Thanksgiving Holiday

I wanted to let you all know that I will be leaving on Tuesday, November 25th to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday with my sons in Charleston, SC. I am so looking forward to seeing them again, and the wonderful sites of Charleston. I just hope I don't have to spend too much time COOKING!

I expect my classes to be as wonderful as they always are with the substitute who will be in for me on Tuesday/Wednesday. I would like to see an awesome report on my desk when I return on Monday, December 1st. I'm sure I will!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with "you and yours....."
