NJEA Convention

Well, the big story on the NJEA Convention is I'm not there. I was actually thinking of going but there wasn't a BCEA bus this year and although the train sounded easy enough, I have never done it, so that was discouraging, and then I started thinking...why would I need to be there anyway? It is so wonderful for educators but the working ones, not the retired ones! So I hope everyone has a great time and learns a lot. Can't wait to hear all about it and see the photos on the website!

My big activity of the week (other than the dancing and kick boxing) was working for the Election Board again...this time in Westampton. It was a fun group and we managed to fill our fourteen work hours with lively activity. We had almost 500 voters which was a lot better than the 12 we had in Lumberton for the primary! I read
Kite Runner, which was really really good and I highly recommend it. I saw so many people I knew--including Sandy (BCEA office manager) en route to the airport, heading for FL, and Mike, Kathryn's old student teacher, Milt Hirshberger, from ABCO days of yore, assorted former colleagues and kids' parents...quite an array!

Samantha got married on Sunday and I can't wait to see the photos and hear all about it! I sure wish we could have been there. I'll bet she was the most beautiful bride ever...and the flower girl must have been adorable too!

We are trying to plan some trip details. My head hurts. But an ironic thing is in the course of discussion, Wilma and I realized that of all the gazillion cruises in the world her red hat ladies' cruise and my dancing Prospectors people cruise are one and the same!

Ok...time to meet Tom for dancing.

But first, thanks to Karen for being the first person ever to comment on my blog! Thank you!!!
