We Had Bunches of Fun

Sadly, we had our last session of summer ESL conversation time on August 5th. We had a great time practicing our English and making new friends. We talked about everything "under the sun" (watch out for those idioms!)
Notice the slideshow. Thanks to the photographers -Mayumi!
Krist and I plan to stay in touch with all of you through email and this blog. Have a super last few weeks of summer!

Quick lesson on sentence diagraming

See, it really is simple!! 

The sentence diagram at the top of the page is from the United States Constitution. It is called The Preamble of the United States Constitution.

perfect Union,establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,

provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare,

and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,

do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States

of America.

I have always loved dolphins! Amazing!

 Watch this video. The dolphins are blowing bubbles. They are doing this naturally. They have not been trained!

Food for Thought

Look at these 2 sayings.  What do they mean?

Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Making New Friends this Summer!

Summer is coming to a close for our conversation meetings at the Perimeter Annex building. I have made some new friends, and I hope that this is the beginning to lasting friendships. I am not a computer person, but I am trying this blog site so that we can continue to talk - any time we want!!!
Please use this site to ask questions, make comments, or say "hi" to all your friends! Most of all, please have fun while practicing your English!

Meet Bella

Bella is my daughter's dog. (Look at photo below.) My daughter can not have pets where she lives, so Bella lives with us! Americans often treat their pets as if they were people! What do you think about that?
