Debby,You continue to amaze me with your persistence. I thank you!
May this note find all y'all healthy and happy.It appears winter has arrived here in Tallahassee. We had a real gully washer (6 to 8 in of rain) on Wednesday and now the colder weather has moved in. I'm sure those of you who live much further north are thinking I'm an idiot for commenting on 35 - 50 degree temperatures but.... all things are relative. The first week in November Renae and I, Tara(1st born) and her family went to EPCOT for their Food & Wine Festival. We met Steve Martin and his wife there and had a ball sampling food/wines/beer and other libations from approximately 30 different countries. Some were good, some were just OK, some not so good. But to be able to share the experience with those whom you care for, is just special.Our family traveled to Statesboro GA. for Thanksgiving to be with Renae's extended family. We ate the usual Turkey-Day fare along with some fine southern touches: oyster dressing, sweet potato casserole, butter beans and pecan pie.We will spend Christmas here in Tallahassee with Tara, Perry and the grandkids. Renae's Dad and brother will be joining us as well.Renae has the week after Christmas off. I'm sure we'll find somewhere to go and something to do. I have finished another semester supervising student interns and can happily report that they all survived. Although it was touch and go for a couple of them. The new technologies that have been created for the classroom are amazing. But, teaching still boils down to good communication, classroom management and delivering a well thought out lesson plan. Let's hear it for human interaction! Happy Holidays to and to all a good night.Jack M.
