still on the road, sort of

So I'm not walking anymore, which makes me sad but makes the balls of my feet happy. However my travels are not over. June 12-16 I'll be visiting Quebec City with a friend from Winnipeg. June 24-28 my sister and her family are coming for a visit (from Switzerland) on their way to BC. June 30 to July 19 I'll be in BC visiting family and helping my dear parents-in-law celebrate 50 years of marriage. July 20-27 I'll be in Quebec City again for the convention of the International Federation of French Teachers. It'll be fun to see three dear colleagues again, and to share that week. Then I'll be home, slowly getting back into my work head.

Over the year I've had a bit of contact with some colleagues, and have checked my work e-mail only enough to pass on what needed to be passed on and ignore the rest. It's been very good to get away. I've also missed the thrill of shared learning and interesting conversations with students and colleagues. I'll be ready to go back.
