Hi Hap,

-> problems.  Steve was talking to a doctor yesterday about the foot; this
-> one said that putting a plate in is very often the only way to go with
-> the kind of fracture I have.  It should have been done after the CT scan
-> in May showed the new fracture--but that's 20/20 hindsight now.

 hn> Remember that it that doctors opinion and "very often" isn't "every
 hn> time". Hopefully though a good program will have you back up to
 hn> dancing speed in short order!


Well, the CT scan is scheduled for Now.7 and a follow up visit to the
doctor is on the calendar for the 14th.  The resolution to it all should
be pretty well established at that visit.

-> -> A guest room, separate family and living rooms, dining room and utility

->  hn> That's LOTS of vacuuming (grin)!

-> Yes, the upstairs is just about all carpeted but mostly wood flooring
-> downstairs.  I'm trying to talk Steve into letting me get another
-> vaccuum so I can keep one on each level.  The one I have now is 20 some

 hn> Look on craigslist.org for one! You'd be amazed at how much GOOD stuff
 hn> is saved from the landfills by craigslist...let me check and see if
 hn> there is one for
 hn> the savannah area

 hn> http://savannah.craigslist.org/

 hn> Yep there is one! But it doesn't look very active...the one here in
 hn> Seattle is VERY active!


We've not done that yet but may be worth considering.  Some times, the
older stuff is much better, as is the case with my vaccuum.  The only
major drawback to its age is that bags are harder to find but its heavy
duty metal vs cheap plastic and uses a bag (better for me than bagless).


-> We'll be here thru spring of 09 so that gives you a bit of time to think
-> about it.

 hn> I'll probably be back there before then for sure!


And by then we should have some favorite "haunts" around here that we
can take you to.  Went back to Uncle Bubba's on Saturday ofr Steve's
birthday but I had such a migraine I brought most of my food home. The
scallops reheated without toughening up!  But, while there, I had a nice
thick spicy cup of seafood gumbo--with a scallop that was the size of a
half dollar or so in it!


-> Most likely. (G)  We got in for free in 95 with the government shut down

 hn> We spent a day and a half, but I'd like to spend more time and do some
 hn> trekking to some of the less popular areas of the park as
 hn> well....photography y'know (grin)


Yes, you could shoot for days and get a lot of great shots out there. I
understand completly.

-> But a good teacher can make it look so easy!  Rachel hadn't really
-> thought too much about teaching until after she finished her AA degree.
-> Then, the City of Charleston College only had openings in the el ed dept

 hn> Anne had to be talked into it! Her first degree was in Animal
 hn> Laboratory science (she worked in a major medical research facility),
 hn> and after Amanda was born she stayed home with her....then when Amanda
 hn> went to school..so did we (grin). Anne was so good that she became
 hn> does it...I could never do it! She has mentored two student teachers

Interesting how those that never consider teaching end up being some of
the best teachers in the long run.  I've done somebut if I were to go
into it, I'd have to learn some instructional methods better than what I
do now.



 hn> and both of them got hired immediately as well. She's on a couple of
 hn> advisory boards for the program where she got her AA as well....What
 hn> I'd like to see is for her to get her phd and teach at the University
 hn> where she got her
 hn> bachelors and masters..she'd be a great teacher for teachers....but
 hn> she loves being in the classroom with the kids too much at this point

Well, kids need good teachers in the early years to keep them interested
in learning and carrying on in the educational field.  The early years,
and the instructional years (learning how to teach) are probably the
most critical for becoming a good teacher.  Ann obviously enjoys the
first phase.
