Pat Benatar was fabulous and she still looked the same, except for her hair color. The venue was a blues club in Dallas and it was so nice. I have heard of BB King too but never seen a concert.

I'll be looking for your swimsuit picture in the studio. Your doing so good!

Was the venue in Deep Ellum? Your posts make homesick! :cry:

Chynna, I hope you have a wonderful time while on your cruise. It is too bad that your friend isn't able to go with you--but it is nice that your husband is able to go, romantic time instead of girlfriend giggling time.

OH!! I keep meaning to ask, but always forgetting (old timers' brain)........you said you were a college professor for quite a few years but you never mentioned what subject or subjects you taught. What kind of a college (thinking community or university or vocational)? I find the whole idea of college teaching interesting. Needing to be smarter than all those young clever minds who are coming to be taught. The idea is intimidating as all get out to me! :lol:

Heyyy Mzz T...YEP i taught at Albany State University for 22 years and would STILL be there had it not been for my stroke in 1997..it was BAD but with endless months of rehab i was able to pretty much come to full circle as far as daily living is concerned PTL.

I taught courses in the Reading & Counseling Psychology Departments. These particular courses were especially geared to incoming Freshman that had skill deficits in the area of reading, critcal thinking, test takiing, managing college life etc., and needed a bit of remediation. It's such a pity that these kids somehow managed to slip through the cracks to graduating from high school WITHOUT being FULLY equipped with the foundation needed to SUCCESSFULLY handle a four year college curriculum...some came to my classes with a reading level of 4.0 (fourth grade)...i DO hope i made an impressionable impact on there lives. I do miss teaching but am throughly enjoying being retired:+) Are you considering becoming a college instructor?...gosh you'd think i was writing a thesis here just to answer a simple question...LOL!

Take care of you:+)

Well i had a few minutes while the conditioner is in my hair to shoot over and see what's going on..not long now before i'll be basking on'a beach turning into a lobster...lol!

Ok, got'a go rinse now...maybe be back later! O, got'a go wish the birthday girl a happy birthday first!!

Love,
Chynna

Me, a teacher of college students? Nah, I'm not smart enough to feel that I could teach anyone anything.

I went back to school once, started a new profession but now am a hausfrau and enjoy it enough that I'll probably just do this job until I am planted. :roll:

It was just a question I thought of when you first mentioned that you were a college professor and never remembered to ask when I was posting in your journal.

The stroke must have been devastating in how much work it was to recover and then to not be able to go back to being an instructor. Big life changes........but it is wonderful that you, like myself, enjoy being a homemaker and taking care of our spouses.

CHI, It's an honor to have a friend who's a brilliant, long-time college professor.
I'm so sorry a stroke stopped your career, but you came bravely through your ordeal a much stronger human being.
I knew there was something special about you! I'd love some day to meet you.
Meantime, you must take care of yourself for Lucian and Errin, and this trip should really be a blessing to you.
Love you the most, CHI. :heart:

Glad you are back and you did well.
As for the pics, they appear to look good, but I would send them to unca and see if he can get them to come out a bit more clear.
