    "RU, I was nominated for state teacher of the year for 3 different districts. My thesis topic always blasted the state tests and the passing or failing of these to determine promotion. It just devastated me that seniors never knew if they really graduated until a second or third attempt at a test that no longer tested basic skills. I agree with the national tests -standardized with education across the country. Too many kids got through high school and had to take remedial courses due to low SAT or ACT scores. Teaching really lost its moments of inspiration due to this required testing."

    "Hi CJ, OK, just figured out the follow, stop follow thing. I will get the hang of this. If we have specific bloggers that we like to keep up with, will the follow me make that easier, or will the scroll down still be the course to take each day? Just wondering. "

Information

Bio

Obviously a grandmother! My children are blessing me each year with additions to the family. I have one grandson who is seven and two granddaughters on the way. My hub keeps working so I can spoil the grands. We are a Christian family, and we cover a lot of life with prayer. My husband is an avid hunter and I am an avid fisherwoman. My life has been full, and if the Lord took me tonight, I would be just as happy to observe from heaven.I am a staunch Republican, but have voted on the Democratic ticket a time or two. My hub and I are on the final 5 toward retirement. Our parents are getting frail, and it is driving us crazy trying to keep them safe. We have become suburbanites, and that makes moving home to be closer really an impossibility. I am a true scrapbooker and really enjoy the deja vu it creates. I am truly sentimental as is my husband. Needless to say there is a lot of stuff around our home that really needs to go.
