Checking In

 I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I am thinking of you and hoping that you and your families are doing well today.  I know many of you will not see this until power is restored, but my thoughts are still with you and your families! 


About me --  I am now in Florence where I will be staying with family for a few days.  My house had some roof and fence damage, but I am thankful that was all!  Just about 2 miles down the road from my house was complete devestation.  I am definitely thankful today!

Comprehensive Test Tuesday!

Comprehensive Test Tuesday!  Anything in the review folder is fair game!  Don't forget to study! 

Will it be a difficult test?  yes and no

It is ALL review (no new material) but you will have to review the information or it will be difficult to remember what all we have learned about this year!!!

This will be great practice for the ASA on Wednesday!
