Finishing the Master

On Sept. 12, I told you we, actually Arne, had painted our bedroom. A couple weeks ago I found curtains at BB&B that we really liked so had to order them in the length we wanted. They arrived yesterday, less than an hour before my MahJongg ladies. I did get the corner windows pressed and hung before they got here and showed the end result. You can see for yourself in these photos, which really don't catch the true color...

Last week I began teaching ESL classes again. Right now I'm teaching on Tuesday AND Thursday mornings. They didn't like the Tuesday teacher so I'm teaching both days while the search goes on for another teacher to take one of the days. I started with three ladies and got two more today. Since the trailer where we meet is small, we don't have room for but maybe one more. They are nice ladies and are trying hard to learn English. I've signed up for a Spanish class starting in November at the Lifelong Learning College. I figure it will help me appreciate what they are going through trying to learn another language.

I played pickleball with the "non-beginners" yesterday and see I need lots of practice. It's possible to play pickleball every day here in The Villages as there's open play at every rec center from 7-10 AM and some days even more hours for open play.
