THING #9:LANSING 2008 .Pictured here with Honorable Aldo Vagnozzi

I am posting this picture as part of a RESA course that I am taking through DPS. I added this border to a picture that was sent to me by Ingrid Stemmerich on her cell phone (to my cell phone) while I was sitting next to my mom at her hospital bedside (she is doing MUCH better now). I then sent the image to my email address. TeChNoGy really is a GoOd thing!
I was excited that the The SHOW WENT ON (without me). That's because the students were WELL prepared and under the direction of Myra Prueter, the vocal teacher (extrodinaire) from Schulze Elementary and the WONDERFUL (couldn't do this without you) love and guidance of the parents, the students were WELL received in LANSING, the STATE CAPITAL OF MICHIGAN.

THING 8

I can't wait to change my title (here) using FLICKR SPELLING!
I enjoy using color and different fonTs and now, being able to add texture is exciting.
The notes I send home to parents are colorful and I use different shapes to draw attention to certain key items.
I know that the students are going to LOVE using these tools.

Dessie is eating my flowers!

The most beautiful multi-colored roses and my daughter's cat, Dessie, is enjoying them in 'her own way' (argh!)

THING 6 and 7

As proficient as I 'thought' I was, I'm getting flustered because I'm multi-tasking and flickr is up and my blog is up and and and. I just realized that posting my picture on flickr doesn't PUT it on my blog...so that's what I'm going to do now. I hope that my parents begin to add to the flickr site!

THING 5

Reading other blogs is interesting but I'm just not finding the time to explore right now. I'm anxious to find interesting blogs and will have MUCH more time once school is out.
I think that subscribing to a blog right from the site is the easiest for me.
I think it might have been a mistake to combine my "23THINGS" blog with the blog I have created for my parents and students.
I think that a blog format for the "yahoo-group" that I have subscribed to for several years, would be a much better format.
I signed up for having a 'alert' when someone makes a comment on my blog, but wish there were more comments (more frequent comments).

My performing group played for the Freedom Institute's Public Policy Luncheon last week, Friday and Dick Gregory was the keynote speaker! I have media releases from all the students so, as soon as I get the video and pictures from that day, I will post them.
A grandmother of one of my students who was at this incredible event, sent me these flowers today, to my SCHOOL! What a wonderful surprise. I have NEVER gotten flowers delivered to my school.
