Happy Father's Day, Birthday, and Independence Day!!
We hope you have had some wonderful holidays!
Life is getting lazy here the more the temperature and humidity go up. Although the human body is amazing! We are actually becoming accustomed to it. Waldo typically walks 1-2 blocks at noon for lunch, and doesn't usually work up a sweat! and Cay walks with the dogs in the morning and evening, and doesn't have to come back in and take a shower like last year!
Father's Day was very low-key this year. the actual Sunday was a work day, and Waldo was on a trip, so we waited until Wednesday and went out to dinner. It was pleasant.
My birthday, on the other hand was more of a challenge. I wanted it to be a non-event, but there are two friends here who also had birthdays the last half of June, so we decided to give eachother a party. The problem is, many of the people we would invite have already left for vacations by then, so we didn't have a lot of people to celebrate with! W
e made up for it though!
Left to right, friends Becky Isip, Shirley Reyes, and me! We had some yummy food that everybody brought, and 2 cakes!
I got a job!! Not what I had hoped and trained for, but its a start. I originally went into one of the nearby schools to apply for substitute teaching, but they started asking about being a full time teacher's assistant. So in August I start as a TA for a 3rd grade class. I'm hoping that being on campus every day will help the administration decide to allow me to student-teach in future.
I am also curious as to how the regular teacher will react to having an assistant that is (probably) the same age as his or her mother!
Our July 4 evening was even quieter, with even fewer people here--although we still had enough for a houseful at a friend's house. He was kind enough to volunteer, even though his wife and family were already gone. We had a lovely feast, and for those that wanted to there were even fireworks at a nearby club.
We are getting ready for our vacation, in which we are planning to visit our newest grandson, his big brother Tyce and his family, camp with our daughter Marci and her family, visit Waldo's mom, brother and sister for a few days, stay with Nena and Ryan and take them camping with us, and all of this in 3 weeks! We just got a new challenge--where can we fit a visit with Cay's brother and family, and our daughter-in law Jen and granddaughter Gigi in? Cay has another week we might be able to use, but its going to be tight. Keep checking back to find out what happens!
We may need to take a vacation after we get back!
