Our rainy spring has given way to a great start to summer here! It didn't rain all week and none in sight. We're  in store for 7+ days of sunshine and temps around 80!

Had a black bear looking at me (and me him) in the back yard this am!

It rained here this morning. I had 80 1st graders coming, on foot, to tour the library and I wondered if they would make it. Once you prepare for something like that you want to see it happen and it did. They were able to take a bus.

Eighty first-graders!!!  I think I'd almost rather deal with that homeless guy. You can't use Pledge on first-graders. 

Actually, that's such a cute age (but 80 all at once....not sure I could handle that).

How'd it go, Kelley?

If you use Raid on 1st grader's it's OK!!!

Trust me, you'd be better off with twice as many kids and a flying squirrel. But he isn't an issue anymore. I made it so that when he tried to get rid of his browsing history the delete button was greyed out. (Yes, he was doing THAT.) He never said anything but a few days later he flew into a rage over something else and, after an unfortunate scene, was told not to return. He said he was going to "report" me for violating his rights and I think my willingness to assist him by calling the cops made an impression. I just hope the whole town didn't hear what he yelled at me and our 80 year old desk clerk when he was leaving. LOL

How'd it go, Kelley?

It was a lot of fun. I only had 20 at a time and they all were very well behaved, even without Pledge or Raid.

Sounds like an unpleasant scene, but I'm happy to hear you're rid of him. That must be a relief.

Twenty at a time sounds a bit more manageable. I do love that age; they are so cute and sweet and loving. (Well, most of 'em, anyway.) Sometimes I wish I could zap my daughters back to that age. My eldest just bought two t-shirts: One says "Whatever" and the other reads "#sorrynotsorry." Ugh. She used her own money, but I told her she can't wear them to school.

Library Song

I love it!    Your timing is perfect; tomorrow the kids and I have a 7-hour drive to the airport. I'll have just enough time to practice so I can sing it for them.

[KelMar]

Have a safe trip. I hope it turns out better than you expect that it might.

[KelMar]

Rain, rain, and more rain. At least our garden is getting a good drink. I feel sorry for our neighbors though. Theirs is flooded. Gardening isn't easy around here!

Thanks, Kelley. I'm trying to not be pessimistic. I figure, at the very least, I get a week where I won't have to make dinner, do dishes, etc. I have 10 (yup, 1-0) books I'm packing, and I splurged on a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship for me and my son. (The girls weren't interested.) It's not a classic ocean liner, but it's the next best thing. 

(I also have bottles of sunblock and Solarcaine, and hats for everyone. After these mild North Dakota summers, the kids aren't going to know what hit them! I probably won't, either.)

There you go Kathy! I'm to that point now too where I take my breaks where I can get them!

[Hello Goodbye]

Getting very very chilly!!!!!

I would expect that.  It's early winter for you down there, KE.


And you're upside down!

Where is your cruise destination?

We're going to the eastern Caribbean.

Bon Voyage Kathleen!!

Thanks! I've been playing that song a lot lately! It's always been one of my favorites. 


See you all in a couple of weeks.......if I'm not hospitalized with depression by then. 

[Dcazz]

You'll have a great time! The only advice I have is to keep your eye on the all night buffets! You'll be exercising all winter to get back your girlish figure!

[Hello Goodbye]

Hurricane Arthur is forming off the east coast of Florida.

[Dcazz]

I think it's going to be here right on the 4th!
