My Students Are The Best

My back has n been improving ever since I woke up last Thursday having injured myself in my sleep. I really wonder what I dreamt about that hurt me so badly.

I laid low all weekend which was easy since Russ was away, but today it was time to get back in the real world.

I had a class at the cute Sarah’s house in Raleigh. Her husband generously carried my giant new folding white board in its handy dandy carrying case down to their basement where we were having class.

As it was a beyond beginner class I brought my beautiful mah Jongg demonstration cards. My back is not quite good enough to walk around and put cards up and take them down off the board for a whole class. So two fabulous students, Louise and Kelly, volunteered, one at a time, to play Vanna White and keep the board up to the minute with the hands were were playing.

It was so helpful to have big visual aids and not for me to have to have my back to the class moving the cards. Kelly said it helped take the pressure off having to come up with the right answer. I hope she still learned as much.

I am so appreciative of the kindness of my students.
