Hi Kathleen. Ha ha. I love my job too. Sue and I are also looking into retiring in the next few years. As you know, it's hit the ground running from September to June. These past couple of years teaching during COVID have been challenging for students and teachers. Looking forward to following along on your next trip.
2 years agoOh those Dolomites! We can’t wait to go back. What a fantastic day you had. Loved your comment about the kids. Keith teases me every time we go by a school. I loved my job (Grade Two for me), but in retirement I don’t need to relive it!

Thanks Bill. A beautiful butterfly, but very elusive and hard to shoot. The name seems appropriate as it really did flit around.
