Check out the Possibilities

A fortune in my Dove chocolate candy today said...Do not look back and ask why, look forward and ask, why not. I'm a firm believer in continuing education despite my mom's insistence until her death that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I believe you can, if the old dog wants to learn.


Before we retired, I organized a community education program called Horizons for Utah State University's branch campuses in Roosevelt and Vernal. I decided to have classes on everything I'd ever wanted to try, such as: stained glass, beading-making jewelry, pottery, weaving, basketmaking, spinning wool, guitar, photography, computers, woodworking projects, mexican and french cooking, social and line dancing, rock art, upholstery, wood carving, webpage making, photoshop, family history research and many other subjects. So I took all the classes and found some new hobbies to pursue. Found out I like photography, family history, scrapbooking and writing best. (See a display of my completed projects above.) You can't do all these hobbies,  but you need to try new ones to see if one catches your interest.

Tell us what interests you would like to develop or what classes you'd like to take if you could:
