Willow Arbour: January 2006

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 30, 2006. I spent a great deal of time this weekend marking exams and assignments. Although it is tedious work, there are always moments of humour. One of my boys wrote about his aspirations for the future. Being only 13 years old, these are many and varied. The list included things like fireman, engineer, millionaire, and so on. However, in spite of a definite yearning for great wealth, he generously stated, "I want to help pool people.". He meant, of course, "poor people.". The Canadian...

Willow Arbour: Moonlight Paddle

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2007/11/moonlight-paddle.html

Friday, November 23, 2007. I have to write this while it is fresh in my mind. Earlier today I discovered that a group from the canoe club were going for a moonlight paddle in a voyageur canoe this evening. So, I decided to join them. We paddled upstream into the moon, which was surrounded by an enormous ring. It was almost as though we were paddling right into the moon. We continued up to West Creek, just east of Fort Langley, then went up the creek -. Keep up the good work. View my complete profile.

Willow Arbour: July 2007

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 15, 2007. We finally hosed down the garden furniture, and spent a lot of time in the shade trying to stay cool. Thankfully, the temperature had moderated from the high 30's celcius to the high 20's by dragon boat practice on Thursday evening! I really hate the yucca plants at the front of our house. I have to wear body armer to prune them back, as the leaf edges are like knife blades. However, right now they are in bloom, and the flower stalks really are showy. I'd like to see mo...On Wednes...

Willow Arbour: December 2005

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 30, 2005. Almost a New Year. Since this seems to be a good way to keep our friends and family up to date on our lives, we decided to set up this blog site. Thank you to Patricia and Chris for introducing us to blogging. Although two weeks of Christmas holidays seems very short to me (Andrea), it is truly a blessing and joy to be teaching at Pacific Academy. I value the quirks and quarks of each student, and am collecting mispronunciations along the way. People to their weddings.".

Willow Arbour: August 2007

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 19, 2007. It is so hard to believe that three weeks of the four week summer school program have already passed! Each field trip challenges the students' English in new ways, and gives me insight into their personalities and how they will fit into the International program for the coming school year. The week before last began with a trip to Grouse Mountain and ended with an evening watching the BC Lions play the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Grouse Mountain was. wet! It was very close, although t...

Willow Arbour: October and Part of November, or What have I NOT done?

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2007/11/october-and-part-of-november-or-what.html

Monday, November 19, 2007. October and Part of November, or What have I NOT done? The 1st Term has flown by. It is hard to believe that school started 2 1/2 months ago, and that Christmas break is just over a month away! I was the [very bad] goalie for one of the teams. The first morning in Whistler was spent exploring the rain forest with Tree Trek Adventures. We were bussed to the forest, then spent an hour and half walking up and down stairs, over board walks and across suspension bridges. Our...We st...

Willow Arbour: Merry Christmas!

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2007/12/merry-christmas.html

Saturday, December 15, 2007. Well, it is December 16 and I am woefully behind in the Christmas card department. This is my "stop-gap" measure, as well as my "in lieu of a Christmas letter" attempt. Paul and I do wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Mom Mills arrived on Friday, and will stay with us until December 28. We are enjoying her visit, but so far haven't done anything too exciting! It was very professional; there was a full orchestra and the sets were exceptional. Paul and I will enjoy having a ...

Willow Arbour: June 2006

http://willowarbour.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 14, 2006. In March, I flew to Alberta to spend a week at the farm doing as much nothing as is humanly possible. I had two weeks off for Spring Break, and decided that if Paul could fend for himself, this would be a wise way for me to spend part of it. Not having a "real" break at Christmas took its toll on my health and it was so good to just be home. Never have I felt so safe in the air! And thankfully Mom had a safe and uneventful trip home again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
