About Me

My photo
Delta, British Columbia, Canada
I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

ARIZONA 2006 Part Deux

Okay here we have Suzanne feeding the deer at the Grand Canyon, me playing with a saguaro this time (at night). Suzanne nearly freaked out when I touched the spines - she started screaming "Don't touch them - there's poison in them!" LOL Then here I am thrilled to death to finally see the Grand Canyon (but Man! was it COLD!), then fooling around on the ledge (Vicki - eat your heart out! LOL) and finally Suzanne and I enjoying a wonderful lunch at the 100-year-old lodge at Grand Canyon. (We ended up having to move to another table 'cuz it got too hot for us "hot chicks" by the fireplace.)

More great pictures! Thanks again. None of you look like senior bachelor/bachelorettes! What a good looking group you are!

Hi wanderlust - seems like it is, right? However, it's just to make sure I don't get spam. Some of the other women have it on their blog sites, too, and it really works. Thx for your comments. I don't FEEL like a senior, either! GRIN

Hi Leslie,
Wanted to e-mail you, but could not pull up your address. Any tips on how to do so? I am away from home at my daughter's to take care of her 4 youngsters, the ones I horsed around with over New year. So maybe that is why? Just wOndering,
Ellen

Leslie,
Nice comment on RR's blog about your Health Insurance. In the U.S. it has gone to pot when these non medically trained Insurance Managers took over....was to make INsurance cheaper, but has done anything but that. Meanwhile these managers make millions in salaries. Its' such a shame.

Val the Gal, aka ex-disco dancer, now will not claim "I am not Canadian, never will be" when it comes to accepting these Canadian benefits.

So you booked an Alaskan cruise. Good for you.

The Canadians just placed fourth in ice couple dancing, congrats!
Tangolady used to do this kind of dancing and still judges it. Fun to learn from her...she lives close to my 4 grandchildren, so we've met in person. Another RR induced friendship.

Have an awsome weekend!
Ellen
