Yesterday morning I had a meeting in Florida so I arranged with my friend Elly (who I met in the bank many years ago) to have an early morning cup of coffee with her at her school ... Last year Elly decided to open a Private Primary School ~ Kersten College ~ in Florida. When I visited her late last year it was a very quiet and sedate place as she only had about 5 children and 1 teacher at the time and ended the year with around 10 children. Through absolute hard work, determination and persistence she has started this year with 75 children and 5 teachers. I am immensely proud of her and know that with her dedication to education that this little school is going to grow and grow.

I then popped round the corner to my Florida Branch and did discussions with 3 staff members and then the long drive back to my office. I left the office at 3 and went through to Illovo Branch to have another discussion with a staff member and then popped into Thrupps where I got Connor his favourite Frosties Root Beer. I was totally surprised at how good the traffic was. We spent a quiet evening and went to bed early.
This morning I am rushing to take Connor to school and then off to the office for my performance review. Richard is flying to Durban this morning and I was going to take him to the airport only to realise yesterday afternoon that that would leave Connor without a lift to school ... what a bad mother I am!!!!
Have a great day and see you in blogland later.
