Cleaning Out the Food

Since we are leaving in the morning all the food must go. I gave it to my teacher in an exercise class since my dear neighbor said her freezer was full. Last minute packing and time to relocate.

It is getting cold so Florida weather looks really good. Glad to have finished medical apts. and now we are packed . We look forward to re-entry to the warmer weather.

We will be enroute for several days. Already had a nice student from Florida contact me for a writing lesson. I do love teaching and hearing from my students. Relocating each year is fun.

Fancy Nancy Says: I must be a gypsy at heart. I love to travel and live different places. I always like the place I am in.

Heavy Rain

We are finishing up medical appointments and today Marty and I had three. It was tight, but I was back at the dentist to get an adjustment and then he was due at his doctor and then on to the final apt. It seems as we get older pasting the body parts back together does require more time.

I was lucky to have Marty driving in a heavy rain. He is much more relaxed as a driver. Driving is not my thing. We are packing up to leave for Florida on Saturday, so please all of you keep in touch and let me know your plans.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. Before we know it , the New Year 2012 will be here. What do you want for the New Year?

I want good health for all, and hope for the US that the country can overcome the recession. When the men return from the military, they will need jobs. Our government needs a plan to help get them back to work. We did it before in the 1930"s . We should be ablt to do it again. Time will tell.

Keep in touch, I love to hear your comments.

Fancy Nancy Says: When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Hang in there USA!

Researching Library Degree

Today I met with a Professor in the Library program. Based on my research the cost of the program is very expensive. Perhaps I will audit one course next summer to evalutate the program. Auditing is much cheaper.

I also hope to do more programs for libraries and banks so now is the time to send out some information for future bookings.

I learned that in the college world today most everything is done by computer. Times have changed. I did enjoy meeting with the library professor and she gave me some insight into the program.

When I grow up I will know what I want to be.


Fancy Nancy Says: Never stop learning!

Volunteer Job Ended Today

I volunteer at the Chamber of Commerce on Sundays and I enjoy meeting the folks who come in for information. Today was my last day until the spring when we return to Rhode Island. Based on an overview of the questions, one of the more frequent ones if " Where is the bathroom?" So far the closest one is about two blocks from our location.

I have suggested that it would make good sense to put in a pay toilet like they have in Europe and Canada. Tomorrow there is a meeting for the town. I might attend and make the suggestion. Who knows, they may even listen.

Fancy Nancy Says: It pays to listen to your customers. They know what they want.

Tower Heist

Saw several movies , but the one that was most fun was Tower Heist. It sounds like a takeoff on the Madoff debacle.

I have been doing research on what it takes to become a reference librarian. On Monday I will meet with them. I did not realize how expensice education has become.

Tomorrow is my last day volunteering at the Chamber. It has been a fun job and I hope to do it again in the spring.

Fancy Nancy Says: When I grow up I will know what I want to be. Right now it is fun to investigage new careers. I do love working.

Researching Library Degree

I think I might enjoy being a refernce librarian. I am researching the cost of getting a degree in Library Science. I notice that you can do it online as well. I think it is quite costly like most educational programs. In any case I need more information about the program. It is fun to do the research.

Fancy Nancy Says: There is always a Search in Research. There is much to learn.

Estate Planning

Worikng on estate planning takes time and research. I have been cleaning out old records and updating my accounts so that my kids and I will know what to do if anything happens to me. I think many folks want until a crisis hits and don't plan their estate in advance. This causes extra expense , time , and aggravation.

Fancy Nancy Says: Plan now while you have the ability to think and act and get your estate organized. You are the best one to do that for your family. In the long run they will thank you for making their lives simpler . A crisis is not the time to think about an estate plan. Get professional advice . It is often money well- spent. It is also a tax deduction . Have the bill say, " For estate planning" and you can deduct the expense . " Uncle Sam will help you pay the bill.
