Ending on a high

Term 2 is over and it is with optimism that Chris & I head off on our hiking adventure and two week holiday before Term 3 begins. There are some things to be positive about:

-We successfully raised our puppies and have sent them off into their new lives.

-Namibia is desert and while everything else is dying, it is also blooming. It is dry but smells wonderful because the trees have decided to give it a go as the temperatures start to climb and have attracted us, birds and bees to the area. It's lovely.

-Exam results are finished and I optimistically look at my learner's grades and think--"You know, I think they are improving" which is an encouraging thought.

-I had two very cute learners who when asked to write about "the most important person in their life" wrote about me. Sure, maybe its sucking up a bit, but it is always nice to see yourself praised on paper with things like, "Even though she is of white complexion, she likes black people" :), and "if there is a problem, I ask Ms. Faught and she always solves it quickly".

We are happy and healthy, and we hope you are too! Off we go to September!
