Houston, Texas

We've been in Houston, Texas helping Allison, Nils and Sophia settle into their new place. They are renting a 3 bedroom, 2 story home within walking distance of Nils' new job. We've been busy helping them unpack, and spending time playing with our granddaughter.
Sophia loves having a backyard where she can play in the water. And it's certainly hot enough for that!

Bard on the Beach

Casey and Audrey attended the Mainstage production of Antony and Cleopatra.

Retirement Dinner

Casey and Audrey attended a retirement dinner at the Vancouver Yacht Club hosted by the Vancouver Teachers' Association.

Grouse Grind

Grouse Grind was closed to hikers today so Casey and Richard (a colleague from work) hiked up an adjacent trail. It took us 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Sightseeing in Chicago

Audrey is visiting Allison, Nils and Sophia in Chicago. They spent a gorgeous day strolling around downtown, with lunch at American Girl Place.

Hockey

ND had their annual cancer fund-rasing event last Friday followed by a ball hockey game versus the Vancouver Police. Casey had an assist with the teachers winning 2-1

Old Room New Room

My teaching career at ND began in room 9 next to the office. Lots of action. The Junior Science Room. Not my specialty.
Room 3- Accounting. Had fun playing finger wrestling.
Moved in to the Annex. Room 17. Watched a lot of PE baseball from here.
Room 18. Another Accounting class

Room 16. My first Christian Education 9 class. Former students became good friends.

Room 5. Another Christian Ed 9 class. 27 male students in the smallest classroom in the school - they had to climb over the desks to get to their seat.

Room 1 where it all ended before the renovations started. It was nice to see the lockers removed from the classroom area.

The last classroom before we moved in to the new ND; Room E-01, one of the largest classrooms in the school. Earlier renovations were completed with the addition of the new gym.

Our former staff room.

Personal storage area.

Former mailbox - time to move on.
