I teach 2nd grade and tomorrow is the last day of school for the kids. I work 3 more days after that, and then it is break time. It's weird to think that when school starts back, my Aaron will be in Great Lakes. He graduated last Friday night. What a nice way to end high school! The ceremony was lovely. Thankfully, the speakers spoke quickly, without the tedious blah, blah, blahs that usually make up graduation ceremonies. We are in Central Florida, and the graduations are held in the…

My daughter left for boot camp today. She is going to try for Air Rescue swimmer. Anyone have a son or daughter in this field or getting ready to go there from Boot Camp? She said her schooling will be in Pensacola. She will be testing out for this during boot camp. Had to take a nonsense job until she could do the testing.

Starting a dinner group is terribly complicated (NOT!)

(1) Pick the day and ONE restaurant.  Mondays are ususally slow.  I picked Olive Garden because almost everyone likes Italian & it's reasonably priced.  Pick a place that's easy to find.

(2) Put the first nine dinners on the Event Calendar & keep at least 6 out there afterwards.  Fill in ALL the blanks & add a map link (GoogleMaps is built in).

(3) POST, POST, & POST. Talk it up.  Use an…

That's what I called her. She always started out with:

"Please fasten your seatbelts."

Very polite.

If I messed up and made a wrong turn, she never yelled at me, just said, "Recalculating."

In spite of the few times I got exasperated with her and said, "Where the heck ARE you taking me?"

Couldn't have done without her and had a moment of panic when I LOST her in a tunnel. Took awhile to get her back!
