Julee- Thanks for stopping by, yea, that’s a problem when we get older, we become fearful. I have been skiing for over 25 years and I am still scared. I just take lessons to give my family a break from waiting for me.
I taught for awhile and HS kids love white boards- the best invention. We used to play games to study for quizzes.
It is nice having so may resources available through the internet.
