Who am I?

Who am I?

That’s a question I’ve asked myself many times since I retired in 2010.

I wore many hats in my years before retirement. I’ve been a student, a secretary, a bookkeeper, purchasing agent, insurance agent, music teacher, classical guitarist, elementary school and college teacher. I’ve worked in at an industrial supplies distributor, an insurance and bonding company, a tropical fish store, a RV trailer sales store. I’ve taught music in a private K-8 school, armed with a guitar and an associates’ degree. I’ve taught 1^st, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grades in Alachua County, Florida, public elementary schools, as well as being a Curriculum Resource Teacher. I’ve taught teacher education classes at St. Leo University. I’ve taught Responsive Classroom strategies in five states. All of these in addition to the most important hats – that of wife and mother.

I am now on one of the greatest adventures of my life. Retirement. I am again wearing many hats – guitarist, traveler, museum docent, writer, substitute teacher.

Because of all these hats, my interests are numerous and varied. My posts will be wide-ranging. I’ll try to keep the rants to a minimum.

Hang on. It’s going to be a wild ride!
