Cape Town

We went this weekend to Cape Town to help Serge celebrate his 30th birthday. We stayed with Serge, Claudia, and Cole - along with their animals (dog and 2 cats). We had lots of fun. The one picture is of Mark and me at the play area where they take their dog to run around. On Saturday we went around the Cape winelands and did some wine tasting. Mark was our designated driver :-) That night Serge had a few friends over for dinner. On Sunday we went for brunch on the coast and ended the meal up with some pancakes. We went and got Cole from Claudia's mom and drove to Chapman's peak (which was closed) so we went to World of Birds. It was great...The little monkeys were precious.

the joys of no internet at home...

Well, this week has seen no internet at our house. The server was running very slow, so Mark called Telkom to complain. An hour or so later they called back to say that they were about to fix it... well the next thing you know there is no internet! So until everything is fixed - hopefully soon - no internet for our house. At least not for me...Mark can put a line into his computer, but it doesn't seem to like my computer! :-(

Not much has been going on except school and exams. The 10th graders take their last Math Exam today. That will be nice because once we grade these exams, that is one grade that I don't have to look at again! According to the head of the Math Department I will probably only teach 8th & 9th graders next year (yea!!!) She asked if it was ok to have 10th graders again next year. I said that I would rather have 3 8th grade classes and 2 9th grade classes if possible - I've really pushed myself this year dealing with 10th graders. No offense to any 10th graders, but my passion really is elementary school so 8th & 9th grade is still pushing it a little. I have enjoyed this year, though. Don't know that I would want to go back to 1st grade, but I may look at 3rd, 4th, or 5th sometime...

Hope everyone is having a great week. It has been horribly rainy and overcast this week, so I've actually been back in some of my fall outfits this week. Love to all!

She loves me...

Not much is happening around here the last few weeks, so I keep putting things up with pics of Cinnamon. Well, if we come upstairs to watch tv I will lay down on the floor when the show is finished before we go downstairs. Cinnamon always comes and puts her head on my stomach/chest. Isn't she sweet? There is no doubt that this puppy loves her mommy!
