Summer break doesn’t last very long for the kids out this way. The schools out here operate on a modified traditional schedule, which means they have two week breaks after every quarter, making the summer break shorter by a few weeks compared to other schools. After working for the district all these years, I’ve gotten…
It’s still summer break for the kids out this way but I went back to work after more than a week off. Even though I had a lot of emails and voicemails to go through, it wasn’t so bad. I have air conditioning at work and not many interruptions when it’s summer break… TV The…
It was such a lovely week, weather-wise. We had a couple of days where it was actually cool enough to not run the a/c after work. Amazing! Of course, now it’s warming up again. The forecast says that we’ll have triple digits by the end of the week. Yikes! Our Saturday started with corn hole.…

My new tattoo is now upon me! This one took a little over an hour and oddly enough didn’t seem to hurt as much as my last tattoo. Is it because we chatted while he was working? Was it because my body knew what to expect? Perhaps it was the artist’s touch? Right now it’s…
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter Sunday. Mine was spent watching a bit of baseball, finishing up a book then reading a rather dated romance novel (even though it was written in the late ’90s). Saturday was our fun day of the weekend. We woke up early enough for the farmers market! We had…
