Last Day of School

The kids are going on summer vacation soon, so we had our last day with them.  I was especially anxious to see them.

I thought they'd never get here and I had presents to give them.  But they finally came and before I could give them MY presents, they all sat down and made me decorated bandanas!


Vance made me this one.  He really likes the Art stuff:

I like that he said I make him Happy.  Andrew did one to tell me he was happy, too.  But the H kinda ran.

Susan just loves the glitter glue.  Whenever she makes something we have to let it dry in the back of the car for hours before we can use it.  But that's OK, 'cuz it was pretty.

Even Ms. B, did one for me.  That made me feel really special.

 I thanked them all with kisses and hugs and gave each of them one of my picture books.  They seem to like that.  Finally, Mom and I went home and I got to try on all my new bandanas.  (Actually, there are only two bandanas.  They each decorated half of a square so I got four bandanas from two squares.  They're clever like that!  

I love my kids.

Hope you have some great bandanas to wear!

Love, G

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

Whoever said we live in a desert is nuts!  We have lots and lots of rain.  Only it's not just rain.  Last week I was minding my own business, dozing on the bed (as I am apt to do), when out of the blue, there was a humongous thunder clap.  (Why they call it a clap, I don't know.  Thunder doesn't sound like a clap, it sounds like someone is trying to kill me.)  

I hid:

Well what would you expect when the outside looked like we were going to capsize right in the house.

I ran to Mom and she tried to keep me calm.  But she was too busy taking pictures to worry much about me.  

(Actually, she made me hide under the blanket.  That was 'cuz she thought it looked good for the blog.  I went along with her, like I always do with her pictures.  But I found a spot away from the noise and the water while she was running around taking pictures.)

I stayed there till Dad came home from his golf game.  (Tee Hee, it wasn't much of a golf game!)

Hope you stay dry and safe!

Love, G
