The Adventures of Blogging!

To go where no man (or woman) has gone before! I guess I feel a little bit like James T. Kirk exploring uncharted territory in this vast universe called technology. I feel apprehensive when I begin something new, curious about what lies ahead, and a sense of satisfaction when I have gained some knowledge through my experience. That is the way I feel about my blogging experience so far. I feel like I have only explored the tip of the ice berg and there are plenty more areas to investigate! Hopefully, my discoveries will allow me to do some creative blogging in my classroom this year!

Fun Things To Do In Oregon

At the age of five, my father took me skiing. Actually, I was placed between his legs and was guided down the hill. From there, it was all about snowplows, bending the knees, leaning on the outside ski, etc. My father was a ski patrolman, performing most of his duties at Timberline Lodge in Oregon. Taking advantage of the family free pass, I did most of my skiing at this beautiful and historical site. For over 40 years, I still ski with my father, mostly at Timberline Lodge.


Any time of the year you can catch me at the Oregon Coast. I have has yet to find a coastline more spectacular. My favorite destinations are Bandon, Yachats, and Cannon Beach. Rain or shine, the scenary is awesome!

During the summer months, I enjoy hiking Oregon trails with my husband and our dog, Buddy. A popular site known to world travelers is Silver Falls. Unfortunately, it's popularity makes this location very busy, especially on the weekends. Nonetheless, I like the way these falls show off, particularly in the winter when they are frozen.........very stunning!
