It's my 23rd year and here is the picture my Mom expects.
She would be happier if I was wearing a red dress. She always made me wear a red dress on the first day!

Read on to next posts to see some pictures.
Last weekend Bob and I flew to Georgia to visit Drew at Army bootcamp. He really seems happy and we had a nice visit. I think he actually missed us!
Then we flew home and I went to work at the beginning of the week. Seems like a good group of kids. Bob stayed home and tried to do little, as it is his vacation.
Rachel has been working as usual. There were some scary moments this week as her dad wasn't feeling well and an ambulance had to be called. He seems to be better.
Drew turned 23 on Friday and Rachel turns 27 next week.
We talked to Ryan this weekend and he and Mike and the rest of the family have moved to a new place that is really nice. They are getting ready for school.
Veronica is doing two shots a week for asthma. She is also playing soccer one night a week. She is now a second grader at Holden and we all like her teacher. She is also sassy and it will be good for her to be back in school. It will be good for Rachel to have Veronica go back to school.
Cash is a terror. He is cutting teeth and he is not happy about it. He also likes to have his own way. He loves sausage. Rachel was talking about having bought some sausage and he heard her. He wanted some and she told him no. It made him mad, so he bit Rachel on the butt! That will teach her!
All is well with us and I am very busy. So, I must get going on my next project.
Have a great week!

Robin's Graduation Picture
More Retirement!
Receiving the Wagoner-Martha Newman Day-from the Mayor. The speech. Some of the people. Gift opening.
Doing time at Grandma Martha's
Kids had just as much fun with the pool in the living room as they did with it outside. Mom tries to hold BIG Cash. Rachel and kids at the Cherokee museum.
National Janet Evanovich Website
In June a group and ladies and I traveled to Omaha, NB to see our favorite author, Janet Evanovich.
We dressed up and our picture can be found on the author's website http://www.evanovich.com/
Check under Fearless Fourteen tour photos. Go to that page and it says More Photos. I am the one in the hot pink wig.

Long Gone from Blogging
I'm back! It has been forever and a day since I blogged. Let's catch up!
Bob has been to Spain, Vegas, and Spain. He was extremely tired of traveling and they moved his vacation. Then they tried to take it away again. He was ready to look for another job.
I did things around home.
The last week of July I went with Rachel, Cash, Veronica, and friend Robin to visit my Mom in Oklahoma. Mom had a lovely retirement party at work and then one for friends. She looked great in her suit that Bob picked out! LOTS of people came to her work party and Elvis made an appearance at the evening party. Then she went with friends out of state to gamble.
Then I came home and went to Robin's graduation for her Masters.
Then I got ready for my 23rd year of teaching. It seems to be a good group.
Bob and I got to fly to Georgia to see Drew at boot camp at Fort Benning. I am starting a separate blog for Drew so everyone can keep up on what he is up doing. He was glad to see us and we were glad to see him. He is changing. Lots of muscles, but a little too skinny. Overall he is happy with boot camp. Although, he has some pretty big blisters from the 8 mile hike.
Rachel is working like a madwoman at her father's book company. She comes home dirty and exhausted, but paid. She mostly just works and takes care of the kids, but that is enough to keep her busy and then some. She will never travel with Robin and I again as we don't travel well together.
Veronica has started second grade. I believe her teacher will be great with her. She was very irritated that her mother will not let her pick out her own clothes for school everyday. Hard to believe that starts in second grade. She has spent most of her summer at work with Rachel. The warehouse is a special treat for her and she has crafted everything you can possibly imagine. Veronica is as smart and sassy as can be. She drives poor Rachel nuts with her recently acquired backtalking. She is spending the night in a hotel with Aunt Bebby, aka my sister Bev, as a special treat.
Cash is teething and he is not too happy. He did have a great time visiting at Grandma Martha's. He even did the four hour trip well, although at one point we stopped to get something he had dropped and he said very hopefully, "Done. Done?" He still loves the outdoors. His regular babysitters are a retired couple who live on a farm. They spoil him rotten by taking him out in the tractor to check the cows. Dale went and bought him fish and a tank, because Cash loves fish. His favorite things are tractors.
Mike and Ryan have spent time in CT swimming off the dock in Mystic. They have just moved with their family to an apartment and are getting ready to start their senior years in high school. Wow! Grandma Toni and Grandpa Herman were happy to hear from them when they called.
The fish, Jack is fine. The cat Xena is really thin.
