Good news for me!

My teaching buddy from school is coming back. I am glad. She took off the year to have her beautiful little girl and she will be back next year. I am sad for her that it didn't work out for her to stay home, but my true feeling is "YEAH!"
I don't know if that was mean, but I do know it was selfish. ;-)

To Text or Not To Text

I am all about saving a couple of bucks. I canceled my texting plan and signed up for a free service. Now, I don't seem to be able to text at all. So, I guess I am now textless. Perhaps I need to ask an expert (one of my children) to figure out my phone.

I am excited to say Girls Night Out is under way. We are now on the calendar... May 22nd! Our theme is Wok With Us! We will have a fun Chinese filled evening. I am in the process of finding some good Sumo Wrestlers. Now won't that be a sight to see! Any volunteers? Nominations?

He Is In!!

"Congratulations! The music committee has approved your admission into the music department as a music major."

Wow! Those are the words Tyler has been waiting to hear!

He auditioned Saturday. He sang a theater song and then a classical song in a foreign language. He has been practicing and pushed himself in a whole new direction. Singing an opera sounding piece in Italian was a hugh challenge, but he did good!

I am so happy for him - not to mention proud!

A Great Pair of Shoes

There is nothing like finding the perfect pair of shoes. Ones that make you smile! The pair that you just can't walk out of the store without. Well, today was that day for me.

Hot Pink!

They are amazing! :-) I am happy!

4 Little Ice Cubes

The nieces came over tonight. They had a great time swimming and playing together. The water was sooooooo cold! When they finally got out, they huddled together to try to get warm. Can ice cubes huddle together and warm each other up? They thought so! ;-)

To Shade or Not To Shade

That is the question. We came to the conclusion that "Not To Shade" was our answer.

Don't get me wrong - I love the shade, but sometimes it comes with a price. Our shade cost us a pool pump, a drain field, and our drive way needs repair from the cracks created by the roots. Over the years we have talked about cutting them down. And we finally did it. Well, when I say we, I mean they...
As Steve says, "I don't go to your kindergarten class and teach your students. Let me do my job and you do yours." Sounds like good advice to me.

It has been a little over a week now and I can tell a difference. There isn't as much "stuff" in the pool. I like it!


I didn't realize how big those trees were until they were on the ground!


It was especially nice that so many people helped get them down. Thanks to all of ya!
