Congratulations to my sister and her husband! Both my sister (Elisabeth) and her husband (Fredrik) are teachers, so the toastmaster made the entire experience to be like a class at school. I was the evening’s teacher of the computer class. ———- If everybody in the class can start their computers, open a web browser, go to Google and search for my name, […] Read more
