I am so very busy! Yet feel like I still have so much to do! Life gets that way very often around here...
So I need to stop and remember that life is exciting and fun!
This is what I received last week from Chevron- Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I had written a grant requesting graphing calculators for my classroom, and Chevron funded my grant- second year in a row that this company has helped me out... yes, I am VERY EXCITED- even though it means many hours of lesson prep to help my students figure these out. They will definitely make my class better! Now if someone would like to purchase 5 more, I will have a complete set... maybe next year.
And here is a small part of this year's juice. I had thought I had dodged the canning duty when I discovered my own grapes had been found by the birds... (I thought, 'yeah' but then 'darn!') Then my father called: 'You know, Lee has a lot of concord grapes at his house...' (I thought, 'darn! but then 'Yeah!') Imagine my surprise when the kiddos didn't want to help pick grapes! (But of course, they both have school and a job- Char has three jobs actually) So many hours later between my teaching school and my other various smaller jobs and of course, being mom, we have grape juice (and a broken juicer- but my sis came to the rescue on that score- Thank you, Ardis!)... and yes, I hate to open the bottles after all that work!
And:
had a party/get together with my kids, my parents, and many from my soon-to-be family! Great reason to make Challah bread- Yum! I am so grateful to soon be a part of such a wonderful family and, of course, for my kiddos and parents!
I may be busy and over scheduled- but I am so blessed!
And did I mention?! JON AND LUKE FIXED MY DRYER!!! I can complete more than one load in the same day!!- I didn't appreciate that sentiment until the last 2 1/2 months without a dryer...
