I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

I first made these in 2009 but they then contained iclipart images which are allowed in my books but not allowed to share online. I have always planned to renew them but I couldn�t find the original templates so I started again.
