So...What's New?

It's been a while since I posted last. So, what's new? Well, it's been a busy month. I have been applying for principal's positions. I have an interview tomorrow...please pray. I've spent some time in the pool, I've taken a week's vacation to Florida with friends, I've played church league softball, and I've worked in my yard on my landscaping. That pretty much sums up my last month. It's been relaxed and wonderful. It's during the summer months that I fall in love with education all over again! :)

Navarre Beach, Florida

This is Sue and I on the balcony off her bedroom. The view was incredible. On our last morning, I stood out here and watched dolphins swimming right up close to shore. The view out my bedroom, was of the sound and the causeway which was nice, but not as nice as this.

On Friday morning, I woke up around 5:15am. Of course everyone else was still asleep, so I quietly got dressed and headed out to the beach to watch the sunrise. The picture above it what I saw when I faced the west...the picture below is what I saw when I faced the east. Pretty amazing.
This picture was taken on the Destin Beach. The sand is like powdered sugar.

Landscaping pics














I have really enjoyed working on my flower gardens. It truely has become one of my favorite things. I got hooked on HGTV in Florida. I don't get that channel on my cable, and now I'm fighting the urge to upgrade. So many good ideas! The hill out front is in baby stages, but within the next two years, it should be amazing to see how it grows and changes. Just adding the mulch brought alot of curb appeal to the house. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my house and property?
So...what's to come? Well, much of the same. (minus the vacation) But, add in some quality time with my kids. I'm heading to Andrea's next week to get some quality time with Makenzie while Andrea has surgery. (Gall Bladder on Monday the 30th. Keep her in your prayers.) Then after the 4th I'll be arranging to get my Michigan Munchkins for their special weeks with Aunt Kelley. And, I plan to have a rummage sale in there somewhere as well.
Summer will be gone before I know it, but I'm enjoying every day.

Oh what beautiful pictures! I just felt refreshed looking at all of them! I am jealous of your free time though! Working year around isn't much fun! But I guess I will hang around for a while yet! Looking forward to seeing you at Andrea's!
Love ya,
Mom

So I think you could be on HGTV I love it too. However, I don't put anything I learn into practice. Your flowers are beautiful and you do have a green thumb. Good luck on your interview and as always I will be praying.

Seeing your pics of Florida makes me want to go there so bad. Maybe we can all visit when you and Sue take your next trip there and decide not to leave. Ha Ha. I am almost ashamed to let you see my yard and my 3 flats of flowers that took us 2 weeks to plant. Maybe when you come to help Andrea we can go to dinner some night.
