Bio
Having a wonderful daughter and son-in-law who have graciously invited me to share their life in France, has enabled me to embark on a year of discovery. It is indeed an opportunity and dream of a lifetime. Never having set foot outside my homeland, the United States, until I was in my 60's, I am a little late in some respects. However, the benefit is that I have a lifetime of experience with which to filter this new knowledge. As a retired middle and high school principal, much of my focus will naturally be on children and learning.
I have reached the stage in life that fits the description of U3A (University of the 3rd Age), an organization I just joined for this region in France. It means “people who are no longer in full time employment having the opportunity to learn and to help others to learn.” I am promising myself that I will never stop learning and I will use my thoughts and reflections to enhance this learning. Hence this blog which will serve as my reservoir. My goal is not to be profound, just to record life as I am seeing it in this moment. I am open to learning new ways of doing things, seeing the world in a new light, listening to the opinions and expertise of others, partaking of new experiences, doing and eating things I don't like (and do like), making a fool of myself, pushing the envelope (up to a limit), you get the picture.
My thanks to my daughter, Avery, for introducing me to blogging and this my first blog.
