I had a teaching degree, so to keep her out of jail, I agreed to oversee her lesson plans. What a change 25 years has made!

She was truly a pioneer.Kristi Hollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480214912307187314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336449467823749252.post-12254318703679002412008-09-04T19:03:00.000-07:002008-09-04T19:03:00.000-07:00Renae, I don't know the origin of terrific, but in...Renae, I don't know the origin of terrific, but in your case, I define it as wonderful, and I'm sure you don't scare people off :)<BR/><BR/>Janet, you can appreciate every advantage with a lovely large family like you have.

It is a bit of work keeping the carnival going, but most of the work is done by the several dozen bloggers who take turns hosting.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336449467823749252.post-78543512785861766932008-09-03T19:33:00.000-07:002008-09-03T19:33:00.000-07:00I think you are SO right!
