I chose the picture of the Eiffel Tower (making sure I was spelling "eiffel" correctly :) )

Have you seen the Eiffel Tower? I couldn't believe it was so big, or gigantic would be a better word. Coming from the plains, I had seen big oil derricks, or even the towers at oil refineries, so that was my assumption about the Eiffel Tower. What was amazing to me was that there was a large parking lot between the "legs" of the tower.

Our daughter had a Frence pen pal....and her parents owned a little bistro a block or two from the Eiffel Tower. They lived "above the store." But she had never gone to the top of the tower, even though she told us she could see the lights from her bedroom window.

7 1/2 Habits of Life Long Learners

I enjoyed learning about the 7 1/2 habits of life-long learners. The most difficult of the habits is probably the one on using technology....sometimes technology baffles me, though if it is explained in easy steps, such as setting up a blog, it is simple and doable.

People learn in different ways--this I've really noticed as I've taught the surf'n for seniors classes. Some will jump in enthusiastically and embrace every new thing; others are so hesitant and will not try something unless we go over and over it with them.

I always hope I am like Alex, one woman in the last class, who was the class cheerleader, always encouraging, enthusiastic, and willing to try something new, and loving learning new things, too.
