been awhile

Wow I have not blogged since May. Darn much has happened since then. The school year is going quickly. Next week is the end of the 1st quarter doesn't seem possible for that be here already. Our grandchildren are growing like weeds. The grandson started pre-school and he is excited about attending. I hope he remains excited about school. The granddaughter is now 8 months old.

Jane and I are buy the two lots that are next to our place in the country. The one lot is 120' X 120' and the other is 120' X 60'. We did have the chance to buy more but the other lots had a trailor on it. The trailor was not in very good condition. You could see where the floor had rotted out in places. Now since in putting money into a trailor that is 23 years old. It would just be a money pit. We hope that the estate will not sell it to someone that will rent it out to a low life and make meth in it. I guess now our property is shaped like a rectangle instead of Oklahoma. Just more to mow. This might lead to his and hers John Deere mowers. Maybe I can her a pink one.

Jane is having her thyroid removed at the end of October. There is a 25% change it is cancer. All this was caused by her treatments for Hodgekins. She has been remission from that for the last 11 years. So I pray that all will be food for her.

As far as fiesta collecting you will have to our fiesta blog Hunting for Fiesta. I should be putting up some new pictures and stories about fiesta and our hunt. f

YES!!!

Today is the end of the school year. The students leave at 9:00 A.M. today and then the teachers can leave if they have their duties completed. I am all checked out with adminstration and ready to get out of here.

Back

Well back to blogging. The school year is about over. May 27th is the last day for teachers and then if we have our duties finished we can leave shortly after the students leave. For me that will be about 10:00. Then finished for the year "Thank God". This year has been a hard one with a couple of students that have been hard to deal with. Either I am getting older or these kids are getting worse. On the bright side this was my 20th year of teaching.
Jane and I are leaving for vacation on May 28th. We are driving around Lake Michigan. This should be a blast. We are going up the Wisconsin side first as we will visit our daughter that lives in Naperville, Illinois. We have only one place that we know for sure we are staying. We are planning on staying on Machinac Island for two nights. Hope we have good weather and some good antiquing.

Will post pictures after the vacation. Also this last Feburary we became Grandparents for the secound time. This time a grand daughter.

More later.
