All Done!
Tonight Marion made her second appearance on Jeopardy. She came in second in this semi-final match. Unfortunately, that meant that she did not advance to the final. Her family was still very proud of her though. Way to go Wingler!

Powerful Women!
On Saturday morning I joined the participants of the "Women in Action" conference at the Gananoque Inn. This powerful workshop was geared to educate members about how they could develop their leadership potential and increase their involvement in the work of the Federation. The workshops were very relevant, the women inspiring and the setting was relaxed and comfortable. What a magnificent weekend!

Jeopardy Teachers' Tournament!
 |
| Marion Meets Alex! Two Great Canadians! |
Well, this is the week. My niece, Marion Penning, will appear on Jeopardy this Friday night in the Teachers' Tournament. Marion applied on-line about 6 months ago. She was selected for an interview and was then offered a spot on the tournament. She is one of 15 teachers chosen from across the USA to compete for a grand prize of $100, 000. The taping of the show occurred on October 1 and 2 but as a condition of the show Marion was not allowed to tell us how she did. We will all find out tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. Tune in and join the fun! Go "Wingler"!!!!

Pumpkin Carving with My Boy!
Tonight, Adrian and I carved three pumpkins for Hallowe'en. As Adrian put the finishing touches on one of the pumpkins I couldn't help but feel "sappier than a sugar maple"! Next year at this time Adrian will be away at University and I'll be carving on my own. Boo hoo!
