It's so much fun and it's also fun doing our weekend jaunts. You seem to know all the great little out of the way places and a lot of the history of this area, and at the end of the day you come home with some seriously great pictures, too. I love firing up the computer next morning and seeing what you've done with our outings.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676889985529767445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454491381670675786.post-2977283457246751632010-08-19T03:50:34.501-07:002010-08-19T03:50:34.501-07:0032 students!!!

That doesn't sound right to me at all - I don't envy you having to cope with that, and the pay cut is insulting - teachers are already underpaid - they ought to be paid a lot more IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454491381670675786.post-42129737760690859482010-08-18T23:09:58.396-07:002010-08-18T23:09:58.396-07:00Thank you Cheryl!

Or, anywhere out in the wilderness is good for me!<br />Boy, do I know about spending my own money for my classroom! Huge amounts add up over the 30+ years I taught. It was worth it but, I also try not to think about what the total could be...and, you lose income, gain students...geez! And, that is just the beginning, I'm sure. <br /><br />Thank you so much for the friendship award. I will proudly add it to my side-bar! :)Carolyn Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423196412007461675noreply@blogger.com
