Yet, this is a part of the US I will never see and you are so lucky to be able to do what you do. However, you must never cry outdoors!

Laughing with students, and being touched by their circumstances, and sharing, and talking one-on-one, and in class, enjoying the time--all real emotions, nothing fakey about you at all, and that is what inspires them and makes them have a fun time, and a touching time, also. Again, you'll be well remembered...and I mean that as a compliment, not a slam, ha.<BR/><BR/>The photos of the area...wow. Yes, I remember Mary from last year, she will be so touched with the year's worth of tea bag holders and gift. And the river and ice floes and walking on ice. The snow and trees. That meandering shot of the river from above. The plane and your transportation mode of 4Wheeler...this is all just soooo different than what most of us ever see, and you are adventuring it to the max, enjoying yourself there, it's a very special deal that we get to see these posts of yours! Thank you!<BR/><BR/>And just say that your big trusty snow boots, and your heavy suitcases etc are part of your hallowe'en costume! :o)<BR/><BR/>We are very much enjoying the posts and photos, Donna, and all the posters here. It's brilliant!<BR/><BR/>Ta Ra for now,<BR/>Bobbie and LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701589525052893512.post-60266115296044889292008-10-17T00:58:00.000-07:002008-10-17T00:58:00.000-07:00I think maybe it goes without saying now that when...I think maybe it goes without saying now that whenever one of the kids says or does something, it'll cause you to burst into tears :-)<BR/><BR/>'And there was this one little boy who sat at the back of the class and was very quiet and still. The teachers told me it was almost impossible to get him to move, let alone write, but by the end of the class, he had come to life and was picking his nose with the end of his pen. My eyes filled up and the tears were still wet on my cheeks when I left, which meant upon stepping outside they immediately froze solid and one of the teachers had to chip the ice off with a chisel. I was so moved by her gesture that I started crying again. She then started shouting at me to stop because I was freezing up faster than she could chisel it away...'Vincent Holland-Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620266525944160618noreply@blogger.com
