Blog Birthday

My blog is one year old today!

I am going to make this short and sweet, as I've been busy and it isn't letting up. We had our first lamb of the year this morning! He's beautiful - white with brown spots. Cornflower is his mother. I still haven't put the software on this computer to handle pictures (I want to reformat first - I have this feeling that I'm using somebody else's computer). In the mean time, here's Cornflower's picture with her lamb from last year.


I promise I will start doing pictures again very soon.

Sorry to blog and run, but I have to go to class in 15 minutes, and after that I am going to the second annual Fibre Outlaws Winter Retreat, and will be away until Saturday night. Retreats are fun - at this one we camp out in the USU building in Roosevelt, and as you might expect, we spin and knit and have fiber classes, ....

My classes this semester are really fun so far. The part I like the best is that there are other students in the classes. Last fall I missed out on the interaction with other class members, since there weren't any that attended classes with me. The linguistic classes are offered here for the benefit of teachers working on their ESL endorsement, and the school district really knows how to do it. Yesterday's class included an hour of working on the internet, which was fun, and dinner. They brought Mexican, Chinese, and Greek food since it is a class about cultures. They even provided quarters for the pop machine!!! Wow, I'm impressed! And I get to do a presentation (it's a group effort actually) to the class on Norwegian culture in a few weeks. Cool, that gives me a terrific excuse to buy books about Norwegian culture! My group also wants to interview some Norwegians about their culture and general outlook on life, so if you are Norwegian and would like to talk to us (by e-mail) I'd love to hear from you. I have two volunteers already from the Norskklassen e-mail list.
