Cyber Seniors VII

It's hard to believe that this was my 7th class at the Senior Center! Lois (nope, not me!) and Gordon are pictured above. Mollie was unable to be at the last class, and Donna came for the first three classes but couldn't finish because she had some family responsibilities to tend to. This group was kind of unique because they all had some experience. They were like ducks taking to water! I really, really enjoyed working with them. And...they went together and got me a beautiful white poinsettia! So gorgeous! Thanks again!

Cyber Seniors VI

Another successful class! Linda, Donna, Carolyn and Helen...Cyber Stars! Jackie and Shirley were also great students but were unable to finish due to medical reasons. I love my seniors!

Sanibel Island, Florida

July 2, 2010 saw us zooming through the skies to Sanibel Island, across the causeway from Fort Myers. Wow! What a vacation! If you like shelling, Sanibel is the place to go. We had a great time. There were nine of us and a five week old baby in a two bedroom condo...Jim and I, Karen and Tom, Abby, Mike and little Carter, Bobby, Amy and Will. It was a great week!

Cyber Seniors V

My May/June class...Bobbie, Shirley, Betty, Sandra and Maxine. What a group! We had so much fun and they learned so much. Totally enjoyed them!

Cyber Seniors IV

Each class gets better and better! And, more enjoyable! Retha, Dorothy, Donna, Margaret and Bobbie were terrific students. Dorothy took the class for the second time because she wanted to get more understanding. She has really been doing well. She's even on Facebook now!

Cyber Seniors III

This was the longest class so far! The 6 week course took us 9 weeks because of the bad winter. Pictured are the proud graduates: Howard, Regan, Mary, and Dorothy. Patti was unavailable for the picture. Unfortunately, Mary passed away on Sunday, April 18. She will be missed.
