Catching up

There is nothing like a quiet weekend once in a while. It certainly has been a great opportunity to get some rest (10 hours of sound sleep both nights), clean my house, and just recharge.
Really, things have been so busy at work with 3 annual reviews last week and Ellyn still out. I have a permanent sub for Ellyn now, rather than having several different ones. Eileen hired Tamara, who I have enjoyed getting to know via my Bunco group. Tamara had expressed interest in working and this was a good chance for her to do that without too large of a commitment. Tamara is doing an awesome job of filling in for Ellyn. She is warm and cozy and really gets kids. They love her and vice verse.
I am still in the midst of teaching or facilitating a continuing education class on using iPads to enhance student engagement and outcomes. It's a 7 session course(1 1/2 hours each time) and we have just completed the 4th session. It's great fun, but work to pull together all the info and then present it.
I also just completed a 5 week photography class. Still getting the hang of using my new dSLR. Very cool class but a little bit of mental gymnastics are involved for me!
But it's all good. And the trees couldn't be any more beautiful this time of year. I took this picture on my walk with Jean this morning.
