Where Did June Go?????

May 28 - June 12 I was in water soaked Iowa.....2 feet higher than the Century Flood of 1993!! I certainly enjoyed seeing family and friends. Thank God for Janice, Dee and Lynne--they give me such good perspective and accept me for who I am becoming. The pull out sofa is NOT missed, but it was good to see family.

Upon my return, a long time friend flew in from California and stayed 3 days with me before moving on to see her parents. Her father suffers from Alzheimzers and my Dad has Dementia, many of the same difficulties. I learned a lot from her and it was good to catch up. The last time we had seen each other was in 2004. I love that kind of friendship that can be kept over time...even without continual contact.

In Iowa, Molly called and said that Summer School had been set forward a week and could she come home to Colorado.....SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK TWICE!! Book it, kiddo. She was home from June 17 - June 29th. Before there was no way that she could have come, so this was such a blessing that all of us enjoyed -- 11 days. Just 'time down' and time with Emily and Giles....Physics 2 lie ahead over the next 4 weeks. The 2012 class will come into the school on July 10th. Molly turns 21 on that day, but will keep the birthday quiet so that others don't bug her that day. It is safer! LOL!

I am sitting up a schedule for myself. I am taking a 3 hour computer course so will work on that from 9-1, take a 2 hour lunch, then 3-6 and read in the evening. Each hour should be 15 hours of work. I am hoping that is not true. This is so that I can re-certify my teaching license in August of 2009. OF COURSE, time will be taken off for lunches and movies out with friends....wink!

I LOVE SUMMER!!
