Education Week is Coming!

Well, it's that time of year again...the time of year when I plan what classes I want to take at Education Week at BYU. I pour over the catalog, agonizing over the selections, wanting to take more classes than humanly possible. I come up with a schedule, talk it over with my mom (who, along with my youngest daughter, comes with me), and then we make changes. Again and again and again. Fortunately, we don't have to commit to a schedule ahead of time. We do like to have a plan. We just never stick to the plan. The only thing that is set in stone is we have tickets to a performance by Jenny Oaks Baker on one of the evenings. She will be performing Disney tunes on her violin. How perfect is that?! Oooh, I just got a thought--maybe the sheet music is available, and maybe an extra extra easy version of sheet music is available. I might be inspired to take my violin out of its case and practice!

If you have been to Education Week, who are your favorite speakers? Favorite classes/topics?

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer. She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her. "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall. This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather. I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast. I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs. For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
