I'm Back!!!

It's been over a year since I abandoned this blog. Perhaps "abandoned" is not the correct word. Let's say the issues of life, including grad school, have usurped my time. I'm happy to say, at this juncture, I am now entering my last semester in the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program with the University of Southern California. Additionally, I have a new granddaughter who is now 17 months-old. This little darling (aka the busybody) has occupied the majority of my time for the past year because my daughter, her mom, has been on deployment in Afghanistan. Hubby and I have been her caregivers. By the way, if there are any typos in this post, let's blame her. She is presently in my lap insisting she "help" me type. Finally, last semester I started teaching developmental writing at a local community college. It was a wonderful opportunity, and I look forward to continuing this semester.
