Back to the routine

James arrived home safely from Germany last Sat. bearing many tasty
treats. His favorite part of the trip was his weekend in Holland but I
will let him post more about that later.

Wednesday, as part of their weekly English talk program here, I gave a
lecture/discussion about Carpinteria and how it inspired me to love
nature and want to do something to protect it. I let them see my shell
collection- they were most impressed by the sand dollars and showed a
short DVD we made of our trip to the tide pools one spring when Marlo
was a baby. It was really fun to be back in teacher mode again.
Besides, I finally got to wear the black suite I had made at Christmas
time. We talked about environmental protection and how it effects all
of us. It was really fun.

Anyway... I have been enjoying my chocolate more than I should... I am
sure coming down off the drug is going to be painful. Good thing
Easter is coming soon.
