Hey! July 30,2005 Cruise to Mexico Reunion Thread

[jfis1020]

I guess it's o.k. not to sleep in today since I slept until 10 yesterday!! Mallory is up, dressed and ready for church. She goes with my girlfriend who baby sits the kids.

Marshall is sacked out. They got back from their campout at 1 a.m. He had such a great time. THey were at the Lincoln Boyhood site in southern Indiana. They saw Lincoln's cabin and his mother's grave among other things.

Hope everyone is doing o.k. and all of you men are treating the wife like a queen on this Mother's Day!

Ok, we just had brunch with the Rents, my oldest DB and the younger two girls.....it was nice, we were on the beach....it's a little chilly here, the wind is starting to kick up, I guess it's raining where Jenny is b/c it supposed to be coming from Chicago....rain tonight around here..................

Ken & I took our bikes over to the AC boardwalk this morning and took alittle ride, it was a bit cool and windy but not too bad. I hope to do more of that stuff this summer................

Tara called from London today, which was nice! I can't wait to see her...Trayc is planning for her trip and I'm feeling guilty that we can't visit her.....I usually see her every week and this will be 7 weeks with no TrayTray......she'll visit Tara on her way to Rome and then they plan to meet the first w/e in June and go to Paris (I'm not sure if I already said that)

The Lincoln trip sounds cool...............glad he enjoyed it! GL on the Mother's Day gifts! Tara sent me choc covered strawberries and the girls bought us Phillies tix for next Friday night, which should be fun! I also got a huge geranium to plant in my garden!

Hopefully the procedure wasn't serious?? Usually, Lu tells us EVERYTHING about her procedures, I feel alittle in the dark?

How many weeks of school, Jen? I have about 5....I can do it, I can do it...

Tara called and said she and Jer both won some award while working in Hamburg, so that's cool......it's nice to know that maybe all this running around it worth it!

How's everyone? Tomorrow, we have class lists at school, always a tension-filled session amongst the colleagues........ Wish me luck!

South Jersey beaches took a hit ....tremendous sand erosian,water everywhere,flooding,houses burning down (2)....they even activated the Emergency call system, telling us we had a problem I was at my station ,guarding the intersection, water down the neck,and I think there was 2 kids/parents came by.... Of course ,We put the boat in (Tom Hopf,Ken Lawall,Me) yesturday and it blew like a $#%$# all nite,broke lose a line,etc...And to top it off ,the wind and rain is cold ..40's
but before the storm ,they were starting to catch fish... which is a good sign.....

Back to work today after a three day weekend with my edgy DH! He stayed home again today with anticipation of returning to work tomorrow. I am not sure how he is going to sit all day!

It seems as though everyone is trying to fill our calendars here with all the last minute activities before the end of the school year. Marshall has a play tomorrow and tomorrow night. John has two games this week. Then there's the usual scouts, gymnastics, etc.

Oh, no.........Ken Griffey Jr is getting an ear full from Mark....I bet he can hear him all the way to Cincinnati!

We're doing just fine.......... THe last two days have been beautiful blue skies. Maybe a little cool, but very comfortable!

Tonight Marshall is playing the piano for his class' play "Tale of Despereaux". He wrote some music for it himself.

OK, a lesson for all of you, I've learned from experience tonight:

WHEN you put a bowl in the oven, at 400 degrees, and touch the bowl when it comes out of the oven, it is very HOT!
Just want to save my friends from this pain!
You're welcome

Yesterday I was called at 6 AM to sub for a secretarial position in the middle school - had fun as usual. Tomorrow I'm subbing for a learning support aide in the afternoon - the teacher happens to be a friend of mine (WAIT, me have a 'teacher friend' ....the 'way i feel about teachers' - should be FUN!

Tyler had show choir tryouts all week for next year - SO, in the beginning he didn't want to return to show choir next year so he was acting like a jerk, NOW, the kid WANTS to do it again next year - YUP, wonder what kind of chances he has...we are NOT counting our "chickens before they are hatched"!

Bill, tomorrow is recycling day again in Kutztown - reading your 'story', I'm not sure if I'll be recycling or not

Mark OK again?

[jfis1020]

Mark OK again?

Not yet........still a lot of bleeding which the doctor says is "normal". He worked all day, but is home in the tub and won't make Marshall's play. That's what the video camera is for.. I don't think he is ready to be at work but feels pressure since the computer consultants are there to work with the staff. It's his computer stuff he is managing.

I told you guys, just put the dang trash in the can and be gone with it!

 

[lwilliam]

no comment on the teacher thing?

Why are so many of my friends teachers? , when I can't get along with high school teachers?!

Must be a Pennsylvania 'thing' that we feel the need to recycle
