School Year Ends Life Lessons

School year ends for me and the boys CBE has a student Send Off in the car rider line. It was the best hour that I have had as a teacher during fourth quarter. I packed my classroom for the summer and was able to distantly talk to a colleague/friend which seemed “normal” for just a bit. Family time each day and sleeping in has been quite nice. Now Summer begins - I have a small bucket list and to do-the kids will help me add to it. First, I hope to paint a piece of furniture and lighten the living room. Ashleigh has sewn some small projects and almost finished a dress too- I help with the bobbin and cutting out the fabric. We have a lot of fun shopping for material - especially now that Joanns is open for inside shipping. Ashleigh was unable to serve at Mount Hermon this summer due to Coronavirus restrictions; prayerfully next summer she will return. She continues to meet with some of the Childcare Counselors. We hope to go to the beach and pool too. Family bike rides will be nice too. One of Austin’s really good friends has a for sale sign in front of their house and will be moving - staying local- so this is a bummer. Lots of things to do nearby so that’s great . I’ve made reservations for us to get away too  We have a small garden with many blooms and even small veggies and herbs. Hopefully we will have squash jabs tomatoes soon! Basil and dill are ready to harvest now. Yum!There is an alligator on the bank of the pond behind our house ; so we have to be mindful of that too .
