I love July! Educator at heart, even though I am not in the classroom anymore, summer is happiness!

God Bless America-all our freedoms, blessings and opportunities.

Daughter Katherine, friend Naomi and I celebrating our Country in our American Flag shirts. Naomi commented that I always wear flag shirts, so I had to buy us matching ones!

May your Independence Day celebrations be happy and safe.

End of May 2012! What exciting days. On Thursday, I ended my teaching career in the classroom. I always said that when our youngest graduated from High School I was going to end my career in the classroom.  I was down to two days per week for this school year, but it is still exciting to move on to new adventures. I am so grateful for my teaching opportunities at Trinity-Edwardsville, IL, St James- Lafayette IN, St. Peter-Immanuel- Milwaukee WI (where I received the opportunity to begin my technology teaching/training), Mt Calvary- Milwaukee, WI, , Northwest- Milwaukee, WI, Concordia University School- Milwaukee, WI. So much support and caring from staff and students at these fine churches/schools.

For the 2012-2013 school year, I will be almost full time, managing the Educational/Informational Technologies for LUMIN Schools. I have been working in this capacity the last few years on a part time basis.

I am looking forward to this new phase in my life.
