A couple of good friends have confirmed that they will be visiting us at the ranch - yé! They will arrive on Boxing day - family of four - so we will be in very good company to celebrate the new year. Looking forward to it!
On the practical front, I have received the 'Roof Bag' for the car and we had the opportunity to try it last week when we went to the cottage. It's very easy to install, it's very sturdy, and it will be absolutely perfect for our Mexican adventure. It was not even filled to half it's capacity, and it allowed us to use the car trunk for instruments. So for the first time ever, we were able to bring a guitar, banjo, mandolin and violin to the cottage - and best of all, the kids had the back seat to themselves for a change!
While at the cottage I studied a great big book of French early childhood repertoire that I purchased last month and found a lot of new songs and activities to add to my program. Many of them can be easily adapted to Spanish, and I also found some traditional South American material - very inspiring. It makes me feel better about teaching in Spanish, I'll be just fine.
This coming week will be busy, I will settle a lot of business details for the fall. All I need is a good 'to do' list, my computer, a phone, and a few days. Voilà!
