Happy almost 4th of July!

Hope you are well and ready for some explosions.

Bob has been to Spain and returned yesterday. He didn't seem to enjoy Spain much. Partly, because they weren't really ready for him to do much.

Between the two of us we have been making some overtime and have been able to pay off some bills. Hurray!

I participate in a state program that gets teachers more money for extra work. It runs from May 1 to April 30 of next year and I have that time to do 120 hours of extra work. I worked so hard in May and the beginning of June outside of the regular school day that I already have 65 hours.

I have been taking it easy. Have done a little around the house and yard. My lawnmower boy frequently misses some spots and I have to do some clean up. Watched my babies a couple of times. Got Cash a library card. Been writing to Drew at Boot Camp. Recently I had some minor medical issues and my friend Robin and Rachel took care of me. Possibly overcompensated somewhat, but I do appreciate their help.

Rachel is busy working for Dan. She has been having lots of allergy problems. But she got a cute haircut and seems very happy with that!

Drew is still at Boot Camp. I got one letter and one information sheet written in his handwriting, so I think he is still alive. We are planning to go to visit him for family weekend and/or graduation. Both times fall when I am supposed to be attending inservice at school, but I am going anyway.

Mike called me about a week ago to visit. He said they were doing well.

Veronica has been having fun with her friends. She goes to work part of the time with Rachel. She and her friend Casey on a kick to save the world. They began by trimming leaves off my trees using safety scissors. She has been to her dad's a couple of times to swim.

Cash is a barrel of fun. Learning new things all of the time. I got him a whole bunch of books to read because I was tired of the duck book. Doesn't matter. Still get the duck book. He is quite the dancer. He also is going to be quite the ladies man. He has the cutest little evil grin you ever saw.

Cat and fish are fine. BUT I HATE SQUIRRELS! First they ate the bark off my trees and killed one of them. Now they are digging up my yard. Evil tree rats!

Short entry! Isn't great when you get the time to be boring!
