all is well

my school year is off to a very good start. as usual, i have wonderful students. :) i'm again splitting each day between two elementary buildings - i like this. my schedule is great! i have sufficient planning time and the student groupings are working out well. i'm hopeful for lots of great learning and language acquisition this year! i even have time for lunch and bathroom breaks during my school days. life is good. woo hoo! :)

haven't bought a new (to me) car yet, but am considering a scion, honda fit, small subaru, or vw golf. any one have any good info. on any of these cars? just let me know. these seem like good options and i don't have to rush to choose one. we'll see. i'll keep you posted on any progress i make.

have been hiking a bit locally, as my knees allow. i'm loving the warm weather and am outdoors as much as possible. have been to tryon park, webster park, and ellison park recently. rochester has some lovely outdoor spaces and i can get to most of them pretty quickly. i like the size of this city. i don't like the lane reduction on 490! i've been spoiled by years of virtually no traffic to speak of until now. " yuck!" is all i have to say about that.

tomorrow is international walk to school day. it's going to be a long hike for me. i'll let you know how it goes. ;)

Didn't you just get a new-to-you car? Did I miss something?

Glad you're well!!

Ya, I bought a new to me Camry last August. It's a great car, but not really what I was after. I'm hoping to sell it and get something smaller. I'll keep you posted.
