Ginny, I had no idea you weren't doing the six traits
workshops anymore. Just the new grandson would be enough to
make you forget teaching...LOL.

I have had many changes myself, too. I moved from Irving to
Fort Worth (I-35W and Heritage Trace Parkway area). I just
love it! I am still trying to put things up so I can get
busy writing more moose books--Science 4/5 and Math for
First.

I do miss the kids, but not everything else about teaching.
I may do some TAKS tutoring next year at a new school being
built in my neighborhood. I think it would be good to get
out of the house and make some human contact. That is the
downside of working out of your home....just me and the dog!
LOL.

Thanks for keeping us posted. Come see me sometime when you
are in the area. Diane
