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.

Javalinas



This is the book I bought while in Arizona last February. I read it to my Grade 4 class as an example of a take-off on "The Three Little Pigs" and the kids loved it. I highly recommend it as a great story as well as an educational insight into animals living in their own habitat.

I've never even heard of a javelina until you and Dale mentioned it on Frannie's blog. Kinda cute and kinda ugly...reminds me of the warthog in the Lion King "Hakuna Matata"
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

hugs from Willy :)

A teacher's work is never done!! LOL. I had to chuckle..on vacation and still thinking of your students. Great book, I have not read it, but will look for it the next time I am in the bookstore. The bunny caught my eye..and I always try to give gifts and or cards that have bunnies on them.
