I asked if Dan and Jon would give me a blessing. It was so wonderful having 2 worthy priesthood holders in my home ready and willing to use the power of the priesthood. There was alot of strength in the house. I have alot of work to do on myself which is sad at this age, but better to do it now than never.<br />Saturday was a beautiful day and we took the top off the jeep and spent the day visiting my ex-in-laws-Cunninghams and zipping around town. <br />Saturday was the 3rd anniversary of my mom's death and I re-read the spiritual things that happened the evening I was with her as the bishop used His power to do amazing things. I'll forever be greatful for that. <br />I'm still waiting to hear if I am qualified to retire. Hopefully that will all be settled soon.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-44065156740201835922009-04-09T11:43:00.000-07:002009-04-09T11:45:16.426-07:00Well new news on this front. I might be retiring at the end of the school year. After 27 years of work work work I'm thinking I may take some time off and travel.

It was great seeing Sue, Paul, Cory, Adam, baby Paul, Sammi, Stacy, Malcolm, Lauren, Caity, and Nanette. Sue and I played "hoof and mouth" almost everyday and went to 3 movies. I got to see the beautiful home in Elizabeth and have a great meal with the Lees.

Friday was a very non-productive day with parades, parties, and costumes. But I got to leave at 1:15 to even go have more fun.<br /><br />I'm not happy that the Hopkins are leaving for Colo. What are they thinking? LOL<br /><br />School is good as far as my class is concerned. They are good listeners and thinkers, and keep me on my toes. <br /><br />Much love to all!<br />TeresaTeresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393078509500944984.post-5156358347418754682008-06-25T20:59:00.000-07:002008-12-11T22:41:29.456-08:00The Cruise<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMWtgTHZTI/AAAAAAAAAGM/P3R76hxmGV4/s1600-h/019.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216037764445201714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMWtgTHZTI/AAAAAAAAAGM/P3R76hxmGV4/s320/019.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMWT5yDSBI/AAAAAAAAAGE/3Iug13XKuZA/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216037324609243154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMWT5yDSBI/AAAAAAAAAGE/3Iug13XKuZA/s320/017.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMVtb35Y3I/AAAAAAAAAF8/FnU8VIC2I38/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216036663745667954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMVtb35Y3I/AAAAAAAAAF8/FnU8VIC2I38/s320/016.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMVXlh2vSI/AAAAAAAAAF0/weRKjLt54r8/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216036288380452130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oA25xbR9paY/SGMVXlh2vSI/AAAAAAAAAF0/weRKjLt54r8/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>The sister's trip was a success! We went to Cabo, and then to Ensenada. We felt as though we were living in a dorm because the room was very compact. We sunbathed when it was hotter than 62 degrees. The theme of the cruise was everyone wearing bathrobes everywhere because it was so cold- and people hadn't expected that. I've never seen so many people keeping warm with the robes. We spent time talking eating, and then eating and talking. It was Fun!</div></div></div></div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00160925873752043383noreply@blogger.com2
