Hello to the Bettgers! I am sitting here eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Just got done with a morning of watercolor painting with the kids. It went well; just got the turkeys they painted hung up in the hall for the parents to see. Two more days of conferences and an observation by my AP (asst. principal) to get through before fairing the snow for Wausau on Wednesday morning. Feeling a lot better after a doctor's visit for pinkeye and sinus infection on Sat. What can I say? I am grateful for the days I am well. It was good to see Mom, Dad and Tim this past weekend--their first visit to the cities since Germany!

Bye and love to all! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We sure have a lot to be thankful for!
