Every Day Is A New Adventure

Life does have many surprises. Today I learned that I have to retake a real estate exam since the rules changed. This has not happened in the past. I feel like my students now and know how they can get frustrated.

Taught a fun class this afternoon and so it made me happy again in spite of some morning frustrations with both the bank and the education company. Teaching for me is a tranquilizer. I do enjoy it. My class wants to continue so the library will let me know if we can do that in Sept. Time will tell.

New Blogs Rules Can Confuse the Writer

Every time they change the format of my blog, I am not sure what to do. Too many changes seem to confuse everyone.

Today we had nice company. We enjoyed my son and Marty's son as visitors. Nice to share time with both of them. It rained a lot today, but the time went quickly with nice company.

Arthritis Class Today

I was a substitute teacher for the senior center arthritis class today. I added some nursery school jingles to the exercieses. The class seemed to really enjoy good fun. I also had everyone say their name. Some in the class even remembered some of the names. I could not hear all of the names, but it is nice for them to connect.

Fancy Nancy Says: Teaching can be lots of fun. This class is new to me, but who knows, I could have a new career.

Good Guest Speaker In Class

Today I taught my writing class. I invited Mike to be a guest speaker. He talked about writing E-books. He sets up books for electronic publishing. That seems to be the wave of the future. The class enjoyed the talk and I shared an article about the subject from THE WALL ST. JOURNAL. The students seemd to enjoy his presentation.

Fancy Nancy Says: Classes are great for learning about new subjects.

Dental Day

I keep the dentists in business. I have my teeth cleaned every 6 weeks. Today I had an apt. with a new hygienst that I had not used . This was my first and Last apt. with her. She missed her callling. She should be working in a butcher shop. Before the cleaning was done, after painful work, I said: My cleaning is over. I am out of here. I told the dentist that I would never use her again, and even thought the dentist is a former neighbor and good surgeon, I told him she is not for me.

I booked a different gal for an Oct. apt. and if that does not work, I will not use them for cleanings. In Naples I have a wonderful hygienist who does great work with no pain.

Fun company for dinner

Last night we had some lovely friends for dinner. We enjoyed seeing all their pcitures from a trip to Russia. Based on what we saw I will not rush to travel there. Everything looked old. They had some flight delays, so it does not sound like it was their very best trip.

Fancy Nancy Says: Sometimes a tough trip makes you appreciate your nice home.

Time to Start Writing Another Snipetts Book

I have not been doing my one page writing lately, but I think it is time since there is always something fun to share.  For esample, I could write about my new car key that cost $159 not like the old keys that were $3 for a duplicate. Boy have times changed. I have a nice writing group and we all did some in class writing. The results were excellent. Writing and sharing the result is a fun class time.

Fancy Nancy Says: Writing is a wonderful emotionl release. Try it!
