Happy New Year

Where did the time go? October, November, December? When we got back from Thanksgiving, Ithink there was one week and then finals. In college, time just flies - even more than when I taught in public education.

I had a very nice Christmas with my family and now my husband and I are going to Aruba for a few days for rest, relaxation, and warm temperatures! I've been working on my syllabi for the new semester.

I'll keep you posted - but we're planning on having an author come to campus in March. We've been talking with an Illinois author. Our plan is to have a children's author come to campus every year for a day.

We had a big book fair in December for 2 days. We need to improve advertising (signs), but we sold lots of new books inexpensively. Teachers came and bought gifts for their students. My Children's Literature and LA/SS students helped set up and sell those days. They were great!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
