February 1: TEACHING ACTUALLY BEGINS!!
For those of you who check this site before Christmas, Rick and I want to wish you a wonderful relaxing holiday and see you all in person again in 2011! Until then, as the Irish Blessing sings so beautifully, here is our Christmas wish for you:
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again -
Until we meet again -
May the God who loves us all-
May the God who loves us all -
May the God who loves us all
Hold you in the palm of His hand
In the palm of His hand -
In His hand.
God bless,
Karin and Rick
