We return to school the third week of August -- we're starting later next year than this year so we get a nice long vacation Of course, I 'm spending a good chunk of my summer planning and creating materials for next year, as well as taking a couple of continuing education courses. I hope you get some good long visits with your grand babies!

Into the third week of your summer vacation, I'm envious - mine only starts on 12 July and I fly home on the 14th - 3 weeks and 5 days from now. Enjoy your vacation, I guess that yours will end before mine, I start at the end of August and our students start on 9 September.

Hello again, my teacher friend! I am into my third week of summer vacation (holiday) and was wondering whether you are complete with your school year. I do hope you are well and happy

How are you, Vivienne? Long time since we've "chatted." I hope your school year is going well. God bless you!

It is amazing the things we can learn to do!
I envy your 18 days; 45 until our students finish - 57 until my quick holiday in Jordan and 61 until I get back home to South Africa and meet the new grandson.......I'm not counting anything either

It's great to "see" you again! I am recovering (still) from last year's accident and have adapted to playing the piano -- God's wiring of our brains is simply amazing!

I hope you are doing well and having a good school year. We only have 18 days left, not that I'm counting Enjoy your day!

Hi Amanda, just getting back to CAF after being a drop-in visitor for way too long. Trying to find all the people I used to interact with back then......... I see you'll be playing for Mass after the supposed "end of the world", so I guess your surgeries on your hand have gone well (or you've learned to adapt). See you around on the forums. Vivienne

Just came here to respond to the message you left me and explain where I've been, but my troubles are as nothing compared to your Palm Sunday injury. How are you doing now?
Our children have 7 weeks to go. Our big concert (called a "Production" and it is one, believe me) was 2 weeks ago, so it's good to have that behind us, just loads of assessments to do over the next 4 weeks. Basically my lap top and my modem were terminally ill the week after the production. I'd been considering a replacement for the lap top for a while, and had to take action sooner than expected, then the modem died completely, but diagnosis took a good few days. Now on new computer and modem and everything should run well for a couple of years. I've also been having to deal with some big problems at the house I still own in SA - not easy with computer and internet problems and the house stuff is still a problem.

Haven't caught up with you in a looooong time, or so it seems to me Hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring season. We have five more weeks of school here, and my students have 13 more performances -- what was i thinking??

Blessed Mercy Sunday to you! I hope you are having a beautiful Easter season
