Meet Heather and Jane
Bonjour...Je m’appelle Heather et je suis à la retraite après 33 ans as an elementary teacher and reading specialist in Missouri and Michigan. I am a passionate gardener and believe there is always room for one more plant! I am an avid reader, enjoy cooking/baking, traveling, antiquing and resale shopping. I found my father’s high school French book when I was in third grade and waited patiently, with help from my parents who supported my interest, until ninth grade when I could finally take my first class. Later, I studied in Paris for a semester while majoring in French, then was fortunate to go back eight years later to work in the business office at the American College in Paris, now the American University of Paris. I have not had an opportunity to return to France since and am very excited to be going on this trip.
Salut! Je suis Jane. I was an elementary classroom teacher in East Detroit. I taught grades 1-6. The last years of my career I taught fifth grade. Since retiring, I've been able to travel. I am looking forward to our trip to France. I'm especially interested in visiting Mont St. Michael and Normandy.
Heather, I am a plant lover too! Actually, I have 27 fruit trees in my yard if that qualifies for "plants"! I too love to read. You are way way ahead of me in the French department though and I have not made the time to get myself up to speed. I envy you your experience. See you Monday! Jan
ReplyDeleteJane, I am totally looking forward to seeing Mont St Michael as well as Normandy. I come from family with a big military background. I have been watching WWII movies and trying to brush up on my history. I look forward to getting to these marvelous places.....Jan
