ahhhh summer

So, things have started to slow down somewhat. I have a concert Friday night with the local city orchestra, and after that I haven't decided if I'm going to play with them again, at least for now. Sunday, my sister left for a new adventure and chapter in her life. She is off to South Dakota to begin working on a couple ranches training horses. It's always been her dream. As much as I'm going to miss her, I'm happy for her, and proud of her for doing it.

So now that I have things slowing down, I've decided I'd like to take a little vacation by myself. Not to anywhere exotic or even out of the state. I think I want to explore places I've always heard about going, but never have, like the botanical garden in Grapevine or go visit a winery. Just get out and explore, have fun, and learn to be more independent. So that being said, any suggestions?

Have a fantastic rest of the week!

Summer

As a teacher, there is not much more that I look forward to than summer. This year, it seems I am not having one. From spending the week after school got out to helping with one of my sister's dogs who had surgery, to constant professional development, I'm just tired. I don't even get this tired during the school year. Now, I did do the professional development to myself, but I also have to have a certain number of CPE hours every five years to keep my certificate. Oh, did I mention I'm taking a photography class, just because? Yeah, that's fun!
Oh, I can't forget that my car died well at least I thought it had. I also have a concert Friday. Let's see what else I can add to my week.


I still have to finish my homework for tonight for my workshop tomorrow. Math was never my strong point, but I try. Off to drawing 30cm perimeter shapes....oh joy!
