New Year Thoughts

 I got the nicest message from a former student:

Hi Roberta, I hope this message finds you well. I was thinking about you this week, while helping my kids with their remote learning. We were talking about favorite teachers, and I was telling them about you. Like so many other parents right now, I’ve had to be more engaged in the process, and have had to learn to be way more patient than I’m accustomed to. I don’t how you did it so well, especially with students like me to contend with, but I wanted to express my gratitude for all that you did. You made the learning experience fun, like no other teacher I’ve ever had. Thank you for that. Please take care and be safe. Sincerely, Garry

It totally made my day, for sure!

Yesterday, I looked into vaccination sites and lucked into being able to sign up for a vaccination time at a nearby facility next week. Unfortunately, after successfully getting Tom signed up all the slots were filled when I got back in to it to try and set an appointment for me. :-(   Wish me future luck!

Not working at HR Block this tax season makes me sad, but better safe and healthy during the ever surging pandemic.

The January 6, 2021 insurgence at the Capital was shocking and distressing. Trump's impeachment was long overdue. Will he be convicted?

I hope the inauguration Wednesday goes smoothly and safely. Hooray for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!

I look forward to a zoom visit with the Mays and Nathan on Sunday.

Happy New Year!

 So it's 2021 and we all have our fingers crossed for a better year ahead.

Dancing with the zoomers and playing Jeopardy with my CA family were the evening's highlights.
