My family says its not really a vacation until someone asks Mari for directions. Doesn't matter where I am, but I always get asked, and to the surprise of my family, I can always respond! Like Pat, I want to hear more about the Chinese Checker Marble Caper!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791355550541176497.post-71016694368028426812009-01-05T09:10:00.000-05:002009-01-05T09:10:00.000-05:00I've always encouraged my students to do that.

Action plans, with goals, were exactly what they were, regardless of what we called them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791355550541176497.post-27681895428894243782009-01-04T12:51:00.000-05:002009-01-04T12:51:00.000-05:00I hope you write more about this Chinese Checker M...I hope you write more about this Chinese Checker Marble Caper!

I also have a set time to walk on the treadmill each morning and then hubby and I walk an hour each day in the park. As for diet sodas, they are filled with sodium which makes me retain lots of water. I have trouble drinking water in places away from home so I drink lots of diet pepsi. When I stop drinking them, I can lose some pounds. Good luck with your goals! I'm cheering for you!loonyhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378360383088143368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791355550541176497.post-86836137078826951892008-11-04T23:35:00.000-05:002008-11-04T23:35:00.000-05:00Thank you for your comment.

Writing regularly helps us stop and appreciate the world around us. Today, historic presidential elections, devastating weather conditions, and preparing for the first day of school. Tomorrow brings new events, challenges, and memories that pass before as a fleeting moment if we don't pause to capture them. By writing about what we experience, we create a connection that allows us to revisit yesterday's moments. We gain perspective of our world and perhaps more importantly, of ourselves.Curtis Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856413059476072743noreply@blogger.com
