Cuteness abounds!

How could I not mention the latest group photo of the "magnificent seven"--seriously, could there possibly ever be a cuter group of kids? Of course not!! This is our third annual June photo of the grandkids in grandma and grandpa's back yard. We will try again as soon as possible in hopes of getting the two newest little ones to smile for the camera!!

Now, I'm really back!

OK, I lied--I wasn't really back, it was just a teaser. For the past month, I have had an excuse, I have no internet. The good news about that is, we are going wireless--sometime in the next month anyway. And I am getting a new computer for me--a laptop, and we are getting a new desktop as well. A great time to go wireless-no? yes? For the time being, I am at the library. I had to come and do my online banking and get a confirmation for our trip to Seattle next week. Thank goodness for the public library--thank you, wasn't it, Ben Franklin? Whomever--thanks. So much has happened since my last post--for one, Sarah and I are moving to Kindergarten next year. And we are so happy about that. Also, we are on summer break--which is the number three reason I love teaching. Number one is the kids, the job itself and working with Sarah, number two is the money, little though it is, and third, the lovely, long summer. I went to my class reunion in June--that will be another post. We just returned from a road trip to Kansas and Oklahoma--that's another post too. This week, I am driving to San Deigo to stay in a timeshare--by myself--I can't wait!! Lonnie will join me for the weekend. I see some serious reading by the pool in my near future. And lots of Mexican food--my favorite, and Lonnie doesn't really care for it. Plus some long walks, and maybe even a workout or two in the gym, assuming they have one. Maybe I'll just settle for the lounge chair by the pool and a nice cool drink!! Tata for now!
